Collected Thoughts

My experience with them is the first month (the free month) things came rather quickly and I was able to get enough DVDs to make the flat fee affordable. The second month was okay, but not as quick, but after that, I started running into problems. They started stretching the time. They'd take forever to acknowledge that they got my DVDs, then they'd take forever to send out the next ones. When I emailed them about it, they said how long it took the post office to deliver was not their problem, when obviously it wasn't the post office seeing as how it took 3 days to get from them to me and/or back to begin with before. The fact that the times got longer and longer was even more suspicious. I mean one or two disks taking longer might be the mail, but every disk? And the times getting exponentially longer each time? I don't think so.

Yeah, they try to keep you from watching as many disks as possible so that you aren't saving any money by using them. I finally cancelled my subscription. It's a pain because for me, living in a rural area with no big chain video stores like Blockbuster, it's hard to find a lot of things.

I'm not the only one to have this problem either. When I bitched about it in my livejournal, someone replyed to tell me that she lived in the same city as one of the distrobution centers and that it only took like one to two days to get her disks... by the time she cancelled her service, it was taking a week and a half! Somehow I doubt that driving from one side of town to the other takes the post office a week. Even if they had to get the disks from another center, it shouldn't have taken that much time EVERY time.
