I used Netflix a while back, and I was really pleased. I had to cancel because I didn't have time to watch a lot of movies anymore, but I did notice that it was taking a lot longer to get a movie back in the mail.
I wouldn't use Blockbuster because they are an evil corporation. I hate them. They used to turn people over to collections all the time for nominal late fees. They also had a huge scandal over their new "no late fee" arrangement. They weren't telling people that they would have to pay for the movie if they didn't turn it in a week or so after the due date. They got hit with a class action lawsuit because of it. I just hate Blockbuster in general, so I wouldn't be able to give you much advice as far as the quality of their online service.

Netflix was sued because of that they do it on purpose it's called throttling. But blockbuster isn't any better. In fact the they lie about you can just take it to the store and get another you can't you most have an acount with the store and you can only do it so many times.

I just signed up for Blockbuster. So far, I have gotten three movies the next mailing day after they were put on my queue, turned them in for three in-store movies, and the next day they sent notification they mailed my next three movies. They told me I could get up to, like, 80 movies a month this way. So far, it's been 9 movies in 10 days, and I'm pleased. I am on the 14-day trial, but have already gotten more than the $17.99 monthly fee's worth of movies. Again, I am brand new to this, and haven't run into any problems as of yet. Give it some time, and I may have another story.

the netflix bastards throttled me 2x's but each time I told them off ... they have now stopped.

Maybe it's because I live in a small town near the border and they are worried.

Blockbuster is the only one I've tried. I like it. the in store movie return get a free thingy is very nice. I always return on Tuesday so I get the new releases when they are just out. They tend to dissappearrr whennn you get there late in the day...
I live near the hub city where they are mailed from and I get them within a day. Works good.
They have always responded to any complaints very promptly. (sometimes I'd get a broken disk (once) or the wrong one, (once) or such.
My friend swears by Netflix online. You get so many minutes of streaming time and can watch anything they have available online... No waiting there.

I've never been on Blockbuster, but I'm on Netflix and couldn't be happier.
We ordered Ghostrider (Lame movie by the way) and recieved it THE VERY DAY it was released... awesome.
I live in the middle of nowhere. So all I can say is... is there something wrong with your post office 5GO?
