    For UK posters.

    I'm just finishing a 14 day free trial with Tesco.

    Unlimited DVDs, 2 at home at any time £11.99 (£8.99 if you pay the year up front!)

    It's really good - very impressed.

    2 day turnaround.

    Just slightly bugs me that Tesco is taking over the world

    We've had Netflix for almost a year and have been very happy with them. Usually one day, sometimes two days for a turnaround. We belonged to Blockbuster for many years. But being a small, mom & pop business ourselves for 30 years, we appreciated the fact that it was Netflix, not Blockbuster, that pioneered this concept. Once Blockbuster (the corporate bully) started to feel the pain, they immediately entered into cut-throat competition with Netflix, no doubt hoping to eliminate them. We feel that pressure every day in our business from the corporate bullies of the world, and so we will continue to support Netflix, as long as they continue providing good service.

    Having said that, your situation is intolerable. You need to get ahold of someone at corporate headquarters and tell them your story. Your experience is absolutely atypical. Something's wrong. Somethings screwed up with your account in their computer system maybe. There's got to be a good explanation. Don't hesitate to let them know you're discussing your experience on a forum visited by many thousands every day. Wouldn't it be great if they made things right for you so you could share something very positive about Netflix with all of us.

    Netflix takes too long. With Blockbuster online you can also take your video when your done into a Blockbuster store and trade it up for another flick for free! So potentially no wait time if you plan it out right.

    Waiting isn't the problem ( though I do expect if you advertise fast service it be fast service ) selection is way more important to me. Most if not all the stuff I want to rent is hard a find to bye much less rent. Blockbuster had some of it netflix has more. Though if they continue to treat me badly I will give BB a try.

    idiocracy was a great theory, i just think they could have done much better with it. i loved the point, but, the actual movie was lame. i do like the part about electrolytes. lol that was funny.
