Which, of course, take many days to arrive...and the return envelope is to the same location!

I got a replacement promptly and it, too, was cracked. Netflix was realy good about it. they replaced that one. And the next one. And the next. It became a long drawn-out tragi-comedy, and it wasn't until the 7th!! try that I was able to see the movie.<BR/>Had to've been a manufacturing problem, but it was worth the wait. Good flick!<BR/>They also threw in an extra disk for a couple months. I was happy.<BR/>Me thinks that's called "meanderflixing".e. mandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-50524918124842903722008-01-31T18:37:00.000-08:002008-01-31T18:37:00.000-08:00I think they call that one Badluxidize, Adam.Mr. Tangenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10458850433482941401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-33123640376936682732008-01-30T22:06:00.000-08:002008-01-30T22:06:00.000-08:00What is it called when Netflix sends their customers a damaged DVD to replace a damaged DVD, and it takes two business days for them to send the third one?Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02725481028548027412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-71783085553490501252008-01-29T09:01:00.000-08:002008-01-29T09:01:00.000-08:00How about NetflixHD?

Rinse, repeat.

This is especially bad when you have planned a double feature night that was to have featured your number one and two movies. It should be noted that at no time during a Netf*cking does the availability change to indicate that there is any type of wait for the movie in the number one position in your queue. <BR/><BR/>This term can also apply to receiving the sleeve of the movie that you ordered containing a different version of the film you wanted - different cast, director, everything. Even worse is when this occurs twice with the same movie even though you have reported the error, as I experienced with <I>The Merchant of Venice</I>CnCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765056849626104020.post-45247605131160989852008-01-25T09:51:00.000-08:002008-01-25T09:51:00.000-08:00<B><I>Come on now, it's not an honest retort to throw up the tired "toasters and photo-frames" thing.</B></I><BR/><BR/>Mac users are not unique or special.
