This is weird.

We used Netflix for about a year and really liked it, but the movies took a couple days to get. I just signed up for a free trial of blockbuster online, and it shipped about a day faster. Is this normal? Hmm.

Overall, i liked the Netflix site a lot better, but this was a nice surprise.

Anyone else have this happen?

did you search for netflix and throttle?

throttle - is the mechanism by which the flow of a fluid is managed by constriction or obstruction. but in this case... dvds

Closer warehouse?

also, when netflix didn't have my money yet... their dvd ships very fast.

when netflix was throttling, as far as I know, it was only people who rented a ton of new release movies.

I've been with Netflix for like 2-3 years now and have never experienced anything close to it.

their throttling policy does not effect how soon they ship to you after they get your movie, but rather (as i understand it) how likely you are to get the first movie in your queue if its a popular title.

i go through A LOT of netflix dvds in a month, i get put on a very long wait for any new release, but i *always* get my movies very quickly.

you guys might be right, maybe no warehouse close by.

we have a netflix warehouse in the same city. and i got throttled when i was going thru dvds very fast. but lately, i don't watch them as fast. with work i don't pay attention to how fast i get them anymore.

where did the movies come from? for me Netflix only takes a day or less whereas Blockbuster would always take 2 days or more.
