Hahah... thats crazy! I heard that Netflix is so organized and their processes are so streamlined that the USPS was trying to study them and get some
pointers.

netflix and gamefly have barcodes attached to your address that corresponds to the movie you have out
as soon as the post office scans it they send out the next one in your list
very little human involvment
I get about 18 moives a week....

You'd think the USPS would love getting all that business. Bunch of lazy bitches.

I've been with Netflix for 2 years and have had only 1 broken disc.
I'm always happy with the service.
Hell, I have the Wisdom In Chains DVD on the way from Netflix.

I forgot about that DVD.
I'm usually happy with Netflix and the only hiccups in the service I usually write off to the ineptitude of my local post office. Lazy mother fuckers
in Germantown.

Been with Netflix for almost six years now and they have usually been pretty good. The USPS is actually losing money from Netflix because the movies
are not supposed to be hand sorted but wind up being hand sorted most if the time which costs the USPS more then what Netflix pays for shipping so I
wouldn't be surprised if Netflix raises their rates soon.

VERY Oddly they actually lowered the rate a few months back.

HAILS to the Flix!
Best service ever IMO. All of the horror I want, uncut and uncensored.
