  • I'm with you! I totally don't care. So I had to go for a walk tonight instead of watching <checks queue> Roman Holiday.
  • Haha, loved that Roman Holiday was next in your queue...
  • I love Netflix...they even have great service in Alaska. I don't care that my movies didn't arrive on time...what kind of people get upset over something like that?
  • I've been a Netflix member for two years. The few minor problems I encountered were immediately taken care of and the great service far outweighs this episode. I am absolutely sure Netflix is working their collective butts off to rectify the problem, after all, it is in their best interestes.

  • I have similar feelings, and I'm typically a curmudgeon when it comes to a company dropping the ball. Granted, I may change my tune if a week or so goes by and I have yet to get a new shipment, but for now, I agree with you that Netflix has exceeded my expectations pretty consistently - long enough that this sort of thing can happen and it doesn't really bother me.
  • Daniel, my thoughts exactly. If it's a few days, no biggie, but I agree
    that once we start using the word "week" instead of "day" to describe
    this problem, that might be different... Hopefully we won't get to that
    point.
  • I have never tried the netflix service. But I have tried Blockbuster's version of this and it was incredibly disappointing. Firstly, my movies and games almost always came later than they said it would. Secondly, they jacked up my monthly rates which is why I am no longer with them. Thirdly, anytime I called their customer service line I always got a rude and unhelpful response. Blockbuster really pulled me off this mailing movies thing. But, after the reviews I've been hearing about netflix, I may just be giving them a shot. The convenience of getting movies mailed to me might just be too good to pass up.
  • Netflix may be one of the best customer support orientated corporations out there. The greatest thing it has done for its customers is to NOT outsource its call centers out of the country. It’s so nice to not only talk to an American - English speaking service rep, but I love being able to support a company that is creating jobs IN America. KUDOS to Netflix.
    More KUDOS for working out NETFLIX streaming on the XBOX 360 -- I didn't even realize there was a shipping issue until I read this article because I was watching 14 hours of streaming NETFLIX content on my XBOX. Clay pigeons was great, tripping the riff was fun, and it was great to watch Monty’s Meaning of Life again. None of these were in my queue but this instant streaming stuff is too cool to resist and I've actually started looking through all the instant content.
    Under Promise -- Over Deliver
    That would make a great slogan for NETFLIX
    If you want to complain about NETFLIX first try to grasp the reality of the logistics and third parties involved. Then give them props for being one of the very few that do not outsource all of their jobs to other countries, and finally, try telling Blockbuster that you REALLY DID return those last two movies and see how they treat you – when I told NETFLIX I had mailed the 2 DVDs back they simply marked them as reported missing and sent me my next 2 in the queue – no questions – no charge!
  • Has read with the pleasure, very interesting post, write still, good luck to you!
  • Netflix has done an amazing job innovating in this space and continues to do. They have earned the right to have us cut them some slack.
  • nice post.. thanks for your support NETFLIX.. good job...!!!
