    My movies are returned to Louisiville, KY from Nashville (160 mi). It takes a day to return and usually get an email in the afternoon that your next movie has shipped. However it takes 2 days for me to receive them.

    Because if it walked, it would get mugged.

    it seems to be getting slower since i joined BB in october.
    Netflix was 1 day there 1 day back,(send back to NF monday,have next movie Wed.) when i switched to BB, it was 1 day there 1-2 days back ,same as netflix basically, except they dont process mail sat/sunday nights like netflix does.

    now for about a month its been 2-3 days there,2-3 days back. Philly processing center is 45 minute drive from my house, BB and NF have Philly dist center.my last 3 movies took 8 days each from sending to receiving, thats a little long. i had some months with netflix where i watched 8 movies (1 at a time service).

    not sure why the slow down. BB getting busier? Nf def did better job,but i will stay with BB and hope it improves. with all the hoopla going on with post office, future looks ldim for getting more than 2-3 movies in a month via BB.

    I'm experiencing the same time as you. Appproximately 3 days to me and 3 days back to them. I live in NE MS and BB mails movies to me from Baton Rouge about 250 miles away. Netflix discs come to me out of Memphis and are 1 and 1k, but to be fair, Memphis is a lot closer than Baton Rouge. I cut my Netflix down to 1 at a time + streaming (I have a 922) because of BB Mpass, but I'm conidering reupping Nflix to at least 2 because of BB's slowness.

    Looks like my local BB store is closing. That sucks because if we watched the movies quick enough and with taking advantage of the in-store exchange, we could easily get at least 4 movies per week...

    Normally we have two day shipping time...so I am very impressed this week. I dropped off two movies late in the day Thursday at the store (my in-store exchanges). Got an email Friday that they shipped out and to expect on Monday. However, the mail just ran and both movies were there (Saturday). So I got one day shipping this time. Plus being the weekend, we'll get to watch and exchange those two movies for two others this weekend, so we'll get 4 movies this weekend we weren't expecting. Good job, Blockbuster!

    Since my local store is closing, I just had my first attempt at mailing back a disc instead of dropping it off at the store. Funny thing is, there was no difference in how long it took. I mailed the movie back Tuesday and received my next one today!!

    Where I live in Georgia, the nearest Netflix (mail processing) location is Duluth. The nearest BB location is Atlanta. (If you follow the interstate from where I live, also, you pass Atlanta first.) I sent a Netflix BD and a Blockbuster BD back on the same day. I had received the next BD from Netflix, watched it, and sent it back before my next Blockbuster video came in the mail. Both of the BD discs (from Netflix and BB) were both listed as 'available now.' There are two video games in my que from BB--both of which are listed as 'very long wait'. I've had BB for over a month now via Dish and am yet to receive a game even though they are top of the list. (My 'wait' time for a disc is set to one day in BB.)

    It's been my experience that, with Netflix, they send the next available disc right away.. If they had to send a disc that was not #1 in your cue, they would send it when it became available--even if you still had the other disc out. Does BB do this? I seriously doubt because then I would have received a game by now!

    People have been griping about Netflix raising prices but their service (as far as deliver time and availability of what they SAY they offer) sure is a lot better. If Dish didn't bundle it with the extra HD channels, I would stay with Netflix.
