Thread: How long do your movies take to arrive in the mail?

How long does it take, on average, from the time when you get the email notifying you that a movie is on the way to when it ends up in your mailbox? For me, the average seems to be about 4-5 business days.

Before people jump all over me, this is not a complaint thread. I'm purely curious as to whether or not this is a pretty standard time, or if I live in a weird postal service dead zone. Netflix used to take one day, but they had a shipping facility in Phoenix (I'm in Tucson).

Nextday, they come from Richmond,va. I live about 50 miles away.

2 days usually - very slow in Atlanta area for me, where Netflix is always the next day.

Almost always 3 days, once in a while 2. I live about an hour away from both the BB and NF distribution centers. NF (when I had it) almost always was one day.

Example: BB sends an email that they received my return on Monday. If I'm lucky I'll get another email saying they shipped the next disc the same day (Monday). I don't receive it until Thursday. NO WAY it was mailed until at least Tuesday.

BTW, the distribution center is about an hour drive away......

Blockbuster is consistently 4 days turnaround. With Netflix it was 2-3 days.

Any where from next day to four days. I think the ones that aren't next day are being shipped from another location instead of Seattle (for me). Netflix was always next day & they came from Tacoma. I'm about halfway between Seattle & Tacoma.

I must be lucky. I almost always get mine the next day after being shipped to me. I'm about 120 miles from the Minneapolis distribution center. They must be good there, because I always get an email that they received my movie, and another email the same day a short time later saying they shipped my next movie. The next day it is usually in my mailbox.

We get them the day before they say it will get here. Usually two days from when we get the email saying it's been mailed.

4 days out, 4 days back. Raleigh, NC ... but if they have a place in Richmond and I believe another Charlotte, I can't imagine why it's taking so long.

With Netflix it's 1 day out, 1-2 days back. Once I got a movie the day after I mailed one out, I'm still scratching my head over that one. Also, one of my movies had to come across the country so they sent me another movie in my queue while I was waiting so I ended up with 2 movies out.
