    Does Dish Care About Blockbuster Movies at Home (Mail) Service?

    The local stores have a plan where you can have unlimited in-store exchanges (nothing by mail). I believe it is $15 per month, half price for the first month. If you lived close enough to the store, you could probably get a lot of value from this, as it isn't all that unlikely to think you...

    very long wait for a year now!

    Well, I'd say they were correct. A year plus IS a "Very Long Wait". :p Sort of like the wait for something in your signature.

    BB Blu-rays - Bad sectors on purpose?

    I got 75+ Blu-ray during my subscription time had issues with one, or maybe it was two. Very small percentage of total discs I had were problematic. Local store actually let me just switch one without using my "exchange".

    Removing BB@H

    Thanks, Mary. I'll most definitely be back to Dish. This is a temp move for me to save a little money and be able to hopefully come back with some new customer promos down the road. One thing I know for sure...nobody has a team quite like DIRT! You guys are awesome! Thanks for all your...

    Removing BB@H

    Ok, I just canceled Blockbuster. Not because I am unhappy with it at all. In fact, it has been fantastic for us. I just got lured in by Time Warner with a super low price Win-Back promo and I was at the end of my 2 years with Dish anyway. I won't be canceling Dish for about another week or...

    List your Distribution Center!

    Charlotte, NC is mine. One or two day shipping consistently. I've very pleased with turn around time. I always do an in-store exchange first so I never have mailed one back to them.

    Blockbuster@Home website

    I have BB@Home, but I was just on blockbuster.com managing my queue. It is the only way I've ever used as I don't like the interface through the Dish site. So it most definitely still works for some of us.

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    One thing that could contribute to the longer wait times is that it appears the stores accumulate movies and ship them back in a big envelope or box. I can turn in a movie and not get a confirmation email that the in-store exchange is received back at the distribution center for a week or more...

    Removing BB@H

    I agree they could do better. However, I have had new releases on a fairly regular basis. I don't get bent out of shape if I don't get a new release or the top pick in my queue, while it appears some do. I know some people say they can't get anything at all shipped and I have no reason to...

    Removing BB@H

    I think your comments about "no blockbusters and few new releases" is one key. If you can wait a few weeks (and if you can't why didn't you see it in theaters, LOL) then the service seems to work a lot better. If you want all new releases the day they come out, that can be a problem for any...

    How many people are happy with Blockbuster @ Home?

    I'm sure there will be plenty of others who will be happy to take up your slack on the posting of negative criticism...THAT, for one, is a constant around here. :rolleyes: Lots of people think it is fun. LOL If you feel the service was a hassle, or like you said in another thread, causing...

    Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

    I just looked at my queue and I have 38 titles (plus 20 not yet released so I don't count those). Out of the 39 titles, I have 2 "unavailable", 2 "Very long wait", 1 "long wait" and 1 "short wait". This leaves me with 32 available now. Granted not all of these are the most recent releases...

    small complaint about blockbuster

    I have had the same thing happen many times. I'll even get shipped movies that show a wait (normally short wait, but at least once a long wait was shipped to me), and sometimes it bypasses available titles. I know I'm probably not as high-maintenance as other people but I figure if it is in my...

    Removing BB@H

    This simulates my experience also. No problem getting discs to ship. A fair number of new releases have shipped, and it has been easy to get them in-store exchange for the ones that didn't. Of course, I keep 30-40 titles in my queue at all times, as well. I've said it before and I'll say it...

    Blockbuster to close Dallas Distribution Center

    You can, sort of. They have an in-store plan that you can continually exchange a disc in store (not the mailed disc, this is a separate plan) as many times a month as you can do it. Basically if you could watch 5 or 6 movies a day there is no limit that I am aware of on this plan.

    Blockbuster to close Dallas Distribution Center

    I make no guarantee that this is true but here is what I posted a few weeks ago over in the BB sub-forum that may not have been seen by a lot of folks since that section of the board has slowed down a lot with all the Hopper excitement lately: Well, this is interesting IF true, and I have no...

    BB liquidating rental BD stock??

    Well, this is interesting IF true, and I have no reason to believe it isn't. I was just at my local Blockbuster to do an in-store exchange. We commented on how busy the store has been the last few months and the fact they had a "Now Hiring" sign up. The manager told us the last three months...

    How many people are happy with Blockbuster @ Home?

    I think that he may have meant the three discs over the two month period costs approx. $6 each ($20 divided by 3= $6.67). Of course using that same logic, that means he got 20+ channels and streaming for two months for free! :D

    BB liquidating rental BD stock??

    In looking at that sign I think it's pretty obvious where the "move" is to...the Internet as someone said. If anyone gets confused by that sign...(I'll be kind here and not say what I was thinking). :p Anyway, the sign is not confusing at all. It's a "move" out of brick and mortar, at least...

    Mailers always ripped to shreds upon receipt

    I've received one or two (out of probably 60+) that have been partially open but not destroyed. All were totally usable to seal back up for the in-store exchange. I've never mailed one back with a store so close, I always do the exchange. The BB envelopes are not as high quality as the...

    Bluray Titles LONG WAIT and NOT AVAILABLE in Store ???

    I currently have the three out at a time plan, however, considering dropping that down for a while as we have a lot of things coming up that would keep us busy on weekends for a few months and weekends are when we watch the largest percentage of movies. We're not really "power users" who try to...

    Bluray Titles LONG WAIT and NOT AVAILABLE in Store ???

    All Bluray titles...I have received the following on the week of release lately: In time, The Thing, Scorpion King 3 (mistake...don't watch it), Columbiana, Paranormal Activity 3. As you see, all very recent releases to Bluray. ;)

    Bluray Titles LONG WAIT and NOT AVAILABLE in Store ???

    The last few titles I have received my first choice new release at the top of my queue. I've noticed an improvement lately. No complaints here! ;)

    Another store closing

    Our closest store is, according to the BB website, 1.93 miles from our home. That store is extremely busy, even on weekdays it seems. We also have 4 other stores within reasonable distance although I don't use any of them. The mileage to those stores: 6.41, 8.43, 10.59, 11.10. I am not 100%...
