Returned "The Artist" on Monday, new disc mailed out today. That's pretty great considering yesterday was a holiday.
Anyone noticed that getting Blockbuster disks at home has suddenly slowed to a crawl?

Both Gaithersburg and Richmond are so close that all mail from there arrives next day. I have never received a disk from BB the next day after they claim to have shipped it.
My center is in Lansing, MI (1 1/2 hours away) and I'm getting great turn around time now. I'm getting a 3 day turn around (drop off at store on day 1, processed on day 2, get new disc on day 3), same as when I had Netflix (also located in Lansing, MI). When I first signed up with BB, I was getting a 4 or 5 day turn around.
Dropped off at store on day 1, processed and mailed me a disc on day 2, received on day 4 or 5 usually, but never on day 3.
They must of closed a lot of distribution centers. I used to get my delivery one day after shipment now it takes 3. I think it is still worth it because of the movie channels. If non Dish customers are having theses problems, I can't see them staying in business.
i get movies 2 days after shipment most of the time now. but, they never send available titles at the top of my queue.
My shipping varies. Sometimes I get a disc sent to me in 2/3 days, other times it takes a week. Never can tell. But it is what it is.

Most all the recent releases are, short, long or very long wait. I'm down to getting the 8th or 9th movie on my queue....no problem with turnaround though, I get a movie a week.
It helps if the scanning system works and the USPS is actually scanning the barcodes on the envelopes and transmitting it to BB. I know that sometimes mine does and sometimes they don't. I dropped a disc in the mail yesterday (Saturday) and my que shows that I currently have nothing at home so on this time, it must have gone right. I think a big problem with turnaround is that the envelopes aren't be scanned by USPS.
The clocks in your house must be terrible, if a 20% variation is "like clockwork" to you.
I work for the USPS and the bar codes on the BB/Netflix envelopes are never scanned, our scanners do not recognize some bar codes/symbolgy, a scan-able bar code will either be accepted, or offer the options for international, COD or neither. I recently read that we should have real time scanning in 2014.
