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.
