I have a family member with health issues that is confined to the house,
reading and Movies are their main escape and only real form of
entertainment. Netflix offers a service that at one time was a blessing to
them as the movies arrive, they watch them and we drop them back in the mail
(Generally, but not always the next day). I live about 60 miles from their
distribution center and USED to be until about a month ago, that within a
day they would receive and send out the next 3 selections. This has now
changed to a trickle of maybe being able to turn movies over once a week
often taking 2-3 days from time I drop them in the mail to them saying thety
have received them and then another day (sometimes two) before the next ones
ship out.
I would say our use is far from irresponsible, but apparently you (and
Netflix) feel differently.
I will do the responsible thing and return my current selections at the end
of the month. If enough of us do this, hopefully some 'responsible', less
frequent renter will be left waiting because the movie is not in stock.
