"These effects will not occur unless we are faced with limited inventory
at your local distribution center or when the number of shipments to be
processed by that distribution center on that day is exceeded. In
determining priority for shipping and inventory allocation, we may
utilize many different factors such as the number and type of DVDs you
rent through our service, the subscription plan you select, and other
uses of our service by you. For example, if all other factors are the
same, we give priority to those members who receive the fewest DVDs
through our service."
In other words, they also have a limited number of shipments from each
warehouse.
