I took a Netflix DVD to the Postal sorting facility on July 7th and
Netflix reported receiving it today (7/18/2005). Either the postal
service is slow or misplaced the DVD, or perhaps Netflix is slow? It's
really difficult to determine, but from all the posts here I'm
beginning to see a pattern. Netflix has received a DVD in three days,
but 11 days is unreasonable. If this keeps up I plan to cancel. My
local video store runs 89-cent rental specials from their library (not
recently released.)
