Also, it also helps to check the previously discussed "Return envelope"
thing:
Recently got three of my four disks, two return-postaging to the local
center, and one to Pittsburgh...Fortunately (even though I had one of
those old-school disk-holders that keep the envelopes and disks
separate), I remembered to note which of the disks was/were from "out of
town", and keep them organized--
Which will not only help speed return disks to their proper "next"
renters, but also explain why some titles return "slower" than others in
my own queue.
