Unfortunately I have to also report that for "unknown"reasons their service 
does not work for me as well as it was when I started. For the first 9 
months it worked fine and then it started to get bad. Disks they note as 
shipped do not arrive. Some that do, take an abnormally long time to get to 
me: from Minneapolis to me in St.Paul (just across the river) has taken as 
long as 6 days! Since the postal service has also gotten undependable, I was 
at first ready to blame the postal service (mail addressed to me is 
sometimes misdelived to other people as far away as several city blocks.) I 
now feel that Netflix is to blame, at least partially. I do not get any 
e-mails when the title is shipped, I do not get any e-mail when a title is 
returned. Looking at their web site (in my account area) I notice that 
videos returned by me are often not listed as received until several days 
later. I always return the video at the local post office. Most other mail 
between the Twin Cities does not take longer than 1 day. I have a "1 a day" 
account and when a title is "lost" I have to wait for 6 more days and then 
request a replacement. This reduces the number of videos I get to watch to a 
point where I feel it is no longer cost effective. Once I received a DVD 
that was broken (NOT scratched, but broken!). I returned it with a note that 
is was broken. I received an e-mail that the receiving section can not 
accept or answer enclosed notes). I requested a replacement and you would 
not guess, but I received the same disk again! This time I put a piece of 
paper between the fracture and told them that this is indeed a fracture. 
 Well, it was good while it lasted, 
Hubert.
