It's called "throttling" and Blockbuster does it too. I've had delays
(without any movies) up to two weeks. I'm in E. TN and some DVDs were
being shipped from Seattle or Boston instead of Atlanta. It got worse
and I canceled Netflix. The service can be good for those having a
nearby distribution center, but not all DVDs are at all centers.
Shipping is stalled on weekends and holidays.
