I joined Intelliflix about 6 weeks ago because they had about a dozen titles
listed as "available" that Netflix didn't carry. In my first 3 weeks,
they've sent me two of the titles, and none since then. To be fair, all of
these were listed as "long wait" when I put them in my cue, but I haven't
been thrilled with how long the shipping and return process takes with
them--with Netflix I can receive a film, ship it back, and get the next one
all in a total of 3 or 4 days maximum--Intelliflix takes over a week (more
if you include weekend days because I don't think they work Sundays AND
Saturdays).
I'm going to keep my subscription to Netflix and change my account at
Intelliflix to "pay by the rental" and just use them for the very few titles
Netflix sometimes doesn't have in their stock. I wouldn't be surprised if
their service goes belly-up soon...
