You can get 3 DVDs 3 times a week if you get them to the post office
shortly after you receive them. Of course you will have to rip them so
you can watch them later.

Sometimes they come cracked. But most of the time if they can't be
read, a little Brasso cleans them up.

After my BB queue showed the first twelve entries were going to be
"long wait" I decided to go over to Netflix. Only about 1 in 100 is
delayed for a few days.

However I ordered Battlestar Galactica before it came out on DVD, and
when it did I am being subjected to a "very long wait". One of the
things about BB is they included 2 store DVDs so you could always get
the slow poke that way.
