You Netfix conspiracy theorists really amuse me.

My DVDs always go to Worcester, MA. 40 miles from here. They get to me the
same day they're shipped or the day after. I'm guessing that your situation
has other factors to it besides Netfix's nefarious plan to get you off your
couch once in a while.... like perhaps the ratio of volume to available
staff to facilitate the fastest turnaround possible? Maybe this week there's
less traffic in Colorado than in Honolulu. Here's an idea: why not call them
and ask them about how it works. I doubt that the phone drone who answers
can tell you that but if you act like a human being when you talk to them
I'm sure they can escalate the question appropriately.

paranoia, paranoia everybody's coming to get me....
