Online Movie Rentals

[CHPMustang]

Does any of ya'll rent movies from online places like Netflix,Blockbuster,WalMart & IntelliFlix? What's your experiences been as far as good and bad?

I'm thinking about renting movies this way but would like feedback as I've read that customers can get "blacklisted" if they return movies too fast.-mad

We use Blockbuster and Netflix.... and have been very happy with both... its very easy ... go on line click a list of videos you would like to see.... in a few days they begin to show up... after youve watched em, you put it back in the envelope and ship em back.... no hurry... no late fee..no stress... since we've gone this route we've only rented a couple at the store.... as in less than 5 over the past 6 years...

Watch out for Netflix "throttling" of rentals.

Just search on google search for it.

id be more than happy to do all of that, but i hate the fact id have to wait about 2 days to actually watch them, and 2 days for them to arrive there...so its most likely a 4 day turn-around, so finish your movies on monday night, get some on friday?

Yep that's about right had netflix and it was usually a 4 day turnaround and I live in the metro area w/ the distribution center. Occasionally I'd get them back on wed depends on how fast they processed the incoming ones. I canceled it after about 6 months when they jacked up their price which they've since lowered again In all honesty since I don't watch movies too much anyway I was making time to actually watch the ones I had so I didn't feel like I was wasting my $$.

We use netflix. Good mix of movies for the kiddos as well as mom and dad. There are times when we are so busy that we'll keep a movie for 2-3 weeks before weatching it. On the other hand we've had movies for my 6 year old that he watches 10 times in 2 weeks. We love it. If your planning a 'date' night, just have to plan ahead to make sure you get a movie so your not empty handed. Late fees were killling us....thats over with now. no standing in line at blockbuster or running back at 11:30 because I forgot to turn in a movie.
