Although it’s certainly more convenient than driving to a brick-and-mortar video store, I wasn’t too pleased with Netflix. The service is very inconsistent. I found that DVDs took anywhere from 1 to 4 days to arrive at the distribution center, and then it took another day before a new DVD was sent out. As a result, the “unlimited DVDs” service actually amounted to an “no more than one DVD per week” service.
I just recently ended my year subscription and netflix automatically renewed my subscription. I wish they would have sent out a e-mail stating that they were going to this or at least let me know my subscription was going to end. Give me some sort of chance to rectify it.

Netflix is the most convenient way to view movies. Movies arrive is 1-2 days. They can be kept as long as viewer would like. Returning them is even easier.

What a super deal. This is as low as $4.99 a month. You can get movies in less than five days and you don’t even have to leave your house. You can have some of your favorite and the most popular even at this rate.

This is the greatest thing since delivery pizza. There are no late fees, so you can keep the DVD as long as you want and watch it as many times as you want. There are TV shows as well as movies available, so you can catch up on your favorites or watch older series again. They even give you the (free) return envelope, so there’s not shipping for the return.

It was great to be on netflix. Their prices have stayed constant. They have a good selection. Shipping is quick and easy, and they don’t come after you if the post office loses your DVD.

I absolutely love Netflix! I have been a customer for a few years now, and find the service and the selection of dvd’s to be first rate. I have also started using their streaming movie service at times, and find it quite excellent, too. I can now hook up an RGB (vga) cable to the back of my computer and watch movies whenever I want to on my lcd t.v. I definitely recommend Netflix for movie lovers and more!

I really love my Netflix subscription. No more checkout lines at the DVD rental store! No more searching up and down the aisles for an indie film that the store doesn’t stock! No more late fees! No shipping! Now that they have the $4.99 plan, it’s a great deal. It’s pretty easy to switch from plan to plan, so some months when I know there won’t be much on TV, I switch to the unlimited plan and burn more quickly through my list. Then when good TV starts again, I drop back down to the lowest plan. But you have to remember to switch DOWN before your billing date (they will prorate your switch UP to a pricier plan at any time, but won’t prorate if you are switching to a cheaper plan).
I was on travel and took my laptop computer with me. The hotel where I stayed had wireless Internet. I didn’t think of it at the time, but when I got back I realized I could have signed into my Netflix account and watched a Netflix streaming movie on my computer instead of TV or the pay per view hotel movie. I’ll probably do this the next time I travel.
