Ah yes, our postal carriers at work. The same thing happened with the now defunct William Shatner Sci Fi DVD CLub, of which I was a member. The Post Office did not like the orientation of the mailing label, so they would not deliver them. Full Turn Entertainment had to paste on new lables in the opposite direction to comply. The club folded shortly thereafter.

may if they'd, i dunno, cut that damn flap off the end that sits there as waste and make the envelopes smaller, they wouldnt have that problem. I never understood why they have a good extra 1/3 of a mailer that isn't neccessary.

We can always get out of our houses and drive to the nearest Blockbuster or Hollywood rentals...and actually see more of the daylight and get to be outside...just an opinion...

And be robbed by the price of a rental? I think not. What is Blockbuster up to now? $3.50? $4? I patently refuse to step foot in that store because of it.

Even if I hold onto a Netflix rental for a week at $9.53 (with tax) per month-also assuming one at a time-the price per DVD is still a full dollar less than BB.

Blockbuster (at least in my area) has a new pricing policy where everything (excluding new releases) is 99 cents, which sounds cheap but you only get it for one night. Then they charge you an additional 99 cents per every day you have it.

Talking about free markets...

Because Netflix has a vast library that BB & HV don't have.

. . . just an opinion.

Because they have the right to increase their prices at will (just as George Lucas has a right to modify his movies)...

The current problem with red Netflix mailers didn't have to happen. Before Netflix switched to the lighter, flimsy red envelopes, for many years they used a much tougher/thicker (stronger paper) and durable envelope. The color was plain (ivory) with black ink used for their name/address/logo design. Don't recall if the older envelopes had any issues with the P.O, but definitely the new envelopes are not very good, as I get many that are torn, and have opened to find 3-4 'cracked' discs during the last few years.
