Problems with Netflix

netflix is the better of the two online chains and that is not saying much...the only reason to keep netflix is for there large selections as JaguarGod mentioned.


don't know if this has been posted yet....http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/02/10/netflix.penalty.ap/


this guy pretty much speaks for what is wrong with netflix.

the good old days are over!!

 

@DVDBack23,

That is a pretty good way to get the three you want, but I imagine that they may still do some stupid things like "lose a movie in the mail", or send you the wrong title.

Probably the only way to get good service is for some hacker to get into their system and put a virus that disables their throttling software (basically remove the secret renting limit).

I think what they try to do is get $2 per rental. That is not that bad of a deal, but waiting 1 week for movie that you want to see is not that much fun.

 

And we all shall rise and rent new films for an old one's price.
So it has been fortold in the prophecy and so it shall be.

 

good link JMG i see now that iam not the only person that had problems with slowing down shipments ,i talked to netflix on the pnone several times and they swear its the post office fault i told them BULLSHIT straight out and then said its not worth the headache to have your service ,they even offered me a free month and i said screw it dude iam OUT !!!! ,if you guys have other online links to rent from post them .i sent this thread to netflix BTW lol .and heres netflix phone number if anyone wants to call and bitch about there poor service 1-888-683-3549 ,they DONT post this on there website either humm wonder why.

 

Listen Everyone. (My English Is A Little). Anyway .. I am Netflix Member Since Almost 2 Years. They Are and Still The Number One Online Rental. Yes ... In The Last Month They Have A Little Problem Because They Have Many , Many more Customers. I make A Blockbuster membership And They Is Super Extra Bad. Blockbuster have bad inventary and almost all movies is long wait or short whait. I recive the movies one month later. When i return the movies .. they say never recive and charge me for the three movies.Three weeks later they recive and Refund my money.Bad experience with blockbuster. With The GameFly.com Almost The Same Situation. Maybe Netflix Have a little problems now but Still the number ones. ever the movies come to me in 2 , 3 or 4 days max and remember i am member since almost 2 years and I am from Puerto Rico. Thanks !!

 

maybe the service is better down there than in the states ,bottom line if your turning around to many dvds its a problem to them becuse they arent making any money from your account. and its not worth the headache to me to get that poor of service so i dumped them !!!!

 

If there were a better alternative I'd love to hear of one. Unfortunately Netflix has the most bang for your buck right now.

 

Netflix will run its course and something will come along better sooner or later its just a matter of time . if a company would come along and be honest a say we cant let you turn around 25 dvds a month for a certian price ,but we can at this price i would do it, its all about a company being honest and doing the right thing not being sneaky about it after you been with them for several months. so stick it netflix where the sun dont shine

 

According to their site, this one is honest:

However, they say 8 movies a month for $16.95. Not the best deal, but at least they seem honest.

 

looks good JaguarGod 55,000 titles ,mature titles lol hummm maybe i will try it ,thanks

heres another site to check out also

Those prices for those are kind of..well expensive, but its worth it if they do send you movies quickly and you can see 20-30 movies a month. Has anybody tried any of these companies out, and if so, what are they like?

 

Does anyone know if you can cancel your subscription on a Saturday? I know they won't mail anything, but is there staff on hand to cancel you?

Thanks

 

yes you can cancel anytime , you will have like 7 days to mail back the dvds you have out when you cancel. just cancel the day before there going to charge you for the next month. and you dont have to call just cancel online in your account. easy as that ,screw netflix

 

Thanks for the info

 

so netflix is sueing blockbuster now thats a load of crap, what idiots!!!!!!

 

Guy in my office said today that Netflix was sueing because BB ripped off their "dvds by mail" concept. Guess they should have include Wally World in the suit also.

 

I thought you did not have rights to ideas like this...Isn't this something like Tetris, where making a game with falling blocks is allowed as long as it does not have "tris" anywhere in the name (i.e. no one can own the rights to falling blocks in a game, but someone owns the rights to use "tris" in a game of this nature)??

If this is the case, Netflix is only losing money by doing this, so this means more throttling for their members!!

 

yeah the law suit will go nowhere with BB and i also read netflix has a class action law suit against them for "throttling" which they pretty much admit they do. why cant they just have two different price points for there service ,one for a limit of say 12 movies for the 17.99 price then unlimited movies for say 24.99 a month ,i pay it
