NETFLIX NO BARGAIN
July 27th 2010 15:24
As Netflix steadily Walmarted the mom & pop corner
video rental store out of existence, the quality of their
service is on a pronounced downhill course.
While Netflix's minimum monthly fee is affordable,
the caveat is: one must rely upon the nuances of
the U.S. Postal Service's delivery ability. The
minimum turn-around time from receipt of one DVD
to receipt of the next selection is three days.
The major problem with Netflix's DVDs are they are
handled by far too many people and it seems, not cleaned
between mailings.
In my two year experience with this outfit, about 90 percent
of the DVDs they have sent me have skipped or froze during
play on more than one of my machines. Of course, I've made
it a habit to clean each new arrival before playing, but many
times that doesn't help.
I recently returned one (that I was looking forward to watching)
because it won't play past the first few scenes.
So it's bye-bye Netflix. "It's over between us baby!"
