I was just wondering if any here has used NetFlix. If you havent heard of it, You pay $20 a month they let you rent what ever DVDs you want they send them to you and then you send that back.
Are there alot of hidden fees kinda things? S/H? more than normal?
You make a list at sign up, Do you have to rent and pay for so many after your list is over?

It is worth the fee. I have it and enjoy it. It could be better, but I'll live with the little annoyances for the service that they offer at the price that they do. Of course, I still owe Blockbuster around $700.

Little things basically. You make a list of movies that you want to recieve and Netflix sends you any 3 of those movies. Also, be careful with how you open the package it comes in. Every time so far I have ripped the return envelope. | |

I tried the demo and it was great! If you rent a lot of movies it is definitely worth it. There is no shipping and handling. They mail them in regular envelopes so I think they only pay .32 to .55 cents and they give you a prepaid return envelope. Sometimes you have to wait for movies but only a few days. It is way better than paying 4.50 a pop at blockbuster and having to drive back and forth to get them and return them. Plus no late fees with Netflix! Keep them as long as you want.
Hope that helped Double check their rules I used them about 4 months ago. They might have changed policy but I doubt it. | |

I was one of the early Netflix subscribers. Quit over a year ago...
Long turn around times (I live on the east coast)
Often slow access to new releases
Subscribers on the west coast often are happier with the service. | |

Yeah. I was getting them quickly in Dallas. It really depends on your mail service I guess. | |
