    I signed up with Blockbuster instead. I get 1 movie at a time. Up to 2 a month. We live in Alaska, so we never get it overnight. BUT, instead of mailing it back, you can drop it off at a Blockbuster store and get 1 FREE movie.

    So, for $10, we get 2 movies mailed to us, and 2 free ones from the store.

    It took me a while to figure out that even though I get 1 movie at a time -- I only get 2 a month. So, if you've received 2 already that month, you'll wait a week or 2 before they mail the next one out to you.

    If you have Blockbuster in your area, it might be worth switching.

    We have Netflix at the 3 at a time price. As soon as they receive one back, they will automatically send the next one on your list. We like to try to send one back every 3 or 4 days so that we keep getting new movies every few days. On the two occasions that we got movies that we could not play for whatever reason they were very nice about it and were prompt at sending us another copy (free of charge, of course).

    My only minor complaint is that it takes a few days longer than they advertise to get your movies, but if you get a good rhythm going with turning them in seperately you should always have a movie or two to watch.

    I have Netflix two movies a month for $4.99. I LOVE it. It usually takes me at least a week to find the time to watch the movie, then another week to decide if I am going to watch it a second time or just send it back (usually don't have time to watch it a second time). The day after I put it in the mailbox they send me an e-mail saying they received it and are sending out the next movie in my queue. I haven't seen this many movies in years. I am so glad my neighbor suggested that I sign up for this.

    We had the two movies at at time, I can't remember how many a month though. It was fine, the service was fine. We stopped it because we just weren't watching the movies anymore. So it was becoming a waste of money for us.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I love Netflix! Wish I'd bought stock in the company when they started! Brilliant concept and exceptional customer service. I live in Northern California where the company is based so I get my movies pretty quickly. I'm on the two at a time plan. I'm considering going to three but I'm not sure I have the time. I think I pay $10 a month. I figure if I time it right I can see eight movies a month. I also LOVE their unlimited online viewing. I've been watching the whole Leave it To Beaver series You might want to look into it to fill in the void between movies.

    So far, I have Netflix 1 movie at a time. I think they're great. Twice, they never received the movie I mailed back (from a post office!) and they didn't charge me or anything. Due to my schedule, I don't mind waiting 2 or 3 days for the turnaround time.

    I love netflix! I have the three at a time, but once I'm done watching all the episodes of battlestar galatica I might drop down to two at a time. I get a quick turnaround, but they do have a center here in Tucson. I mailed a movie back today which means I will get a movie in on Wed. I get usually get around 3 movies a week, sometimes even more than that if I have a dvd marathon on one of my days off.

    Thanks for the great signature Kay!

    We have the 1-at-a-time version as well. We seem to get about 1 movie a week. We've been on it about 6 months, and my only complaint is that one time the post office messed up and we never got the movie they sent to us. In fact, we got the e-mail saying they were sending the movie out, then I think 4 or 5 days later, we got an e-mail saying they had received that movie back and were sending out the next one. We decided it wasn't worth the effort to complain, so I just put it in our queue again.

    I, also, had a trial with Blockbuster. Like the service a lot. I've considered switching and may just do that. All in all, Netflix isn't a bad service. I just wished it was a tad more frequent.
