Online DVD Rental By Mail 100 Newest Movies at Netflix
At first, before I tried it, I was skeptical about online movie rentals by mail. Would I be able to rent the movie I wanted when I wanted it?
I have an interest in a wide range of movies. I particularly like comedies, action adventure, and science fiction movies. Would Netflix have the newest and best movies? I decided to give it a try -- after all the first two weeks are free. At the very least, I'd be able to watch a couple of movies.
So, I tried it
I was pleasantly surprised! It's very easy to find the movies I like, add them to my list, and receive them in the mail a couple of days later. If I get busy and can't return the movie in a day or two, no problem. I kept one movie out for over a month without returning it and there was no late fee. This is great for someone like me.
While I like going to the movies, there are lots of times that I'm working on building websites and much of my time is spent waiting for the computer to upload or download files. I've been very happy with renting dvds online by mail and having a couple on hand most of the time. Now, when I'm working in the middle of the night, I can watch a great movie and work on my websites at the same time. It really fits my lifestyle and work schedule.
I've been a very satisfied Netflix.com member since early 2004 and I recommend them highly. I love being able to set up a list of movies to rent and then not worry about it. They send the DVDs to me by mail. I watch them and keep each one as long as I want. Then I return it. When they receive the movie, they send me the next one in my queue. No late fees. No deadlines. No rushing to return a movie that I haven't had time to see -- or which I want to see again. They even pay the postage -- both ways.
Yes, there have been a couple of problems. I've gotten a movie now and then that was scratched. I received two that were broken. No problem. I just went to the website, notified them that the DVDs were damaged, and returned them. A couple of days later, I had replacement discs in my mailbox. It couldn't be easier.
