Out of my last seven rentals, one got totally lost in the mail (although I blame the post office and not Netflix for this) and two were in such rotten condition that they were totally unwatchable (constant picture distortion/pixellation, picture freezing, skipping). People must use their Netflix DVDs for coffee-table coasters or something. I've already made it a policy to clean with Windex every DVD that arrives, first thing, as soon as I take it out of the envelope. And it's not at all surprising that some postal workers might be tempted to help themselves. I wonder how many discs, and how much money, Netflix is losing because of that. I don't guess there's much they can do about it. I’ve been having unusually bad luck with Netflix all of a sudden.

Apparently in their algorythm I rent more than is profitable for them, and that too many equals less than 8 a month. Not fair. And to add to the fun, now post office workers are in the mix: http://newyorkmetro.com/news/intelligencer/15961/index.html I’ve been complaining about the inexplicable lag times in getting my movies for awhile now.

I assume they won't care, but I'm going to complain. I use netflix a lot more than you do and I’m not at all happy to read this. I assume they won’t care, but I’m going to complain.
