    Renting DVDs on line????

    Hello All,

    We use Blockbuster on line in the Philly area. When we first joined DVDs was shipped within a day or two. Now it takes 3 or 4 days to get a film. Is this happening to anyone else?

      Don't know 'cause I don't rent on-line. I like to browse. Others here, though, go the on-line route so maybe they'll chime in.

          Did you rent and return A LOT of movies? Blockbuster may be throttling rentals now like netflix does.

              Yes, throttling is quite the discussion topic and issue for many renters now.

              I'm not having any problems with Netflix. I return one, they get it the next day, ship it out the same day, and I get it the next day. So I get a new one 2 days after I drop one in the mail. :T

              Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

                  Yes,

                  We are notorious for renting & returning. For $20 a month we rent around 10 films a month.

                      Ok, how are these 3 related? I've recently heard that studios with increased production costs for big budget films, and increased payrolls for high priced actors, increased cut for theaters (overdue), don't even plan on films being profitable at the box office. They depend on DVD, and other media...

                      Blockbuster is aggravating me again
                      by George Bellefontaine
                      No, it's not because they sometimes only have full screen rather than widescreen. This time it's about making renting dvds more time consuming for me.

                      It's this way. They used to have the dvd rental section separate from the vhs. That way I could quickly scan the new releases, etc., and...

                      by Andrew Pratt
                      YET EVEN as DVD surges, it is on a different economic path than video, and one that is fraught with dangerous unknowns.
                      Where video enriched Hollywood through rental fees and sales, the hottest action in DVD right now is in sales. Chains like Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Target Corp. and Best...

                      by Chris D
                      I checked, and didn't really see any other threads that had a good discussion of these services, so I thought I'd start one for everybody to chime in.

                      For a while, now, I have NOT signed up with DVD rental companies, primarily for the reason that as I travel a lot with my job, I didn't...

                      Blockbuster vs. Netflix for Blu-ray rental?
                      by maseline_98
                      We currently have blockbuster. I like the service because we are able to exchange them in the store. The problem is that our closest store is closing this Sunday. When renting through the mail, the blu-rays(at least new releases) seem to take much longer to get than we would like(usually with a 'very...
