just wondering what the turn around time is between the time you send your movies back to them to the point you receive more to your door and is it worth what you are paying monthly? granted being in hawaii

If you drop a movie in the mail on Monday, you will have a new one in the mail on Wednesday. It's definitely worth $$$.

well i just signed up for it last night. I put my movie request in and i got an e-mail saying that the first two arrive on thursday but realistically i think it will be on friday. I'll see how it works out I signed up for the 14.99 a month unlimited movies. I figure with gas prices up this will save the trips to block busters and going to the movies. I'll keep you guys posted...

I've been using netflix for around a year now and I just cancelled my membership last week. It's a pretty good deal and all, but after you receive a dozen or so broken discs, it starts getting a little old. Now I use the "RED BOX" at our local McDonalds locations!! It costs a single dollar for each rental, and it's pretty damn convenient too. Not as convenient as getting them in the mail, but more convenient than waiting for a replacement because your copy was screwed when you got it. Good luck to all of you using the Mailorder programs, I know I enjoyed them for a while, but I like this program a little more.

UPDATE!!!!

Like mentioned above I signed up on the 25th of this month and as scheduled I received my movies on the date of delivery which is today the 27th. After further reading on the website and observing the packaging it came in the dvd's are sent first class to and from my residence and to make things even better for us hawaii folks they DO have a distributor here in Hawaii.

You will get your movies on the day they tell you because they just recently put a distributor here on Oahu.

like the 1st post said put it in the Monday ussually get by Wendesday, there are some cases with rarer DVD's that take a week to a week and half to get, depending on the wait time they might skip that DVD and go the next on queue it was done a couple of time. Netlfix DVD's are sent back to a Hawaii address

there's a ew site intelliflix.com that combines videogames and DVD's into one rental package, they have 50% off special right now, not too sure about the turn around time as I do not think they have a hub in Hawaii, for a little extra you can also rent their colection of ****

I've been a Netflix subscriber since late 1999 and haven't recieved a single damaged disc. Maybe monkeys with sledge hammers work in your post office sorting room or something.
