Netflix Why!!!!

[Hendunesia]

So I go to check my Blu-Ray QUE today... and seen that they are shipping me the following two movies to arrive tomorrow:

Semi-Pro (HELL YEAH)
Weeds Season 3: DISC 2......

I cant watch Disc 2 before disc 1!

Kinda pissed.... I actually had Cloverfield infront of disc two but it is on very long wait....

This sucks.

[Pelican170]

Yea i got very long wait for cloverfield also. sucks, id be pissed about that disk 2! call them up, i bet you get a free rent or something..

[Siri]

It does suck, I'm sorry. I feel your pain though.That happened to me for Weeds Season 2 they sent me the second disc before the first

Just checked my Q and they are sending out Meet The Spartans and Home of the Brave. I wanted The Eye and There Will Be Blood which are both at the top of my list, have been for awhile and now they are convienently on Short or Long wait. I can have four out at a time and now i have to find someting else to rent ...Im heading out later to pick up Cloverfield

[u_nick]

Yeah, thats why i try to veer away from the TV shows on Netflix.

RentAnime.com has a great option/checkbox that tells it to only ship you series in order, and if they cant right away, they'll skip to the next item/series in your queue. I emailed Netflix CS about it once, but dont remember if I heard back from them or not.

[Hendunesia]

I called their support line... took literally 45 seconds. They cant stop the movie from shipping, but they are pushing out my next movie right away and I just have to ship Weeds disc right away when I get it..

Awesome..

Apparently their service does work to where it doesn't break up a series like this, but because I actually placed Cloverfield in between it doesn't work...

Werid...

Maybe I will get lucky and they will send me There will be Blood or Cloverfield now....

so true.the only time i get a season on my list is getting at least the first 5 on my queue to the top right away.

[blackhawktraffic]

That sucks, never happened to me before with any TV shows, guess I got lucky.

This sucks.

I don't keep the TV disc from a season grouped together in my queue for that very reason. I only move the one that I need to watch to the top, and keep the next ones down towards the bottom. Then the day I sent the disc back, I move the next one to the top...

[Hendunesia]

Actually the system is designed to not break up a Series.... but when you yourself break them up in the QUE it wont ship that way.

I had moved Cloverfield between since I was afraid of it happening, thats what got me.

[Marine Mike]

Same thing happened to me when I rented Sex and the City, it was really disappointing.

[swindler]

Why don't you just abstain from putting season two in your queue until you've received season one?

Hi, Netflix is on another line right now, so I'll answer it:

They ship what's available. And very few people rent Disc 2's right away.
(Most of them prefer to rent Disc 1's, which makes them less available.)

If you think Disk 1's going to show up, hold onto #2 for a while--That'll save time.
To avoid the problem in the future, however, don't put your entire block of boxset disks at the top: Keep them in a different place for reference (like the bottom of the list), and move #1's to the top of the queue when needed/ready.

[haste]

thats why i only have disc 1 in my queue...

[bhampton]

Hey,

Netflix is shipping me disc 2 for tomorrow as well..

It's sort of my fault. I could have just left disc 1 in the que till I was ready for disc 2. However, Weeds Season 3 is the only thing in my que. I can't think of anything else I want to watch. So... they are just waiting on me to add movies to my que there's nothing in there.

..... I have to go browse and see if I spot something I like. I hardly ever rent DVD anymore so there's less to choose from.

Why? To try it out and things went smoothly in the beginning. They are no longer getting my bucks because of long waits, shipping titles cross country, scratched discs, etc.etc.

Thats what I do to avoid this situation.

[Hendunesia]

I've learned my lesson for next time.

But their customer service was great and they sent me out the next available disc in my QUE right away.

[Hendunesia]

AMAZING!

So I called support... and they told me they couldn't stop the shipment of Weeds disc 2..... but they would ship out my next movie right away.... That movie is Cloverfield.... the movie I had ahead of Weeds disc 2 in the first place...

WTF....
