This looks like NETFLIX BS to me!!! - Blu-ray Forum

My queue has been like this for a couple days now...I think they have me coded as a high volume user and are holding back movies from me. Anyone else seen a big time slow down in movies?

Im in north alabama btw.

A hint for you...keep just two or three movies in your queue and they will always mail them promptly.

really? even if they are very long wait?

Ashamed Pegasus · 02-04-2010, 11:26 PM

I think movie availability depends on your shipping location... The warehouse that fulfills your orders is probably not very well stocked...

JimShaw · 02-04-2010, 11:26 PM

Even when I have one or two, I am sent nothing.

I waited 2 1/2 months for Night at the Museum 2. I finally got tired and bought it two days ago and watched today. I should have waited for Netflix, I would have saved money. BUT 2 1/2 months????? I am thinking about canceling.

I have been using Netflix for a couple of years now, and I do have to admit that the wait time for new releases is pretty terrible. To offset this problem I keep a whole bunch of movies and TV shows in my queue that have no wait times below all the ones that do. If a movie is not available it just skips over that one (or those) and ships the next available one.
It looks like all the movies in your queue have a wait time, and that is why they are not shipping any to you.

I have to time mine, I send out Sat for perfect timing for Tues new releases. but if i get off schedule i have to wait weeks, and weeks

atomik kinder · 02-05-2010, 12:27 AM

Many times I have stuff at the top of my queue that says very long wait, but sure enough, it is the next thing that goes out when I return something. I do the one at a time. The last movie I received said very long wait the movie below it said long wait and the movie in the 3rd spot said now. Guess which one I was sent. The one that said Very Long Wait. I haven't really had to wait too long on anything.

Itputdallotion0n · 02-05-2010, 12:40 AM

Yea if you time for tuesday you ussually get a new release. Other then that if its listed as available its a 3 day turn around always. Day 1 i ship, day 2 they recieve and ship back, day 3 i watch

I stopped doing Netflix a few years ago because I got tired of their games. Now when I want to rent a movie I do it through my Vudu box. I get it instantly. No waiting for a movie to come in the mail. No bad discs. No going to the video store and best of all no monthly fee. I pay as I go.

How many movies do you go through in a month? When I hit twenty it seems to slow down.

kurtis21 · 02-05-2010, 01:30 AM

Netflix BLOWS!!!! I was a member for 3 months and never got the movies that i wanted! And when they DID send me a Blu-ray...it was F'n cracked and didn't play!!

20-25

and when i called customer service to complain they just said that they are all new releases and in high demand...i understand that but its still BS. They send the brand new stuff to the customer who get under 10 a month.

someone just said rent old tv shows and whatnot but ive done that! lol ive seen all the old movies that i wanted to see. tv shows too

extremely rare.

I've watched several, maybe even a lot of Blu-rays from netflix and all of them looked brand new, except for a light film leftover from some sort of "wipe" that they use.

assydingo · 02-05-2010, 02:22 AM

Kind of on a side note, just watched A Perfect Getaway last night. Better than I expected and definitely worth renting.

Blu-ray Fanatic · 02-05-2010, 02:23 AM

When I had a membership with Netflix, the new release movies at the top of my queue always shipped on time and arrived in mint condition. I guess it depends what area you're living in.

Beast · 02-05-2010, 02:24 AM

I haven't had much problem with Netflix at all. Sure there's a long wait for New Releases. But at least it gives me a chance to get caught up on movies I have missed cause I didn't feel like buying. $13.99 a month for 2 out at a time and streaming is great for me. I have watched a ton of stuff via streaming over the PS3. And while I'm not one who likes to maximize the number of rentals I get a month, I think I do ok.

1/4 - 1/8: Drag Me To Hell + Twilight
1/8 - 1/15: G-Force + Haunting In Conneticut
1/15 - 1/20: 9 + Captivity
1/20 - 1/26: The Island + Taken
1/26 - 2/02: Burrowers + The Wrestler
2/02 - 0/00: City Of Embers + The Last House On The Left (09)
