A Tale of Two Envelopes: Netflix & Blockbuster

[willghass]

I like Netflix. It drives me nuts that streaming can't be done on the Droid 2 though.

[cairog74]

Is it just me or does NETFLIX need to redesign their envelopes to cut down on waste?

[tjf00ls]

@cairog74 is it just me or do i not give a shit?fuck waste ill be dead before anything really happens bahahahahahahahah

[mardfet]

Theres just something satisfying about opening a mailbox and seeing that bright red envelope :) I've been a member of Netflix for like, six years!

One thing to consider is the fact that Blockbuster prints the game or DVD Label on the outside of the envelope, almost a guarantee the game will get lost in the mail. Great way for Blockbuster to lose money.

[rickthetick00]

who is this guy?

[RedWingsFan2010]

netflix.. .wow!! done watching a movie.. mail it back..

blockbuster Envelope take it to the store.. and get a free movie while you wait for your next movie in the mail... ahhh yeah..blockbuster is better then netsux

[RedWingsFan2010]

@ClippersChica bad service?? maybe cause your a dick..and dont listen to them when there trying explain something to you.. dumb fuck.

[ClippersChica77]

@RedWingsFan2010

HAHAHA! Steelers rule! Geez, lighten up. FYI, I am not a dick I am THEE DICK and F*** the Red Wings and F*** Blockbuster. Thanks for the laugh.

[RedWingsFan2010]

Netflix Sucks..

[vincentx915]

I dont care about what jams in a sorter machine or why.

The important question is, who is more affordable, Netflix or Blockbuster?

[ianator99]

@vincentx915 netflix def

[thethird3d]

Wow... A video about envelopes....

[ovance35]

yawn!

[stringfellowhawke247]

Netflix is good for DVD's but not Blu Ray's I gave up after receiving 5 cracked Blu Ray discs in a row and it's because of the envelopes and USPS. There's many, many complaints all over the net about the cracked Blu Rays, but they keep the same shipping envelopes.

[ReneAlanisJr]

I love how Blockbuster copied Netflix with mailing DVD rentals.

If you're planning on signing up for a movie rental service, choose Netflix. At least they never fucked you up with late fees.

[DJBRISK1]

How do you send netflix movies back?

[bilsrylos]

put them in a mailbox

[CelebFanatic91]

put it back in the envelope it came in then send it back

[utahjazz07]

carefully

[Princess124]

put in the envelope they cam in, seal it up and put them in your mailbox or take them to the postal office

[hostilityy]

FUCK YOUR ENVELOPE.

[PaProbie]

Who cares about the size of the envelope?? Netflix is THE BEST video rental service out there by FAR!

[darkalligator]

yeah, even when they start sending the movies late, it is very cheap. I have the 3 disc at a time and with the money i spend in a movie at a cinema i can get a lot.

[terk0iz]

Mail sorters care because Netflix envelops are a pain in the ass to sort. That's the point of this video.

[epinky2295]

ya..... 14 bucks for 2 dvd's out at a time to copy and keep forever (the copy duh!!!) is a GREAT deal

[josh198869]

@PaProbie its not the best video rental service by far now they are going to charge everyone 7.99 a month for 1 dvd and 7.99 a month for streeming videos what a damn rip off

[FoamyFan35]

I don't really care about the envelopes, all I care about is that I get my DVDs in a timely manner and they are playable. Netflix is the best out there from my experience.

[kingsam978]

Netflix Is The Best

[Yankeesx06]

Netflix usually ship the movies right away, and Blockbuster take 2-3 days to ship movies.

[arni0202]

blockbuster doesn't compare to Netflix. I only had them because I could exchange them immediately but now you're limited to 5 a month lol. unless you want unlimited exchanges for $35! Netflix customer service is great too. Call and you talk to a real person in about 15 seconds. I've had 1 cracked blu ray disc out of about 20+

[callmetw]

Blockbuster now officially sucks!! In the past they have raised the price of this service without any notice. Now they count your in store exchange as part of your queue. Meaning, If you exchange the movie that they mailed to you in the store, You will not receive the next movie from your online queue until you return that movie to the store. Now there is NO reason to even subscribe to this service since you have to make double the number of trips to the store. Final straw for me. Cancelled!!

[JoeNostalgiaReturns]

Yeah after that, it was just unacceptable.

I cancelled and moved to Netflix.

FAR BETTER.

They come much faster and their selection seems wider...

My queue on Blockbuster was like 87 movies...

On Netflix I have 487... plus I get instant streaming!

[Princess124]

yes I have the 16.00 a month deal and I am loving it so much!!

[fluidambient]

I think Netflix needs to shorten the length of the envelope from the area where Netflix's address is to the stamp area. The envelope only needs to be slightly larger than the size of the dvd that it holds so why is the envelope so big? Doesn't make sense.

[XxToMsGiRL182xX]

Blockbuster online you can go inside the store and trade for a movie right away or mail it.

[limpnjen]

Blockbuster's envelopes may win but their overall service doesn't, I guess it's good to have at least one positive on your side though.

[joecrumb1]

If you love Blu-Ray you'll hate Netflix. Their enveolpes don't protect the easily cracked BD disc(Check Mars Box website).

Is Netflix trying to solve problem? not according to customer service.

[wizardfan0]

well i dont care about a mail sorting machine b/c i dont work at a post office...but if you subscribe to both... you must be ripping the hell out of dvds...(i personally subscribe to netflix)

[4321Blastoff]

You subscibe to both? Wow, that's livin'. I has a Blockbuster trial when they were starting and they had super minimal choices of rental compared to Netflix.
