Netflix DVD's are taking 2-4 days - What have you noticed?

[mysteryowl]

I subscribe to the DVD's on occasion for one month to catch up on the new movies.
It used to take 1-2 day's for the turnaround. The mail is definitely slower.

What have you noticed?

1. Actually, not bad time

coming all the way from 2007.

[mysteryowl]

2. I'm smiling, but I don't get it.

"2007" ? huh?

[Miguelito Loveless]

3. DVDs are SOOOOOO 2007

Yeah, I know, not everyone streams, but it was an irresistible.

[mysteryowl]

6. OK! I get it!

I stream too, but you can't get everything on streaming.

[Miguelito Loveless]

8. And I should talk,

I literally have a 1957 Western Electric pay phone as an extension for my land line.

11. Ha!

That tops it!

I have a working VCR player!

17. I got you beat!

Working record player!

19. I top all of you, I have all of these devices, in multiples. Ha, I keep to play old videos, old...

records, etc. Ha ha heh...I even have an audio cassette player still around, to play some of my old music. If nothing is wrong w/ the device(s) and recordings, why not?

[mysteryowl]

20. Ha!

I have a cassette tape recorder with corded mic, and cassette tapes!

[SWBTATTReg]

22. Ha ha heh...I love it, love it!!

[mysteryowl]

23. I think I will go record something!

4. Made me smile.

5. I didn't know this was still a thing, but google says it is.

[mysteryowl]

9. Honestly!

I don't understand. DVD's are great. You get the extra's with how the movie was made and backstory. Also, you get new movies.
Where else can you get all that?

[cayugafalls]

7. They still snail mail DVD's? ;-)

Just kidding...

I only have the streaming service and gave up on DVD's from them when they raised the prices.

[mysteryowl]

10. I only do it on occasion for one month.

If you wait long enough, you get a free 30-day trial.

[El Supremo]

12. Yes, it is taking 2 extra days...

than it did last year. I don't know why but suspect it mostly is due to DVD.com (their new name).

I still use it because there are many times more titles available. But unfortunately, I have three in my queue who's availability are unknown.

[mysteryowl]

13. Thank you, you are the only one, so far, that has answered their experience.

I did not know of the new name.

Yes, I have a few in unavailable queue as well. In that case, I can try RedBox.

[Big Blue Marble]

14. Yes, it now takes four to five days.

Yes, I still use DVD's. There are many films that are only available on DVD.
Foreign films, for example. Saturday watched a good French film: The Guardians.
Most new releases are available within several months as well as older films to rewatch.

I stream from Netflix and Amazon Prime as well. But the DVD's definitely give us more choice.
Do not be intimated by those trying to shame us.

15. Solidarity!!!!

[Fiendish Thingy]

16. Netflix still does DVD's? Nt

[SWBTATTReg]

18. I'm online and get Netflix directly online instead of the DVDs (I used to). Never regretted switch-

ing over, I recommend to you that you switch over. My fee is only $7.99 monthly. Been getting for years.

And no one is trying to 'shame you'. I saw this remark in one of the posts...

[mysteryowl]

21. No, you are talking about streaming.

DVD's have more options than you can find on streaming.
