Is Netflix worth it?

RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Sheila (Guest Post) (09/10/2008) Hi: I've been using it a while. I only take out 2 movies a month - they come when they are supposed to, let you know when that is and are efficient. I do not see any reason to get more than 2 per month. Library has free movies, etc. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Bonnie Baker (Guest Post) (07/16/2008) I pay $9.48 a month to have one movie at a time. I always receive another DVD within 2-3 days. Service has been great. I downloaded a couple movies to my computer to watch also. It is worth it. Easy to find what you want.

Instead of mailing the movies back you can exchange them at the store for a new movie. Report Spam or Abuse Netflix cancellation is it legal? Post By dg (Guest Post) (01/24/2008) Due to a very slow service I canceled my subscription with Netflix and I had two weeks left of my payment. Netflix stopped sending me anything for the rest of the time which I paid for. I wonder if that is legal or netflix is another company that has things written in small lines that we take for granted. one thing I know, I had the right to get movies in que till the end of the period I paid for. for that reason I would never consider netflix again.

We are also on the 3 a month plan, which usually boils down to 1 for a movie night, 1 for the kids and one for the adults. It saves me a lot not only in rentals and late fees but also those impulse buys at the store when a new kids movie comes out. Now I can get itpretty much as soon as I know it is out, keep it until the kids are sick of it and send it back. I have never not gotten my top movie right away and have never waited more than the mailing time to get my new movie. My husband and I have been watching all the CSI episodes in order, usually two or three a night after the kids go to bed. They have pretty much any movie or TV show that has been released out on DVD. I pay $17.99 for three a month, I think you could go down to $14.99 for 2 a month but I figure it was worth the extra 3 bucks. You can now watch movies on your computer. I can't because they don't support Mac, but most people seem to really love this. The biggest downfall is not getting them in the mail. I'm always seeing the mailtruck drive past and realizing that I didn't walk it out there yet! As a comparison, I recently HAD to watch all the Heroes episodes in order because I wanted to know what was going on. I got the first 3 from Netflix and watched them as fast as possible. I wound up renting 2 from the video store because I was really wanting to watch them over a weekend. And, of course, I was a day late in returning those back. It wound up costing me more than my entire month of Netflix for that one weekend of rental. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Sara (Guest Post) (10/25/2007) I've had Netflix for almost 4 years now and I love it. I am on the 3-at-a-time plan, which is $17.99 per month. I live in Seattle and my movies never take more than two days to reach me. When I lived in D.C., same deal, very quick service. In the hundreds of titles I've gotten, there was only a problem with one of them! I like the online "Friends" features, you can see what your pals are renting! I love how they have tons of TV series available, and the new release turnover is impressive. The only thing you need to ask yourself is, how many movies will I watch? If you're not a movie buff, it's probably not worth it...but if you're like me and watch at least two, sometimes three, per week, it's for you! Highly recommended!

Post By Fisher (Guest Post) (01/09/2007) Surprised by the bad reviews. Netflix has been really great for me the last year. The turnaround is very quick and new releases have been rarely or barely delayed. It's also really easy to increase or decrease how many rentals you want, even mid-month. I am in Washington state. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Kim (Guest Post) (01/08/2007) It used to be, but now it is very frustrating. We have been Netflix members for 3 years and for the first 2 years it was great. This last year, service has gone down significantly. We used to get movies in 2-3 days, but now it often takes a week a longer. While we are paying for unlimited movies, we can't get more than about 9 per month because of Netflix delays. And it you want to give feedback to them, forget it. They have no means that I can find of providing direct feedback to them. Does anyone know of a good service for renting and downloading movies? I'm ready to drop Netflix. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Yogi (Guest Post) (11/03/2006) Been using netflix for 3 months... ITS DREADFUL... I been trying to contact customer service since last month since movies are always delayed and they keep changing locations.. sometime movies shipping from New york, sometime from boston... I am in CA and its HORRIBLE SERVICE. I dont reccomend it at all. THEY JUST DONT CARE. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Jay (Guest Post) (10/23/2006) Yes, but you can make it even more affordable. Nexflix make is easy to open and close your account (some money always beats none) I use it four months out of the year: March, June, September and December. 3, 6, 9 and 12 are easy to remember and allow enough time for new releases to build. You get to watch whatever you want for a less than $80 per year. Go Netflix! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Laura (Guest Post) (07/17/2006) I just signed up for Netflix and I really like it. My brother has been using Netflix for a few months and he loves it. They have the movies he really likes, and he has specific tastes. They arrive promptly, and Netflix has saved our family time and money! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post by ThriftyFun (3740) | (03/22/2006) Profile | Blog! | Contact We've had really good service with Netflix. The movies arrive on time and new releases are usually quickly available. It might depend on the reliability of your mail service. I don't know where "Hate It" lives but possibly your movies are being stolen before they get to you. Susan from ThriftyFun Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Hate it (Guest Post) (03/22/2006) The service is really slow and not at all worth spending the money. I don't receive any movies for weeks. I hate it and am just going to cancel it. The DVDs never arrive on the estimated days and they keep getting misplaced. They don't send the DVDs when they say they would. It's all fake. Do not trust them. I HATE NETFLIX. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post by NicksWife2004 (1) | (12/24/2005) Contact My husband and I have been using Netflix for a few months. We rent movies quite often, and becuase we live in a small town, we don't have access to places like Hollywood Video, Blockbuster, or Walmart (not within a reasonable distance) so Netflix is awesome. Netflix has plans as low as 9.95 a month, to have one movie out at a time. We were spending over 40 dollars a month before renting movies from our local movie rental place (they didn't have any plans like Netflix offers) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Sharon (Guest Post) (01/28/2005) Netflix is great, fast and economical. Their price has gone down to $17.99 per month for the three- movie plan. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Ladyvmh (Guest Post) (04/16/2004) Blockbuster has a plan too. I have the one that is about $30 a month. I can go in and get 3 movies at a time. No time limit on when I need to return them. If I watch all 3 of them the same day I can take them back and get 3 more. I like it because I don't have to wait for them to be mailed. You can go at the last minute if you decide you want to watch a movie. You might want to check it out if you have a Blockbuster near you. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Karen (Guest Post) (04/08/2004) I have been a member of Netflix for about 2 years. Love it. But, did you know that Walmart has about the same thing but cheaper? With Walmart you can have 2 movies for $15.54. 3 movies for $18.76 or 4 movies for $21.94. Walmart has a huge selection . All you have to do is go to walmart.com and look for DVD Rentals. I also use the Walmart internet connection because it is cheaper than anyone else around here. It is only $9.95 per month. I have used AOL and the others and I kept getting kicked off line all the time. I have used Walmart for 2 years and have never been kicked off. Just thought that I would throw that little tidbit in the ring. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By MsButterfly770 (Guest Post) (04/06/2004) We tried it and liked it. Only we had a hard time getting 3 movies watched in a weeks time to get the most for our $20. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post by pstiff48 (4) | (04/06/2004) Contact Yes, but it turned out to be a little overwhelming for my family. We switched to there economy version which is cheaper and you get 4 movies per month and can have 2 out at a time. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Lynn from Oregon (Guest Post) (04/06/2004) We joined Netflix in October and love it. The service is unbelievably fast--about one day or two--and we can preorder as many movies as we like, but they only send up to three at a time. As soon as one movie comes back, another is sent. We find that the savings in gas and wear and tear on the car adds a lot to the savings. Also, we never make useless trips to the video store for a movie that is never in or wait in line forever. You can keep a movie as long as you like with no late fees. I'm not affiliated with Netflix at all, just a happy customer. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Maria (Guest Post) (03/31/2004) Netflix is great, especially if you watch a lot of movies. (It also has TV series like Star Trek: The Next Generation, British Comedies.) Fast. Easy. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Is Netflix worth it? Post By Jay (Guest Post) (03/31/2004) I have to say that I really enjoy Netflix. I have the basic membership so I get 3 movies out at a time. It has really been wonderful for me and my husband because we have 2 small children and it is hard to find a sitter so we can get out to see a movie (plus it is so expensive!). We used to go to Hollywood video and would hope to get new releases if they weren't all checked out and then it was hard to return them on time with so much to do during the week. Through Netflix we keep them as long or short as we want and then pop them in the mail when we are done. Right now it takes about 2 days for Netflix to receive the movies back in the mail and then 2 days for us to get them back. But when we used to live within the Houston city limits they would actually get the movies back in one day and return them to me in 1 day. It was fabulous! Oh, and you can time sending back a movie to insure that a new release that you want to see gets mailed to you the day it comes out. We pretty much have it down to where we get new releases without waiting for them to come available which can happen if the movie is really popular and everyone is waiting to see it. If you don't get it in the first day you may have to wait up to a week or more for a copy to become available. That is probably the only down side. We more than get our money's worth. Hope this is helpful to you. Report Spam or Abuse
