netflix users - has the "nearest" branch changed on the envelope?

[Deja Q]

Used to be MN, I'm getting envelopes with return addresses in CA or NJ.

:wtf:

1. Some of the more obscure titles I get have odd return addresses.

But if it was pretty mainstream, it comes from the Denver center.

2. Yes. You are getting throttled.

They are doing it to intentionally slow down the time you take to view and return movies. The most outrageous example for me was getting one from Washington State, two time zones away. Their commercials lie.

3. Which is funny. It took me three WEEKS to get through 8 hours, 2 discs'

worth of an overrated tv show.

I will be writing them.

4. We have one here in Oklahoma City...

We have no problems getting anything.

5. Here's a hint

Put two movies in one envelope that goes to your nearest shipping center.

6. I have done tthat often. I've also just reduced my queue list 90%.

If they don't see the hint, I will cancel and explain it to them.

It'd be cheaper to buy the actual season sets outright and hope I don't like them. Either way, it's still ~$25/mo and I can recoup on some losses by selling the release on the market or used bookstore.

Net price: $17 month. Same as netflix for what now amounts to the same period of time I'd get discs in that 4 week period.
