Netflix

“Does anyone else have it or use it? Ive had it for about a year, and it is a great service...but there is one movie that I returned about 4 or 5 days ago that they still havent recieved. Has anyone else had this problem before?”

“I had netflix a summer or two ago. You can log the movie as undelivered and they will turn your next movie loose. Seems like there is a warning in there that if you do that too much there could be problems.”

“Ok...I just wanted to make sure that this was normal and there was a way to fix it without paying for the movie. I will probably give them another day or 2 then try it.”

“I'd go ahead and do it now. They have a 12 month track record on you and know that this isn't typical for you. I guess they have a problem if someone routinely does this to turn the next movie loose early. I had to do this at least once and it was no big deal. I think the movie wound up showing up a few days later. When I did it, it was the same situation as yours. I'd watched the movie and it was late getting to them.”

“I signed up for Wal-Mart's DVD service a few months ago. No catchy name for it like Netflix, but same thing. A little cheaper, and so far it seems to be just as responsive as Netflix claims to be. Had the same problem - US Mail lost 2 of my DVDs (probably stolen), marked them as lost and bada-bing, new ones came right away.”

“Ok...I did the whole Problem Report thing. Hopefully it will show up. Thanks for the help. Why did you get rid of the service if I may ask?”

“I wondered about the Wal-mart service. For awhile their catalog just didnt seem to be as big, and beyond that I have always been happy with the netflix service.”

“I enjoyed Netflix, I just don't watch enough movies to justify it. I might watch 6 in a month and then won't rent any for 3 months. With netflix I felt like I had to move them through as quickly as possible to justify it. The thing I did really enjoy is getting movies you can't find in the store, or stuff you wouldn't otherwise rent. I got documentaries on Lewis and Clark and stuff like that.”

“It must be great to me able to rent Girls Gone Wild: Cancun without getting disgusted looks from the checkout girl.”

“My wife would put a foot in my a if I rented that.”

“We don't ever watch tv anymore. We've started getting lots of documentaries and full seasons of our favorite TV shows....There is nothing in Atlanta except Blockbuster, and with their rental price at almost 5 bucks, if you watch more than a movie a week Netflix pays for itself. This is the only problem We've had so far.”

“My roommate at Auburn bought the girls gone wild tapes when they first came out...Then they proceeded to send him a new tape every few weeks and charge his credit card. He never seemed to complain though”

“Yah I heard about that...you don't realize you're buying into a monthly delivery until the new tape arrives in the mail.

Something similar happened to my wife, only with some cosmetic she bought over the Internet. Took a couple of times calling them and complaining before it stopped.”

“fonsie, I'm about 2 hrs west of you on I20. I'm a Bama grad though!”

“you can get netflix lite or whatever. have just 2 movies out at a time”

“The lite is more expensive than just going to Blockbuster in my area.”

“Well, War Eagle Dayhiker! Now that Im in Atlanta, its just nice to talk to someone else from Bama. Atlanta folk tend to look at you funny when you tell them you are from the Heart of Dixie, plus they are all UGA grads...”

“yeah, I just don't see the lite one being worth it when you can pay aliitle more for the all you can watch stuff.”

“We'll have to meet up for a hike on the Pinhoti sometime. There's another guy in Atlanta that I hike with. We keep trying to meet up at Cheaha and our calendars keep getting in the way.”

“That would be great. I am getting married next month, so it won't be anytime soon, but it would be great this fall.”

“No, you won't be hiking anytime soon. In early Nov there is a trip to Sipsey. That'll be about 4 hrs from you. In early Dec I'm either doing a trip to Pinhoti or Savage Gulf, haven't decided yet.”

“Whoa! Getting married? Wild.

You remember my brother Tommy, right fonsie? He's married and has a baby since that trip.”

“I'll be nosy. When and what did you finish in at Auburn? The reason I ask is that I have a co-worker that's 25 and finished in CE at Auburn. It can be a small world, so I had to ask.”

“I love the SCRA. I grew up in Chattanooga, so thats always been a favorite playground of mine. Early december, around the 10th would be great, as my semester and work schedule would be winding down.”

“Wow Bit...getting married is one thing, but having a baby- Thats wild. I take it he hasnt done much hiking lately....”

“Nope, he's been too busy working. I'm trying to get him interested in the Sipsey trip in October.”

“Actually DH, I didnt finish. I spent 4 years there working in the Library fulltime and going to school partime. I got a job offr at the Georgia Tech Library, so now I'm doing the same thing, just with a change of scenery. I had an Ex-girlfriend that graduated in CE around that time.”

“Ive never been to Sipsey. I might have to try and take a Saturday off to make it to that one.”

“Are GT egghead engineers worse than Auburn egghead engineers?”

“It's worth it. Beautiful place.”

“By far....They are much higher per capita, so dont even feel the need to blend in here. Plus, the ranks are full of foreign GT eggheads, which bring loads of other problems such as language barriers and egos. Its tough to dispute library fines hen you can't communicate.”

“

750KV means "pay up" in any language.”

“I love Netflix, I'd have to drive to town to rent movies and then return them and that's too much of a hassle.”

“LMAO...That's friggin hilarious. I'll have to pass that one off to our department head.”

“anyone ever accidently return one of their own movies to netflix?...what happened? did ya get it back?

i accidently sent them one of our sons baby einstein dvds”

“Ha Ha! ;-)”

“thanks for the help stovie ;)”

“That stinks...let us know what happens.”

“I've never done that. Yes, please let us know what happens.”

“oh, i wasn't gonna actually try to get it back unless someone said they've had luck...i'm just trying to figure out how they would track it down...they've already received it and sent us our next movie so apparently they have no idea”

“LOL
The next guy that gets that movie instead of the one he ordered is gonna be pi$$ed.”

“I am gonna hate when my free one year expires in June. I really did get used to it.

anyone tried blockbuster? what do you prefer? Netflix or BB?”

“How the heck did you get a free one year?

I've had both. Netflix has the greater selection.”

“SS, you read my mind...i want in on this free 1 year deal...i've been thinking about checking out BB too...i like the idea of being able to exchange in the store”

“by drinking joghurt. :) they had some sweepstake on all of the joghurt bottles.

I for the heck of it entered the code online and won!! Shocked the hell out of me too!”

“a coworker gave me a good idea...the same thing happened to him...he emailed them and they basically told him he was SOL, there was no way to track it down

so what he did was put the movie that he accidentally sent back in his queue and when he got it he kept it and sent netflix their original movie back...brilliant, now that's what i call karma”

“It was a baby einstein video eh? You sure you don't have one of those digital video cameras and got busted? No wonder you're trying so hard to get that DVD back.”

“that sounds way too high tech for me...you're talking to someone who just got a digital camera last year and still perfers to use a film one ;)”

“that's a pretty good idea - but if I wind up wiht a baby einstein movie i'll let you know!”

“put 13 conversations about one thing in your queue and you just might end up with baby einstein ;)”
