Blockbuster vs. Netflix

So I haven’t been a Netflix customer for a while, but that is mostly due to the fact that I keep moving around and don’t have the time or location for Netflix. But I’ve been a loyal customer at heart, giving them my allegiance even when I haven’t given them my money.

Why? I’m no bull chasing blindly at someone waving red, I’ve tried the competition. Twice. I tried Blockbuster once when it first was out a moving and now once again. What do I think of the changes Blockbuster has made? They are junk. First off, I don’t want to go to a store to trade my DVD in. I like the mail system because it means I don’t have to go and hope for a decent movie and then return it. I also don’t like that Blockbuster uses edited versions of some movies and doesn’t let people know before hand. But what I really hate is that the DVD’s take way too long to show up.

Compared to Netflix, Blockbuster is a snail with a limp. My trial month with Blockbuster couldn’t be more disappointing. It seems to take about a week to get movies once I mail them in, no exaggeration. I mailed one out last Tuesday and the other last Wednesday and I just got two new DVD’s today, the following Wednesday.

Once I am ready to sign back up for a DVD mail service it will definitely be Netflix.
