Day 2 1/2 blockbuster vs netflix ( that was fast!)

I got my DVDs!!!! I guess there is a blockbuster or netflix distribution center around me. I quickly watch one DVD from each vendor and return today (Friday). Let's see who will receive and return back to me the fast ;-)

the return envelop is a little different ....
Blockbuster: the envelop is smaller compare to Netflix and it has the title of the DVD on the label!!! so if I have 3 DVDs and accidentally switch the envelope what will happen?

Netflix: the envelop is RED! The title of the DVD is a bar code shown on a small window of the RED envelope. Geez, it's red enough....even my dog would know it's Netflix.

I wont test blockbuster's store pickup or checkin function until later on, for now just testing the speed of USPS.

Day 1 and 2 blockbuster vs netflix

Signed up on Tuesday night (6/12), both vendor have shipped the DVD. Which DVD will get to me first?

I signed up for the 1 DVD unlimited for $9.99 for both. But Blockbuster has the 3 DVD for 1 month (you must cancel before 1 month or get charge). Both has sent out email that the DVD(s) are on the way.

To add your DVD into the queue is pretty easy, Blockbuster gives you option to buy the DVD. Netflix has an area for you to buy "used" DVD, but I haven't try this feature yet.
