I love the idea of netflix where you order videos online and then send them back in the mail free of charge. You are allowed to have three DVDs at any time.

The DVDs arrive in 1 to 3 days so there is a turn-around time between 2 and 6 days from send off to recieving new movies. Two days is wonderful, and perfect if you have three DVDs, but six days often leaves you with no movies for the weekends.

I suggest that netflix allow you to have 4 DVDs at a time if you live far from a distribution center. They can just check how long it takes them to get a DVD back after it is postmarked. This would allow even the people with 6 day turn-around to have videos all of the time.

If they do I will sign up again for the service. If Netflix won't do this, then the first competitor to do this will get my check.

This isn't an idea, this is a complaint letter to Netflix.

You have the wrong website, buddy.

Actually this is the essense of the website. You take an existing idea or system and you come up with ways to improve it or bypass it. I think you got the wrong website, buddy. but good try.

According to Netflix's website, this is now available.

Look, guy, the point of this website is to figure out solutions to currently unsolved problems, not tweak already-working solutions to suit your marginal peccadilloes. Stop being such a crybaby. And next time, complain to someone who's in a position to address your issue -- which, in this case, would be Nextflix Customer Service, or rather, WOULD have been Nextflix Customer Service, because it appears that Netflix has ALREADY solved your problem long before you thought to complain about it.
