my beef with netflix

i think netflix is a great service, because where i live, you can't rent cool anime at the local movie rental store. they pride themselves on fast delivery, "more than 90 percent of our users receive their movies with generally one-day service." and they are right, 90 percent of the time that is. i think with more popular movies, very mainstream movies, 90 percent of the movies do make it with one day service. but i've found that many of movies have been in the other 10 percent. i believe that since many of the anime shows and movies i am renting are not in huge demand, netflix has a smaller quantity of them spread throughout 37 shipping centers. so, when i send the movies back they are travelling to their original destination, scanned in, and the next one is sent out. sometimes, it takes 6 or more days. but i have come up with a system that is speeding up the netflix shipping process. on the return envelope their is an address that says, "Nearest Netflix Shipping Facility..." well, i have had some envelopes that were addressed to texas, idaho, california and other far-off places. the nearest facility to me is in kentucky. so, i just mark out the original address and write in the new. voila!! problem solved.
