Netflix: An Honest User Review About Netflix Video Rental!
by webmaster on May.12, 2010, under Gamefly
Anneline Smith asked:
Netflix has invested online movie watching experience with new meanings and has been reining the niche, outdoing every competitor since its insipience in 1997. It has quite deservedly been the darling of millions therefore. However, lately some upgrades and modifications in the world of netflix downloads have triggered speculation on the decreasing efficiency of its services. While there are still others who vouch for the high-standard services passed on by the pioneer online rental video service. To dispel all those confusions then, here is an honest consumer review from somebody who has been subscribed with netflix since 10 years now and has been closely examining the happenings:
Getting Quick Service Is Easy
Netflix video rental service isn’t a favorite with millions for nothing! The quick doorstep delivery service that the company pioneered in providing the consumers with, radically changed the way watching online movies was perceived. The company places strict insistence on “single-day delivery” and I would say that it actually lives up to it. However there have been some users who have faced problems on this front and complain of not getting deliveries on time. In my opinion, things are being goofed up at the consumer’s end then. In most cases that I studied closely, either there was a delay made by the renter in returning the DVD or another peculiar error persisted- most of them got their deliveries from a far-off mailing address and made the mistake of mailing back the DVD’s in the same envelope. So the DVD’s would reach netflix late because they did not mail them back to their local distribution centre. The lag occurs for no fault of the company then because unless they get the previous shipments back, dispatching new ones is out of question. What you could do then is retain some envelopes with your local distribution centre’s address as the returning address on them as buffer (a good way to do this is to mail two DVD’s in a single envelope) for using them later in such situations.
Getting the Most Out of Your Netflix Subscription
Let’s Face It- Throttling Does Happen
While netflix would decline any indulgence into throttling or smoothing, the truth is that it does happen. As per the company policy of “unlimited rentals” one must be allowed to rent as many DVD’s as one can possibly watch and return timely. But this does not seem to happen in practice and there have been instances of filtering heavy renters by the company’s automated accounts. The shipments to these renters are delayed purposely as that translates into profits for the company. While I am not advocating netflix’s stand, as long as one can limit the number of movies rented to a moderate figure there should be no major problems. And again, looking at the cost-effective and all-inclusive services that it offers; this count can surely be compromised upon.
Netflix practically invented the online movies niche and with its committed approach towards delivering quality services for consumer-satisfaction, it surely deserves its due. Minor glitches and drawbacks do exist in every niche and I am surely mindful handling could eliminate a huge chunk of them. On the whole, I would give thumbs up to this wonderful service.
