I'm also close to canceling, as is everyone I know who uses Netflix...I'd say one out of three discs are now arriving damaged in some way. I've emailed them suggesting they hire people to watch their movies every so often, checking for damage, but no answer. The only movies that ever arrive intact are very recent/new movies.

I've been trying to do this for several months now. It is the worse kind of service ever! They do not respond ever to any form of contact. What a mistake it was to sign up with them to begin with. Theirs is one horrible way to do business! Is it possible to cancel netflix? I’ve been trying to do this for several months now. It is the worse kind of service ever!

True downloads will take a couple hours, but that beats a couple DAYS via the mail, don't you think? Soon everything will be digital, not just Netflix.

AND you had the 4 out at a time plan?! No. I think the benefits of Netflix far outweighs the bad disc once in awhile. Especially when you consider that you can go to their website, tell 'em you had a bad disc and they'll mail you another one out right away! To cancel Netflix based on a couple scratched discs??

The difference between Netflix and your local video rental is if you rent a damaged disc at the latter you can return to the store and have it replaced at no cost or get a refund. Netflix won't reimburse you for a damaged disc. Can you imagine returning a damaged disc at your local video rental and them saying, "We won't give you a refund or a replacement but your more than welcome to pay to rent it again." That in essence is Netflix. Walt can write all he wants but he's not paying your subscription fees. I think you made the right decision.

When you receive a damaged disc from Netflix, you are NOT required to pay for it, at ALL. You notify them and they immediately send out a replacement. Better than 80% of their customers receive next day shipments. Yes, an inconvenience, to be sure, but so is having to drive back to your local video store (assuming they're still open that night). I've been using Netflix for four years now(!) And I really am so happy. I go through about 60 movies a month on their 8-at-a-time plan. I highly recommend it over any other service, mostly because of their fast shipments and large selection, but also because of their ratings and recommendation system which is beyond compare.
