| gahnzz Member 10 Posts 8/06 |  Posted - Nov 14 2007 : 8:36PMOkay... I've tried both SugarDVD and BushDVD and I'm frustrated to say the least. I live in Seattle and both of those companies have excessive mail times in my opinion. BushDVD used to take up to 5 days from the time it was "shipped" and SugarDVD is now going on to a full week since the mail date. Has anyone on the west coast of the U.S. had any luck with lower shipping times? I find it hard to believe that there isn't a company that has a turn-around time of less than 3 days to process and 5 days to actually ship a rental. Any help is appreciated. thanks!

| HeyNow Oblivious Gold Star Hey! 5965 Posts 1/03 | Posted - Nov 15 2007 : 2:35AM How long ago since you were at Bush? In summer of 2006 they fired up a "rapid return" feature in which you would flag a rental disc as returned the day you drop it in the mailbox. 2 days later they send out the next movie or movies. That should shave a little time off. Another suggestion you probably won't think much of is to spend more money on, say, 8 discs out at a time - at that rate you should always have a supply of movies either at your house or on the way. Anyone else? Edited by - heynow on 11/15/2007 2:36:13 AM [Link] |

| gahnzz Member 10 Posts 8/06 | Posted - Nov 16 2007 : 9:51AM Surprised no one has stepped up and offered something akin to Netflix (netfux.com?) as far as level of service and turnaround time. The argument for potential profit is a no-brainer. [Link] |

| fatalbert Member Diagonally parked in a parallel universe 576 Posts 5/03 | Posted - Nov 16 2007 : 1:55PM A typical example is (3-disk plan): I return one disk on a Monday, one on Wednesday, and one on Friday. The following Monday they will acknowledge all three as having been returned. They do ship the same day (I get them in 2-4 days, usually 3), so my main complaint is the anywhere-from-2-to-7 days it takes for them to acknowledge returns. When in the past I have queried them about this, they have (of course) blamed the PO, but for a month or two the service seems to improve. Hmm. [Link] |
