I'm mobile and can't get the link to work. Synopsis?
-
Facing a projected $7 billion shortfall in 2011, the troubled US Postal Service is looking at dramatic changes to save money, including changing to 5 day service and raising postage rates. The new proposed rates for DVD mailers would increase by 7%, and according to NewTeeVee's calculations, the increase could cost Netflix $50 million or more in increased postage costs (Netflix spends more than $600 million per year on postage). The price increase would not go into effect until next January, if approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission.
Netflix's Andy Rendich recently testified before the Senate about the challenges the US Postal Service faces, and Rendich noted, "As such, we believe that the impact of a change in delivery frequency on our subscribers and our business would be relatively small."
Rendich on a rate increase: "We believe that additional rate increases necessary to cover the Postal Service's retiree health funding obligation will unnecessarily impact businesses and consumers that utilize the Postal Service. Companies like Netflix will either have to bear the impact of this increase or pass that cost along to customers. In eithe rcase, we believe that these additional costs will only further exacerbate the challenges faced by the Postal Service -- making their products more expensive and further negatively impacting mail volumes."
The US Postal Service estimated in 2007 that hand-sorting DVD mailers from Netflix and Blockbuster was costing the US Postal service tens of millions of dollars in labor costs, and that number could grow to more than $30 million or more by 2010.

:jerk: here in a couple years you will only have DVDs mailed to you if you are behind the times....everything will be digital like it is already becoming.

The Postal Service should be shut down ASAP. Jeffy, agree?

Phased out... yes. Until then, let the post office raise their rates to whatever they need to stay out of the red. If that means $5 for a letter, then so be it. (gotta get rid of that pesky tie to inflation first)
Just as with SSI and Medicare, you can't just stop them on a dime, otherwise you've created a vacuum. The longer any gov't program has been in place, the longer it takes to phase it out.

Hmmm, now why would Netflix say dropping a day of service is no big deal but raising their prices would be a big deal. Hmmm... I wonder if dropping a day of service would be a financial bonanza for a company that would not only ship fewer DVDs but could also reduce its workforce because instead of having the warehouses open six days a week they'd only need to be open for five days.
As for shutting down the post office, that's a great idea for those that live in cities. But UPS and FedEx don't deliver to people like my grandparents that live in the middle of nowhere. They'll take the package to the nearest post office and have them take it the rest of the way.

Netflix already does not operate on Saturdays, so I don't think it will effect them much. The only difference will be that movies they ship on Friday won't arrive until Monday.

USPS: Sorry Netflix, we're gonna have to raise your rates. It costs us 10s of millions to sort your deliveries by hand.
Netflix: Doodz, we pay you like 600 million bucks every year! WTF!?
USPS: Yeah...and we're gonna need to go ahead and stop delivering on Saturdays too...
Netflix: Dood!! 600 million fracking bucks a year!!!
USPS: Yeah...and we're gonna need our stapler back too...

No kidding. Everyone receiving the USPS pension that is bankrupting them should be required to subscribe to Netflix, and not the cheap $10 a month package, either.

I was pretty sure they did too.

You can not stream Blu Ray quality video, and you won't be able to in "a couple of years" either

I never get service on Saturdays. If I mail a movie out on Thursday, Netflix gets it on Friday. If I mail it out on Friday, Netflix does not receive it until Monday. Weird :dunno:

Yes you will.

I just started a month trial of Netflix through my PS3 (and getting 1 dvd out at a time) and I'm totally hooked on it. Plenty of streaming options now available and I think the company recognizes that streaming is the future.
As for the postal service, f em.

I live in Garden City, but I think my distribution center is in Wichita (could be wrong). I looked into it and some centers operate on Saturday, while others do not. If you look at the Netflix FAQ, it says they do not ship on Saturdays, though maybe that is just outdated.
-
The Wichita center(s) distributes on saturdays. I generally get my Friday returns processed and back by Monday.
-
Well, I don't know where my distribution center is, then. All I know is that I have never had a disk received or shipped on a Saturday.
-
You ever looked at your emails and checked what time they receive the discs? They process mine at like freaking 3 AM. Maybe the don't receive your early enough in the day? :dunno:
-
I receive my emails from Netflix anywhere between 4 and 7 am when they receive a movie. Whenever I mail a movie back to them, they process it the very next day, unless I mail that movie to them on Friday. Then it doesn't get processed until Monday. It might be a problem with my post office. I've noticed that they pick the mail up out of my mailbox later on Saturdays. Maybe they do that on Friday also. Next Friday I'll try to mail out a movie directly from the post office and see if it gets received on Saturday.

Meh. DVDs may as well be records. It just feels barbaric to have to wait for a hardcopy in the mail.
-
Ya I'm done with Netflix at the end of August. Sept 1 is when the new rate structure goes into effect.
For me, Netflix is one of those things that @ $10 a month seemed OK, even though I didn't use it that much. But for closer to $20 (even though it's not that much more), just seems too much. Their streaming content is too limited and not updated enough to warrant the same charge as the DVD service.
Now, I understand that they really didn't have a choice. They had to raise prices to stay in business but I just don't think it's going to work for them.
-
still gonna keep them, hulu and amazon. between them all I can find just about anything I want (within reason)

I just changed my account to streaming only for $7.99
With that, plus $7.99 for Hulu Plus, that's all we really need. Could probably kill cable and not miss out on anything.

Are new episodes on Hulu Plus or is there a delay? I am not waiting a week to see who got kicked off of Design Star!

most of the time they're up the following day. the advantage to hulu plus is that you can watch previous seasons of shows, also. we'd never watched modern family, and now we've watched both seasons through it
-
Watching Modern Family is such a tuck thing to do. Who knew OK_Cat was a tuck? Poor man's Arrested Development.
-
i guess if/when the stuff is up for viewing at Hulu isn't really important. their costs will be going up as well and pushed to the consumer just like what has happened with netflix.

Netflix product had been undervalued for a long time. They might have underestimated the viability of the remaining competition though.

don't think tucks enjoy modern family, it has gays in it.
also, arrested development wasn't funny. ok_cat's biggest pet peeve is people talking about how great a short-lived tv show was.

Let me guess- Okcat's fave comedian is Larry TCG? Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

i literally don't know who that is, juggaloksu

it's really not the same. those ads don't draw jack for revenue. the equivalent to putting your finger in a crack in the dam, or whatever.

Did they used to let you pick whether you wanted streaming or not?
I've been paying $14 or something to get 1 blu-ray at a time, but I just went in and edited my plan under the new pricing structure and did 5.99 for two blu-rays a month so i'm actually happy I ran across this. I have HD DVR & HBO so there's usually only one or two movies a month that I would rather watch then whats on my DVR anyways.

Yeah, I don't know what OK Cat's god damn problem is, but he's pretty wrong about that. Also, Modern Family is alright.

yes.
my plan was $7.99 for streaming + $2 for 1 DVD at a time + $2 for blu-ray total $12/mo. in the new plan i think it's like $18.
not really a huge increase but the whole reason i did it in the first place was b/c it was so cheap, now it's basically $20 and doesn't feel so cheap. i've had the blu-ray director's cut of bladerunner sitting on my coffee table for 3 weeks. i don't churn and burn movies like a lot of you losers.

This is where I am at too. Def dropping the disc delivery. not sure about streaming. May give Hulu plus a try. Haven't looked into it fully yet, so not sure. Using Netflix for some full season tv shows like the orig season of damages, weeds, etc. If hulu goes that far back, I will prob try them out.
I did a tour on hulu on the tivo last night and the quality was much better than Netflix. What do the Hulu users think about the comparo to Netflix?

Smell you later streaming. Get some real movies and I'll come back. I'll keep my DVD package though. Go Cats.

My issue is that I don't, but when I finally get the chance to, I want it to be something I want to watch. Nothing worse than getting to the end of a long day, finally getting an hour or so to watch something, and having to watch something you really don't care to watch.

the only advantage netflix has that hulu doesn't have is no commercials....but even then, it's only a couple minutes worth of commercials per show, so it's not a big deal. hulu is better quality/faster imo.
the only reason we're keeping netflix streaming is because my rugrat watches barney/dora/other kid stuff that hulu doesn't have.

note to Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) OK CAT, Netflix streams at 1080p. there is no better quality streaming. dumbass LOL...what does hulu stream at? imagine a soft piece of crap being crammed through a soda straw and you're staring into the other end :lol:
mods? can we rename this thread "dumbass"

i have a 1230p tv, which is obviously superior to 1080p, look at the numbers. hulu plus caters to those of us who have 1230p tvs, and not you hobos slumming it up with 1080p.

Pretty selective on what I like. Not digging a lot of the network stuff now. If it wasn't for USA, my tivo would have 75% less stuff on it. Streaming has been a huge relief for me in that I don't have to watch shitty CSI shows, etc.

Best part of Netflix is all the TV streaming without the commercials. You can watch a season of 24 in 16 hours, making it doable.

I'm going stream only as well. I use it quite a bit, plus my kids use it all the time. Just returned a DVD we had for 2 months, I can just use redbox for DVDs.

You should be able to use redbox for free if you have enough credit/debit cards

I don't really know them or anything but my gut feeling is that _FAN's kids are the type that will self regulate that stuff
They do a good job, plus it's not real difficult to see what they watch afterward.
