Why not write to Netflix, complimenting them on the excellent service, and
by-the-way ask how they do it?

"Bev", not "Barb". This is a common mistake. Curiously enough, my cousin
Barbara complained about being called Bev. Can you shed any light on this? I'm
really curious...

They're a very well-managed company. When you go to the website their
customer service page displays the expected wait time if you call
them.
BEFORE YOU PICK UP THE PHONE-- the info's on the website, updated in
real time. That's pretty smart and customer-friendly.
When I was a customer the turn-around time (from when I mailed to when
I received the next dvd) was almost always two days.

Brian fart maybe? I know you're Bev, and I know of a Barb here too,
Max's pal. They live in my "area."
But seriously, maybe because Barb is more common than Bev and it just
sort of falls in place when not thinking sharply.
Of course that doesn't explain what happens to your cousin Bev, Barb.
I got 3 DVDs today. Sent 3 Monday, got 3 Wednesday.
They should close the PO more often.
Larry suggested I compliment Netflix and ask them how they do it, but
I figure it's because Netflix has a nearby mailing address, as I saw
today. About 20 miles from me.
Netflix knows what they're doing, as they often send me an e-mail
asking when I shipped or received a vid.
If I tell them how good I think they are they might raise rates.

You're probably safe as long as Blockbuster offers a similar service. Better,
if you have a Blockbuster within walking distance and haven't seen pretty much
everything they have that you want to see.

Irrelevant to the ebay feedback system.
I might well buy stuff from a store where 7 out of 100 decided that
they would return items to the store, because quite a few of them
likely never intended to keep them and were just getting a free use
of the item, and plenty more didnt like the item for reasons that I
dont agree with them on.

Depends entirely on whether the item was readily available elsewhere.

I've sold a car, a boat, and numerous computer and electronic items on
craigslist. Time to sell varies with the item and the market...
If you just want to SELL something locally, and not try to "auction" it
nationally, craigslist works very well. No fees, either!

Thats mainly the result of very little evolution happening anymore.
We are even silly enough to assist those whose genes would normally die out to procreate.
