I know, why couldn't I have thought up this million-dollar idea?! I swear, it seems so obvious now. Oh well, Ill keep brainstorming for my million-dollar idea/invention

Oh boy, I just realized I have 173 videos in my queue. Since it takes two weeks for a video to get here and two weeks for it to be mailed back, I'd only be getting about 4 DVDs a month, so it would take like 3 and a half years before I finally watch all of these movies and I'll have spent about $1000 on rentals.

I think I need to cut back lol.

I'm thinking of all the DVDs I've got sitting on a shelf that I watched once and now they are collecting dust. A lot of $$$ under that dust.

Just got my first DVD today. Haven't gotten a moment to watch yet.

The site is not without problems. First off the popular DVD's like Michaels Ellis' are all "out", so they do not have enough of them, also if a title is 2 or more DVD's then they break it up so for example Disc1 or Disc2 could be "Out" and you will have to wait for indefinite amount of time before you can rent the set even if you pay up for the 4 DVD's at a time subscription. basically their policy of splitting up titles works against those that pay more. On top of that they ship only from Washington state and using regular mail s if you are on the east coast it will take a week or more to get the title and another week or more to send it back before the next one will be shipped. Netflix being HUGE gets around that by having depots around the country.

This seems like an amateurish version of Netflix to me. Of course if you do not mind waiting for long periods to get the titles you want (while you pay your subscription) then it could workout for you.

I live in PA and get my videos in 3 days. I have the 2 video plan so I have one while the other is shipped.

Yes, the site is a little amateur and I think traffic was greatly increased for them when they started getting advertised on dog message boards but it still beats paying $60+ for one video that you may or may not watch more than once.

I joined at the beginning of March...mine come in about 5 days. I do wish that the more popular DVD's would have better availability. Otherwise, I can't complain, it's not as fast as Netflix, but I am still saving a lot of money. And I believe Netflix breaks up DVD sets and you have to rent each disc individually, although I'm not positive about that, haven't rented DVD's from Netflix in ages.

Netflix is fast because they are a big company and have sorting facilities everywhere. Yes, they also break it up so you get one disc at a time from a set.

A little late to the show but I just joined and have two of Joanne Flemming-Plumb's obedience DVD's shipping out to me. Wish the availability on the Michael Ellis DVDs was better. I wanted to get the power of training dogs with food, and his focused healing DVD as well, but they're out. From reading this post it seems like this has been an issue for awhile with this site.
