A-HA! I was right. All three allotted movies in my Netflix queue arrived at the same time. Since my distribution center is an hour and a half from here, there's was absolutely no excuse for them taking that long. They're all pretty recent movies, so they're pretty sure to be in stock just about anywhere.
Technically speaking, one should have arrived Tuesday, and then two on Wednesday. Then we would have returned those and had one more on Thursday, and one more on Friday (if they processed on Saturdays, the next one would arrive the following Monday). That's how the system works when it's at its best, but of course Netflix will try to make some money out of it--by slowing down their service, they think you'll upgrade to more discs per month for a higher rate.
Not so much.
I'll keep logging the ins and outs this and next month. If it becomes obvious that their service degraded along with their price decrease, I might have to take my biddness to the Loss Leader. Even though their name must not be mentioned out loud....
