"In determining priority for shipping and inventory allocation, we give priority to those members who receive the fewest DVDs through our service. As a result, those members who receive the most movies may experience next-day shipping and receive movies lower in their Queue more often than our other members. By prioritizing in this way, we help assure a balanced experience for all our members. Those that rent a lot of movies get a great value and those with lighter viewing habits are able to count on our service to meet their limited needs."

we've only been members for a couple of months and our dvds are still coming at a good pace.
ususally we get three in the mail, burn em, and then send em off usually the next day..then in three days time we get three new ones.
we were wondering when they start to slow down or if it's ever going to happen.
maybe this happens with people who rent 6/7/8 dvds at a time??
also i was reading that page and it's people who work at netflix,
although the computers check the dvds in and tell the people what to send out next..i just can't see things slowing down that much..
i work at an internet place where people send us their pictures and
we send them out the same day. so i can see where the netflix people are coming from...
