Netflix delaying tactics on active users

If you use Netflix and watches a lot of movies, you can turn around those DVD pretty fast but since you are beginning to be liability to Netflix and costing them postage money they devised a way to delay the delivery of your movies.

If your local Netflix shipping center is really close and it only takes 1 days turnaround they will soon send your requested movies from the farthest Netflix shipping center that they have.

Of course they need to make money, well I’m just voicing my opinion too!

Here’s a sample of their email that my requested movie will be delayed….

Shipping update

 Dear Sucker, NEW TITLE was not available at your local shipping center. Instead, we will be shipping this movie from WALA-WALA, Boonies on the next business day. As usual, you will receive a movie shipped email confirming the shipment. -The Netflix Team

Dallas North Tollway 9.6 mi. extention to open Sept 28, 2007!

At last! After 3 years of ongoing construction – it will be open to the pubic! I have been eagerly waiting for this tollway extention to be finished since it greatly affects my commuting schedule. I remember when we moved here in the denton area it was like a country drive.

Less traffic lights to deal with but more toll $$ to pay. -sigh!-  Dallas North Tollway

Over 40,000 drivers daily are expected to benefit from improved mobility thanks to the opening of the 9.6-mile extension of the Dallas North Tollway from just north of State Highway (SH) 121 to U.S. 380
Construction activities will continue until the project is complete.  Some exit and entrance ramps won’t be open until the early Nov 2007.  Motorists can expect off-peak lane closures as work continues.
