When we first joined, it took a minimum 4 day turn around time. By the end, we had consistently gotten the next DVD within 2 days, and twice we got one the next day.
We still have the streaming service, and there are still movies you can only find on the DVD service (some aren't streaming anywhere) but it was time to let it go.

First I heard of it was about 15 years ago.
But all that story really does is make me reminisce about the days of my brother and I riding our bikes to the neighborhood Blockbuster and trying to find movies and video games to rent.
There's no real experience like it anymore.
