Marti is right about being in the minority, but I'm a 60 grandma and I think we have more fun in here than the kids!

They were there until about 1979 when they moved to LA. My husband and I lived in Beaverton for a couple years in the 70's and my youngest son was born in Portland. I definitely have an Oregon connection.

I find the series' in my queue to be frustrating, too, when one or more discs are not immediately available. In a couple of cases, I rented the disc from BlockBuster, or got it at the library just to keep things moving in sequence. But that's inconvenient and not always possible. I agree that NF should remedy the situation, but evidently it's not as simple as it seems.

Anyway, thanks for replying. I'm sure we'll stay in touch.

My distribution center is a small one and if I order an obscure title, it always comes from another center and takes several days. In most cases, if I knew this in advance, I'd skip it. But I don't have that choice. NF sends an email advising me that it's coming from another center. You'd think they could also give me an option of waiting for it, or not, at the same time. Maybe they'll get it worked out one of these days if there's enough interest.

When they are not available in our home hub, they must be shipped from other hubs, and while this is happening, nothing else moves.

I really think that customers should have a choice as to whether they are willing to wait for things to be mailed from elsewhere, or whether the home hub should skip the unavailable and proceed to the next movie in the queue, while contacting sister hubs to have the requested item mailed to THEM, before posting it as available on our queues.

When I brought this to the attention of a customer rep on the phone a couple of weeks ago, she mentioned that many customers have requested the same thing, but so far nothing has been decided about this matter, saying that maybe this is too complicated a thing to program Netflix's computers with, though, on the next breath, she told me that from Monday to Wednesday, the computers don't skip to the next choices, but on Thursdays and Fridays, they do... seems to me that this is not more complicated than what I would like to see happen, along with many others. Any ideas on how we can make Netflix give us a choice as to whether we can have a choice on this matter?
