Tim-
They have what they refer to as the Returning feature. Once you are done watching the movie, you simply place it into a “Returning” status, and they immediately ship out your next queued movie. This way they cross in the mail and you don’t have to wait for the movies to reach their offices. I would think you should be able to get at least 6 movies in a month on their 1 plan, however I have no idea what part of the country you live in, or any experience with their 1 plan. I would just try it while you have Netflix still, it’s only $10 and that way you could compare the two.

I forgot to mention I am looking at rent-a-flic’s 9.99 offer of only 1 movie out at a time

Arlan,
netflix has a 2 at a time, 4 total in a month deal for 11.99
Convince me that rent-a-flic.com, with no 1-800# to dial, is better.
Can I get 4 movies in a month from rent-a-flic, if it takes time to mail back each selection after mailing it in.
If I Watch Saturday, Mail Monday, will I get a new movie back by the following Saturday?

Try http://www.rent-a-flic.com, they are smaller, so your subscription means more to them. I’ve been with them for 4 months. If I have aproblem, I email them, and receive a personal email back within the hour. The service is incredible. They are cheaper than the competitors, and selection is decent, and more movies are in stock more often.
