Redbox supposedly has some at "select" Wal-Mart locations but I have no idea how to figure out which ones. I would imagine they are fairly limited.

IT IS NOT THE MAILMAN. It is the sorting machine at the post office wherever the discs are mailed from or at the local post office. It's not a person, it's a machine.

I just got off the phone from reporting it to the USPS. Didn't seem to care....aware of the problem yada yada.

Basically USPS (rightfully) blames Netflix, Netflix blames USPS. Customer loses.

That sucks, you may as well go with another service since your postal service sucks. I know atleast 7 or 8 people that have netflix, and thats why i got it and they never have had issues. I think only 2 friends have recieved a damaged disc once

It's a Bluray issue. Before last week I had had one damaged BluRay several months ago, and NEVER a damaged DVD in over 4 years.

I just remember 1 disc never making it due to the mailman putting it in the wrong box. I noticed it and sent out for another disc, sent, no ?'s asked and later informed me that the person who got it sent it back in the mail 2 days later. Netflix is great for me, and it helps to have the warehouse in kc

I read somewhere in one of those links that the extra protective coating on the blu-ray disks makes them more rigid and susceptable to cracking.

This wouldn't be an issue w/ a Blu-Ray you own because its less likely to bend than if it were in a mailman's bag, or just a mail bag in general with other stuff on top of it.

has anyone on planet earth seriously ever paid $30 for a blu ray?
