They only said that for your initial shipment. Of course even if they said it universally throttling towards the ends of the month is still going to leave your disks usually shipped with one day turn-around. "Usually" is a very important word, if 10 out of 17 disks get turned around in one day that's "usually". They didn't advertise anything other than their giving, a large movie selection, a convenient way to rent movies, a flat monthly fee for rentals, and the ability to get a lot more movies in a month with that fee than you can with the same amount of money at 90% of the brick-and-mortal rental places. Those are the ads, and that's what you get, if that's not good enough for you it's your money, me I like it, I get as many movies as a I want they have a better selection than Block Buster and I wouldn't use the "free" in store because Block Busters are nasty places filled with annoying employees.

they use the one-day turn-around claim all over their website. you have to really go into the fine print to find out about the throttling.
they never really level (and i just checked their site) about delaying shipments to limit rentals--they pretend that it is because of high demand for certain movies and distance to distribution centers.
i don't think they are coming clean even now.

i guess you didn't read my terms of service--i bill you for each post that you make to me and for each post that i make to you.
all businesses do this, as you say, so you can send me a check for $100. i hope i don't have to put a lien on your house.
does this sound fair to you?
you are defending a similar practice.
