Yesterday (Monday) my wife dropped 3 flicks into the PO box inside her
work. It's a large corporation, if that matters.
Yesterday was MLK day, and the post office is closed.
Today (Tuesday) Netflix sent e-mails that they received the 3 flicks.
The e-mail times were 6:14 AM.
They shipped the next 3 flicks about noon.
I don't have a Netflix envelope now, so I don't know where they ship
to.
But it doesn't make sense anyhow.
Any ideas how that could happen?

The Post Office does pickups on Sundays and holidays, even though it doesn't do
residential deliveries. Read the labels on some of the public mailboxes near
you...

The large corporation probably delivers its mail to the post office. I seem to
remember hearing that some post offices scan the Netflix envelopes which
transfers the info to Netflix immediately. Or maybe that was Blockbuster...

No complaints here.
But that's the first time in over 2 years Netflix got my mail the next
day.
The first time. And it was 6 AM. And it sent on a "postal holiday."
WEIRD!!!
I'll check where they are sent to when the next ones come.
I'm thinking Barb was right in suggesting the post office scan is sent
to Netflix.

Why not write to Netflix, complimenting them on the excellent service, and
by-the-way ask how they do it?
