Give Me A Harder Problem To Solve: Solution: No Special-Handling(s):
Answer:
Allow Gamefly to develop and/or patent a user-friendly envelope that allows both envelope & content to be sorted through our Mail Processing & DPS Machines without damage…this will make Gamefly ‘light-years’ ahead of Netflix & Blockbuster. Gamefly then can license/sell patent rights to Netflix & Blockbuster and everyone’s mail will flow through out facilities without and special-handling(s) and/or concerns. Brilliant…Yes I Know!

Netflix, DOES get preferential treatment. They ALWAYS have! These used to go through UPS before they switched to the USPS. They should get preferential treatment because they are such a huge mailer. This only makes sense. Don’t you think if you had millions of dollars in the bank you would get better service than some one else? If you had any business, and such a large customer as Netflix was your customer, don’t you think you would bend over backwards to keep their business?

Paper CD/DVD mailers have to be pulled and sorted manually, otherwise they jam the machines and destroy other people’s mail. In reality *all* of them would be pulled out if possible. Its just that Netflix and Blockbuster are easier to notice (partially due to the volume, but mostly due to their bright recognizable color schemes).

Long story short – if you want to send a DVD or CD in the mail, and want to be sure it arrives intace, put it in a corrugated mailer, or a plastic disc mailer (remember how AOL CD’s came?)

what is the address for the lawyers that are handling the case for Gamefly? Netflix does get preferential treatment at the GPO in Houston Texas via sanction of the Plant Manager.

In my small Post office we put the gamefly mailers in the same “special” tub that we put the Netflix and Blockbuster DVD’s. So Gamefly gets the same special treatment.. at least in our office.

i am a rural carrier and i can assure you that netflix and blockbuster both get special treatment. just as jim stated earlier in the day, the netflix and blockbuster dvd’s are placed in containers separate from the other mail.

You guys would know better than me but I doubt the post office would play favorites. Maybe Gamefly was concerned about increased volume due to the Gamefly Free Trial

Netflix, Angelo, and the PMG; it’s good to have friends.
