I just noticed that my envelopes now have a Cedar Rapids address. It will be interesting to see if the speed continues to hold with this new center. I read an article on the way a Netflix distribution center operates and it's an amazing example of an efficient combination of human and machine (a cyborg, if you will) labor. The slowdown has always come from the postal service.
CORRECTION: HackingNetflix says that center has been around since !!2005!!. So it's not new, it's just new to us. Interesting.

I like the speed of Netflix. My movies used to get back to Las Vegas in a day and here in a day. Vegas is about 70 miles away.
Netflix is fast - love it! Except when I send them back on a Monday --I learned from my postal carrier that mail we send on Monday goes to a different sorting center - further away - before it's trucked back here. (?)
