No More Late-Fees from Blockbuster
-
Dec 15, 2004 18:11
In an effort to compete with mail order video services such as Netflix, Blockbuster is eliminating one of its major sources of income: late fees. The company announced that as of Jan. 1, 2005, there will be no more late fees charged on any movie or game rental at its more than 4,500 company-operated and participating franchised stores in the United States.

BUT....after you have a movie or game for a week or whatever after you rent it, you' re automatically charged for a purchase of the game or movie. always a catch.

Too late, Blockbuster' s late fee policy of old has already put them on my " never shop there again" list.

I cannot imagine how this will work. With absolutely no incentive to return movies on time. Without movies coming in on time, the shelves won' t be restocked on time, people won' t get to rent what they want, and they' ll be unsatisfied and not rent from there. I wouldnt'

For many, that means that their delinquent charges will drop off dramatically.
However, Blockbuster will probably try to charge $120 per movie saying that would be what they would lose in rental revenues (like the old days).
It' s a scam! I haven' t figured it out yet, but it' s a scam!!!
