    It is all about how they process the incoming mail at netflix. I have had that happen to me before too. Think about it this way, there are lots of people in your area that use netflix. Odds are they are all sending in movies around the same time. So your "local" netflix operation has to sort threw them all! They scan the first one of your movies they found, the other one will be scanned soon. Even if they were both shipped at the same time, they can still get mixed up in the in coming mail at their place. It will show up soon enough. If not, YOU know you mailed it, so just tell them what happened. My sister lost one of hers and they told her don't worry about it. You can keep them as long as you want with no late fees, so they said if it ever turns up to just send it back. She did end up paying for it, but it was 6 months later when she canceled her account. So you won't have to pay for a lost movie until you cancel your netflix.

    (Edit)Also, netflix has different locations all over the place. So if you want a movie and the "local" netflix doesn't have it they will have it shipped from a different netflix a town or two over. That could be the problem. One movie had to be mailed farther than the other. I have movies that come to me from the closest netflix, one town over. Other movies come to me from a different netflix 5 towns over.

    The Doctor is a alien, he is from a planet called Gallifrey. Home of the Time Lords. Time Lords, when near death, have every cell in regenerate, to fix themselves, they become a entirely new person in the process, It is a cleaver way of getting a new actor to play you main character every few years and it is why the show has lasted so long. It would be good to start from Series 1 of the revised show because it was cancelled in the 80s but brought back in 2005. the new revised show is a continuation of the old show, but you don't need to see any of the old classic episodes to understand the lore. Series 1 is the best place to start, but if you want to skip ahead series 5 introduces a new Doctor, New companion, New writing team. the show was essentially revamped again for series 5 (For the better in my opinion) and from series 5 you will get the idea of the show, you would have missed on a few things but nothing you couldn't pick up on or figure out. The first episode i Watched was from Series 5 and i got into the show very quickly, I didn't need to watch the series before hand to understand what was going on. A few things made me scratch my head, but nothing drastic. Series 1 is the best place to start Series 5 is my recommendation and stay away from series 6 and 7 until you have watched 5. PS: what the hell is gallimaufry, that was the suggested spelling of Gallifrey

    If your looking for a great alternative to Netflix, there are other sites that are way better. Netflix is often way out of date and pending on which country you live in are often lagging in there release times.

    If your looking for a safe reliable site to watch movies online try http://bit.do/beststreamingmoviesite as my family has been using them for years to watch/download movies online. They have all the latest movies with no advertising and no buffering on their streaming videos and they even have direct downloads, no torrents. It is absolutely the only site in this category that I trust my kids to use safely.

    If your trying to watch movies on your Ipad try http://bit.do/beststreamingmoviesite because you can watch the original high resolution AVI, the site works with any device and since you can direct download your movies, there is no need for a proxy.

    I've been burned way too many times and found myself with Spyware or a virus on my computer after using many of the free sites to watch movies online. Its not so free when you have to put hours and hours into removing the crap I got from them. If you are looking for a website that is safe and reliable give them a try.

    I would say it happens but it's not common. Since Thursday's went out after mail pickup, they both went out Friday morning so it's possible they got Friday's before Thursday's. Don't worry about it, I'm sure every thing's fine.

    Yes, Netflix sucks! They throttle which is really annoying, and last but not least they cost more! The best I ever did was a little under $2.00 average per movie in one month (and I really had to watch them fast and get them in the mail faster!) I don't know where you are but try REDBOX. It's great and only 99 cents per night. They don't have thousands of movies but I see all the new releases right away!
