Interesting. I must be very lucky in the sense that I have never received one disc from them that didn't play just fine. Granted, I've never actually paid much attention to the condition so they could be scratched beyond belief. They always sem to play fine though.

As far as turnaround times, I think a lot has to do with how close you are to the nearest netflix distribution warehouse. Luckily, ours is Santa Ana, which means quick turnarounds. My dads is 300 miles away in Kansas City so he waits an extra day or two.
