Netflix at home for the holidays
General December 28th, 2005
Since I’m spending this week at home, last week when I finished *shudder* American Wedding and popped it in the mail, I changed my address in Netflix to point back to my Mom’s house. The day I arrived there, so did a new movie. She’s a Netflix member too, and it’s been real nice having 6 movies to pick from this week. We’ve been watching things from both of our queues and mailing them back. Today, since I’m going back up to school soon, I set my address in Netflix back to Champaign and I’ll have a movie waiting there when I arrive.
How many other services are as easy and portable to modify for the holidays (or, really, any week long trip?) I didn’t have to put it on hold – I took it with me. And in a few web-clicks, it was really simple to do. This is another example of an unsung awsome feature of Netflix: My same queue, the same red envelopes, same fast/effective service in a completely different town.
I wonder if people who commute a lot (working extended weekends or weeks in another city,) point their Netflix queues to their short-term hotel/motel housing? I don’t see why it wouldn’t work, and I’m certainly impressed with how easy it was to take it with me.
