Explains my experience with Blockbuster Total Access, from Blockbuster registration process to movie returns.

I joined Blockbuster Total Access last week, and aside from the 4 step registration process I will be the first to say that my experience thus far has been really good.

The only area where I had problems on, was getting the movie queue system to work and wondering what I had to do after I had done so. You see as a Blockbuster Total Access customer you are given a list of movies that are based upon Movies Categories, Collections, New Releases, Top 100 Online Rentals, and Award Winners. Those categories are then broken up into sub categories to better suit your movie search.

There is a notice once queued movies are made, something to the likeness of... What do I do now? Nothing, you movies are now in queue, you should be recieving them soon in the next few days.

I have recieved emails one after the other once each movie shipped. (Which is a rather nice feature) Mainly because I am always on my email, so its nice to be given and update when things change, also Blockbuster online gives me an expected arrival date, which was right on the money.

Once I was done with my movies I placed them back into the self returning envelope, but rather than mailing them back. I took them to my local blockbuster, which is like 1 block away. I choose another 3 movies, and returned the ones from blockbuster online.

I suppose another problem is that the movies that I had in queue were the ones that I just so happened to of checkout in the store. Meaning, that Blockbuster Online sent me an email stating that my online movie rentals were recieved...and they were now sending the next few out. (Yea, the ones I rented in the store) O'well, I suppose that is my fault for not removing them for the queue system.

As of now things had been really working out, I am satisfied with the services that Blockbuster has implemented, and I feel its totally worth the money. If you cant find the movie at the store, go online, and vice-versa.

Nice job Blockbuster, excellent way utilizing your real estate outside of the internet.

sounds cool. it would probably be even better id they synced up your queue with your acct in their POS system so movies you get from their retail stores are automatically taken out of your queue. I really like the option of returning them to the stores instead of shipping them off. Do they offer the same service for their games>
