Movies Rental Review
7.00 dollar movies that dont even play!! Or just stop play
Movie Review
All of the movies I have ever gotten skip to a point where they ruin the whole film especially at any good parts
Unreturned Movies
I cancelled my membership with them because not only do they have horrible customer service, their movies were never delivered in a timely fashion, sometimes taking days before they would ship the next movie. I always returned all my movies and now that I cancelled, suddenly they charge me for 2 movies unreturned.
All my movies were returned, I'm guessing their processes are so inefficient that they probably couldn't match the returned movies to my closed account. In any case, I did return the movies so why should I be responsible for their charges?
I find them despicable and I'll be disputing those charges. I'll never deal with this dying company again.
Thieves Thieves Thieves
Six months ago I cancelled my Blockbuster account online. For the last 5 months they have continued to bill my debit card for a total over 100.00.
I have called them multiple times to have this resolved. They will not issue a refund and I had to have a nice long fight with customer service to even confirm my account was cancelled even after all of this.
They are thieves and when I stated that to them they couldn't even argue it,just a mousy sorry. Guess they have to get their checks to clear the bank some how.
Blockbuster is horrible.
Made out my movie list with Blockbuster. The first movie they sent me was not right, no big deal, I thought maybe I did something wrong.
Second movie, not even on my list. I called and they told me they didn't have the first movie on my list so they just sent me a movie. I asked well if you didn't have my #1 pick why didn't you guys send out my #2 pick? That is when i found out they don't have enough movies for all the accounts if everyone orders the same movie, so they just sent me two random movies.
The turn around time on the dvds'
was 7 days.
Netflix was 3-4 days and they had every movie that I ever ordered. Will go back to Netflix.
Blockbuster selling used games as new
I ordered something from the Blockbuster site last week, and i definitely clicked new. What i received is not new and is missing the online pass.
I phoned to see if i could get what i actually paid for sent to me, and they just said the game itself is new - just the packing is not. They said I'd have to send it back and then order again from the site, and they can't guarantee that it won't happen again. How can they get away it?
It doesn't seem like there's anything i can do about it. I can't even get the "new" button to come up on the blockbuster site again.
Bait & Switch
Bought A Better Way To Die for $7.00 from the ONLINE Blockbuster.
Was shipped in a timely manner.
Received Finding Forester (Already have that movie).
Called to find out how to get what I wanted.
You guessed it, they do not HAVE A better Way To Die!!!!!
So now I have to send back Finding Forester at my own Expense.
So now I have to go to the Post Office, buy an appropriate envelope, pay for postage and HOPE that they will own up to receiving the movie.
I Lost money on this and they had a chance to dump a movie that they have too many of.
Bait & Switch
BB By Mail Now Sucks!!!
They say they ship available titles within 24 hours of receipt of your returns but the truth is more like 1 week. What happened?
This is false advertising. When you try to contact them online the page gets stuck "submitting" until you give up. How can they get away with this kind of customer service? When you call they make you wait on hold after jumping thru hoops just to tell you to add more titles even if 10 are available to be shipped already.
They have gone from bad to worse.
This is how to kill your business. Sad.
Online rentals
I have been waiting 3 months for a movie,any movie out of my *** of 19. they keep saying we are processing your next title ,and that takes 3 months?
but faithfully every month they pull money from my account,for what!!!??? they need a better system.*** they need someone to respond to complaints.netflix just might have got a new customer.blockbuster on line sucks don't waste your time or money.they don't even have a supervisor to help just a bunch of 12 year olds saying "I know" and "your movies will be sent out soon" does soon mean never?
No Discs by mail being shipped
Like some many other complaints here, I have the same. Blockbuster started out fine and now I don't even get one disc a month.
This service is a waste a time and a rip off. If you need discs by mail go with Netflix. Dish must be under funding them or getting ready to phase out the movie service. They also say you can stream movies but they don't tell you that service is an additional cost.
This is totally false advertisement. They should be investigated by the better business bureau. Stay far, far away.
Netflix is way better. Good luck.
DVD By Mail - Don't Ship Anything
2 of the past 3 months BB has not sent out movies to me, even though there have been selections in my ***. They tell me to add more to my *** (so they can send me something I don't want), vs.
them possibly adding more inventory, so that the movies in *** don't say, "VERY HIGH DEMAND". I've received a month's credit, and had to fight for that. Now I asked again for another credit, and they agreed, but added that this would be the last time. I must agree with them, because there will not be a next time for me to go through this.
I will contact them next time to discontinue my account. BB refuses to address the issue.
Time to look elsewhere. REDBOX ANYONE?
TV Series DVD Mail Service Scam
I was not able to resolve this issue with Blockbuster. Our solution was to terminate our Blockbuster account and return to Netflix. Netflix had all the DVDs Blockbuster listed as very high demand.
We recently switched from Netflix to Blockbuster DVD mail service. However, we've found problems with Blockbuster.
We wanted to try viewing a new TV series. Blockbuster sent the first disk immediately. The second disk was listed as very high demand. So, Blockbuster sent disks 3 and 4.
We watched disk 1 and sent it back, thus receiving disk 5 of the series. We waited several weeks for disk 2 to drop demand. It didn't, so we had to return unwatched disks 3-5 to continue our rental service. That was three months ago.
Disc 2 is still on very high demand. This seems to be the case for not only the series we wanted to watch, but any series with multiple disks. We've contacted customer support, but the reply told how to change the wait times in our *** and did not solve the series disc 2 problem.
We replied that their solution wasn't fixing the problem and we've heard nothing back. Based on this poor customer service, we do not recommend Blockbuster for mail order DVD!

Fraud Case
Someone stole my name, address, debit/credit card info and set up an account in my name and ordered two $5.09 rentals using my stolen card info. I called right away when I saw the charges in my checking acct the day after they were charged.
I verified my information with them. They closed the account and I was given a case #. I was also told to tell my bank that two $5.09 credits were going to be processed to my acct. Four days later no credits so I called and they then said I would have to have my bank file a dispute before they would credit my acct back.
I had the same thing happen at 3 other websites (for charges between $20 and $84) and those companies immediately either reversed the charges or credited my acct back without my bank being involved. Why would I have to spend my time and my bank's time for $10.18. Besides, they had told me they would credit me back right away after I had proved my ownership of the card with them at the time I called them. The person who opened the acct used an Alabama phone number with a Delaware address.
I had no problem with the other companies. How cheap can you get!

I too, canceled my account online but my issue is different. I returned the movies that I had in my possession (I had 5) and they only credited me for 2 of them!!!
They are awful and really don't care about their customers!!! It's crazy that big companies can get away with this *** and nothing happens to them!
I too canceled my account. The very next billing cycle, they charged me.
After many (30 or so) angry emails and 8 phone calls, I learned I had to cancel on-line and at the store that set my account up.
I now have to go to the store to have the charges reversed. Blockbuster does commit fraud and it's very difficult to find out how to take care of it.
