I have both a netflix subscription and am a member on a prepaid plan at fliks, one of the lower levels. we use it to supplement when we have finished our allowed DVDs for the month at netflix, or when spur of the moment we want something else. i have actually found the employees generally nice, and i mainly use it for delivery. it was great when my partner was home sick for a week and could just order stuff, and we do use the free pick up to avoid late fees, though often, despite this feature, we still keep them too long. i think they have a great selection for an actual, physical store, as opposed to net flix, a lot of foreign, independent and classic as well as the regular drama action and comedy, it has a significantly more interesting selection than blockbuster which i know is not saying much, but I think it is a great community asset, and i appreciate them being there.

I recently purchased a prepaid membership and immediately regretted it. They had very few movies I wanted to rent. (Granted, it was the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving, but still.) The place seems so dingy and low-rent to be in this neighborhood. On a very busy night, there was one disappointed customer ahead of me, many others waiting in line, while the phone was ringing off the hook. The single employee at the counter seemed much more interested in selling me a prepaid membership than in taking care of existing customers. It's obvious that they just want your money up front and then forget about you. Meanwhile, there was an employee at the candy counter in the front, doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING except minding the candy. It's a ludicrous way to run a business. I haven't yet checked out the site, but I guess I'll have to, if I want to use this stupid membership that isn't even a good deal -- almost 4 bucks a movie. P.S. The person who wrote a good review is obviously an employee of the store -- don't be fooled!
Pros: Convenient location for Upper West Siders
Cons: Everything else
