How It Works
Here is how the process works. Visit http://www.blockbuster.com and add movies to your queue, called My Q. They will be shipped to you via first class mail in 1-2 business days. With the DVDs, you will get a postage paid envelope so that you can send them back through the mail. The other option is to return the DVDs to one of Blockbuster's stores, if there is one near you. Shipping DVDs is always free, in both ways. There are no due days or late fees, you just have to pay a flat monthly rate. Blockbuster online advises that to get the most out of their service, you should keep at least 30 "Available" titles in your queue at all times. Once you have added movies to your queue, they will be automatically shipped and you will notified by a separate email for each and every DVD shipped.
