Netflix DVD Trial



I wanted access to more Leslie Sansone DVDs so I got a Netflix DVD subscription free trial for 30 days to see what they had to offer and how quickly I could turn things around. We already had a streaming subscription, but I wasn't able to find any streaming workouts. I couldn't find a list of Netflix DVDs without signing up for the DVD subscription, and it was driving me nuts not knowing, so I signed up. My subscription will be over on Monday, but I'm writing this up since I have time right now.

They have a few different pricing options. There are three Unlimited options. One disc out at a time is $7.99 or $9.99 with Blue-ray. Two discs out at a time is $11.99 or $14.99 with Blue-ray. Three discs out at a time is $15.99 or $19.99 with Blue-ray. You can also do a Limited option where you can get one disc at a time for a max of 2 discs per month for $4.99 or $5.99 with Blue-ray.

In my free trial I was able to get 6 discs. The timeline is below

March 1st - I joined.
March 4th - I got my first DVD. I joined on a Saturday, so the first disk took a little longer to arrive.
March 5th - I shipped the DVD back.
March 7th - I received my second DVD.
March 10th - I shipped it back
March 12th - They sent an email that the disc that I wanted wasn't available from the closest warehouse so they were going to ship it from another location, but it would take a couple extra days to arrive.
March 14th - I received my third disc which was an extra disc as a consolation since my other disc was delayed.
March 17th - I received my fourth disc which was the one that was shipped from the other warehouse.
March 19th - I sent back the two DVDs.
March 22nd - I received my fifth disc.
March 25th - I sent back the disc.
March 29th - I received my sixth disc.



I probably could have gotten one extra DVD, but a couple of the DVDs had two workouts on them so I had to do both workouts before I sent them back. Each disc cost me $1.33. If I had been able to get one more disc out of it, it would have knocked it down to $1.14. If I could have gotten two more, it would have gotten them down to $.99 each disc. I thought about going for one more month and bumping it up to two discs, but that puts it over the price of Gaiam TV which gives you unlimited streaming so I can workout every day of the month without having to wait on discs. If you already have a Netflix DVD subscription and just want to get a few extra workouts to try in a month, I would say that using Netflix would be a good idea, but if you're looking for the most bang for your buck, I don't think that Netflix discs is it. I can get more from my local library in a month than I can through Netflix. They did have a good selection of Leslie Sansone discs though.
