I tend to think that no amount of competition will stop these issues, until there is competition with the US Postal Service.I think the problem is Netflix's; not the US mail.
Like most of you, I order tons of stuff on the internet... DVDs, CDs, LPs, books, pet supplies. I also frequently trade music with friends, including not a few people on this forum. In a sense, I always have a finger on the pulse of the US Mail.
In short, the only service that seems incapable of shipping their items to me in the time they claim is Netflix. In fact, I believe I'm very fortunate in that I usually receive orders earlier than expected. Except, again, when it comes to Netflix.
In other words, I sincerely doubt that my discs were shipped from Netflix when they claimed, if at all. And, in the past week, I've sent three emails to Netflix customer service requesting assistance on this matter and have thusfar received no response whatsoever.
I have no axe to grind. Do a search of this forum, and I'm sure you'll still find very positive things I've said about Netflix. But lately, I have nothing positive to say about them. And my queries have fallen on deaf ears. I'd rid myself of their service altogether and immediately if there was an alternative.
I can't wait for there to be an alternative.
