I was surprised to receive my Netflix in the mail on Tuesday. Netflix estimated a Wednesday delivery date due to Columbus Day, so I had to wait until Wednesday to report a mislabeled disc.

There are films/TV shows that aren't listed in Instant Queue, these remain in my DVD Queue to be shipped to me at some later date (I usually delete DVDs with an Instant Watch option). I move to the bottom of my queue any DVDs with a future Instant Watch date.
Does Netflix Really Need Two Queues?
Buzzkill Phil wonders why Netflix has two queues: "It's been a couple years now, and I still can't figure out the point of the Instant Queue. My Queue is a running list of every movie or TV show i have any interest in seeing (hence I'm always hovering around the 500-DVD limit). If I'm interest...
