they use collection agencies. Blockbuster is built on fucking you with late charges.

xxxdesign-net · 05-06-2004, 07:11 PM

isnt it their obligation to call you and let you know about it..?

PatrickKing · 05-06-2004, 07:12 PM

Return it and tell them you will pay the late fee later.
next time you go back they will say you owe them money, complain that you paid when you returned the dvds. they will credit your account and all is forgiven, trust me it works every time

freeadultcontent · 05-06-2004, 07:12 PM

You may want to just say the tape got stolen. Then pay the replacement cost, it could be cheaper.

ztik · 05-06-2004, 07:12 PM

say you lost it then all you have to do is pay for the dvd

Blinky · 05-06-2004, 07:14 PM

Gah, you might as well keep it, and pay them for the video, the late charges would be more, and you'd have to hand the vid back as well.

Those one use disintegrating DVD's do have a future.

tranza · 05-06-2004, 08:02 PM

How much is this going to cost you???

Elli · 05-06-2004, 08:07 PM

No, they will charge you full price for each day, since it's really a one night rental spread over 24 hours.

The replacement cost on rental copies is about 90$ each, or at least it was for videos when I was working in a video store. That's why the manager always gets so choked when someone comes in and says their machine ate the tape.

I just close the account if I get a huge late charge. Come back later with a different piece of ID or borrow under a spouse or family account.

NickPapageorgio · 05-06-2004, 08:10 PM

I have had the xbox game "The Great Escape" since like Feb. Sucks that I coulnd't have decided to get a better fucking game to heist...

Exactly

frankthetank · 05-06-2004, 09:11 PM

Why dont you do what I do... Just sneek it back into the store and prop it up onto a shelf and then they will soon find it and realize that you returned and they just misplaced it, it works all the time.

All the local blockbusters here have metal detector thingys at the door, so you can't take movies in or out without handing them to the people behind the counter.

our blockbusters have a slot you can just stick them in and drive off... no need to go in the store at all

Shortbread · 05-06-2004, 10:29 PM

Don't they usually call after a few days?

Well yeah, of course they all do. But I was talking about the possibility of being able to sneak a video back onto the shelf unnoticed.

i wonder if video rental stores will go out of business once the on demand thing takes off, and people have access to huge movie libraries.

Ask to buy the DVD. It's cheaper than paying the late fees.

Axeman · 05-06-2004, 10:36 PM

I hate late fees. I am the worst at returning videos. I think its time I look into Netflix

Videos don't cost that much anymore. And dvds usually cost the same as what consumers pay, $20-25. Video stores used to pay a premium because they would get movies before they were made available for home purchase OR they would get movies that were never made available for home purchase.

Now there's no such thing as a movie that's only sold to rental stores.

Rictor · 05-06-2004, 10:37 PM

If you are bad at returning videos, get a service like Netflix.

foolio · 05-06-2004, 10:39 PM

Why did you rent it? Could you not afford to just go buy a DVD?

Babagirls · 05-06-2004, 10:39 PM

i rented a movie last summer , forgot about it, moved out of state, and now it sits proudly in my movie collection......blockbuster case and all

sumphatpimp · 05-06-2004, 10:43 PM

pay up
we know who you are, and where you live.
satellites are tracking you as we speak, resistance is futile.

didn't you know about the homing device in the DVD?
