An exceptional, customer-winning response would be a partial refund, and a replacement of the damaged and mistaken posters.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m expecting more of a &#8216;BestBuy&#8217; though.

Netflix processed stuff yesterday, sent things yesterday, and, even though the mail was down and they were telling me that the movies wouldn&#8217;t be here until <em>tomorrow<\/em>, they were out there today.  All happy and flat and red and Netflixey&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>So, yay Netflix.  Good job.  How &#8217;bout selling posters?  No?  Maybe a joint deal with Rifftrax, then?
