Some great news for Netflix customers. According the Netflix CEO, Reed Hastings, they’re starting to test Saturday shipping during the first quarter of 2009, but apparently only in “certain parts of the country.” So, normally if you send back a disc on Friday, you would have to wait for Monday for your next disc to ship.
If Netflix receives it on a Saturday, you could receive your next disc as quickly as Monday. That is, if you live close enough to a distribution center to get one day delivery. That should make a lot of people happy. It’s only one day, but still. We like everything now!
On the other hand it’s sad news for the netflix guy or girl who has to work more hours.

For the price they charge, they should have done this long ago really. It’s good to see they’re doing it now.
Of course depending on the USPS for service is kinda iffy for a biz model… 5 day delivery seems like a done deal, is 4 or even 3 days next up? Netflix better build a fire under the downloader crowd.
