It's offical, I'm throttled!
I've read about it on sites like HackingNetflix and I've even suspected it might be happening; however, now I'm positive that Netflix is throttling back the number of movies I receive by delaying shipment.

Prior to this last batch of movies, I would often get that "shipping tomorrow" message first thing in the morning which is really irritating (if you know you are able to ship it tomorrow, that means you have one and that means you could ship it today). I figured it was the first step towards the dreaded throttling.

Now with the latest three movies, I have seen a delay (an extra day) in the time it takes for my movies to return to Netflix and a delay (2 extra days!!!) in shipping time. So instead of getting my movies the day after they ship (which is what has happened for every movie I have gotten from them), I am now on day 3 with no movies! There is no excuse for such slow shipping times considering they have a fulfillment center here in Louisville.

I'll give it a couple more tries (say 6-9 more movies); but if I feel they are limiting their unlimited promise, I will drop them like a hot rock.
