Netflix is shutting down its DVD by mail business.
popularized streaming movies over the internet, it rose to prominence with a unique business model: Sending customers DVDs through the mail. Subscribes to the old-school Netflix maintained a queue of movies they wanted to see and then Netflix mailed out the discs when they became available. When customers sent a DVD back in one of the company’s trademark red envelopes , Netflix sent the next movie on their queue back.
It sounds crude by today’s standards, but it seemed pretty cutting edge at the time. The big selling point: Unlike Blockbuster and other video stores, Netflix didn’t charge late fees; then as now, they were a subscription-based business. So you could theoretically hang on to a DVD forever, as long as you kept up with your monthly membership fees.
Although it’s been years since Netflix was primarily known for DVDs by mail, the business endured for all these years. Netflix eventually even purchased the domain DVD.com, so anyone going there was taken directly to Netflix’s DVD business. But today the company announced today it would bring its DVD by mail business to an end later in 2023.
