The last disc will be shipped on September 29th 2023 after 25 years of service.

After an incredible 25 year run, we've made the difficult decision to wind down at the end of September. Our goal has always been to provide the best service for our members, but as the DVD business continues to shrink, that's going to become increasingly difficult. Making 2023 our Final Season allows us to maintain our quality of service through the last day and go out on a high note.

Good thing I finally returned those 3 DVDs I had checked out. I had moved back in 2014 and had misplaced the DVDs, was using the streaming service instead of the DVDs, so I hadn't really bothered to search for them, and then I just happened to spot them while going through some stuff and slipped them into the mail.
