I am having trouble with these guys... →[More:] they aren't sending me movies that they say are available because they're not REALLY available, they are just movies that other members have, per their customer service. WTF?? They do not reply to further emails and their phone number is unlisted. Anyone else have any experience with Peerflix?

I remember thinking this was one of those things that sounded like a great idea on paper that would totally fail to work in reality.

Yes! It's been a while since we had a beating. A lovely beating, just in time for the weekend.

Get up on their blog: blog.peerflix.com and start leaving comments. They'll have to respond or risk looking bad, because they're getting some a low comment volume.

Excellent, thank you edible.

--Hi Sue, First, let me apologize for the slow customer service. We're doing our best to keep up and can't respond to requests via the blog comments system.

S'woderful. I feel much better after sounding off on their blog and writing another email. Thanks again, edible. We can still have the beating though, right? I was kind of looking forward to that.

Edibel energy is a GENIUS. I just got a nice email from someone at Peerflix. It doesn't solve my problem, but at least it was a response.
