A couple of weeks ago I ordered a new batch of six Netflix movies and they never arrived. After waiting four or five days, I contacted Netflix, told them the movies never showed, and asked for replacement copies. The nice lady in Netflix customer service told me that there seemed to be an issue with my account and they'd have to explore it and contact me later. The next day I got a very formal email from Netflix that stated in part "It appears that your shipping address is located in a high-risk area for our merchandise. We wanted you to be aware of this situation and if the losses continue in your area, Netflix may request an alternate shipping address." Great. I love the fact that I live in a neighborhood not even Netflix will touch. (Maybe the Biff Tannen Pleasure Paradise Casino & Hotel on the corner should have given me a clue.)
