I don’t know if this is a recent thing or not, but lately I’ve noticed my return envelopes from Netflix are being stamped with locations other than Hartford. More often than not now, the envelope is addressed to Worcester, MA. Worcester is 60 miles further North, so I don’t know how much of a difference it makes in shipping time. More troubling was that I just returned my Veronica Mars season 2 disc, and the return address was in Nashua, NH (120 miles further north).
Of course, the ironic part of this is that above each address Netflix prints “Nearest Netflix Shipping Facility”.
