NO more late fees?
LockedBlockbuster Canada has been advertising NO MORE LATE FEES for all movie and game rentals.
The commercials state, that if you want to keep that movie or game and extra few days,”go head, keem ’em”
you will no tbe charged. This REALLY implies that there are NO late fees.While there ARE no LATE fees, a penalty is issued after being 7 days late. On the 8th day, you are charged the FULL selling price of the movie or game, on your Blockbuster account, less the rental cost paid.
IF you return the movie AFTER that 8th day, they will still remove the SALE added to your account and there is a $1.75 restocking fee.
One would think that this wouldn’t work because nobody would return movies and you’d be forever waiting for a enw release, however Blockbuster assures us that they are monitoring the situation and will ensure that a constant stock is held in store.
So it’s still a pretty good deal, you pay for a 3 day movie, return it after a month and the only charge is a $1.75 restocking fee. Not bad.
Just too bad they hack and edit all their movies into nonsense for family viewing. Not as bad as they USED to be, but the Rogers copy will always give you the full uncut version now.
So for Canadians who HAVE seen this latest marketing blitz by Blockbuster, and for those of you who actually still do rent from Blockbuster, don’t be fooled by the ads, there IS fine print.
