Netflix Testing Saturday Shipping [NetFlix]

If you've been a Netflix customer, you know it can be a little frustrating to send back a disc Thursday/Friday only to wait until Monday for the replacement to ship. That's going to change.

The company is going to begin testing Saturday processing so that late week returns don't hose customers. (Good news for us, bad news for Netflix employees who like their weekends.) It's unclear as to how many of Netflix's 60 shipping centers will participate, but of course, it'll be a wash once the US Postal Service cuts down their delivery week to five days anyway.
