Does NetFlix have drop boxes for locals?

I live in Gaithersburg, MD where Netflix has a distribution center.

Can I drop off my DVDs to save shipping time?

If you live in the same town, the mail time will be just one day. Is that
fast enough?

It's a distribution center, meaning they don't have an office set up for
consumers to make drops. Besides, if it's in the same town how much time
can you be saving? Half a day at the most?

Yeah Netflix is fast as hell anyway. At least in my town.

No. Netflix purposely conceals the physical address of their
distribution centers to prevent that very thing. Each DC handles tens
of thousands of discs each day. It would be impossible for them to
handle that many customers showing up in person also.

The only thing I can think of that might speed delivery would be if you
dropped your disc in a curbside box or at a Post Office within the same
zip code as the Netflix distribution center's PO box. That might help.
But why? If you're going to do that, you might as well go to
Blockbuster instead.

Yeah, but has anyone responding to this post tried it yet? There is a
distribution center near me as wel and since I am not a member I can
not do it nor is anyone else that I know and I do know the exact
address ( the local paper printed it when the distributiion center
opened ) Soooo has anyone actually knocked on the door with DVDs in
hand?

Don't talk logic, Derek! It hasn't helped these knuckleheads in the
past.

It doesn't suit him, either.

Doesn't that rather DEFEAT the purpose of Netflix?--
If you're going to leave the house to return disks, why don't they just
hang a big Blockbuster sign outside their door?
