Blockbuster does the same thing. When I first started the DVD's were rolling in fast. Now that I have established my usage pattern, the shipping /receipt times have become un-bearable.
For some reason, both companies can't believe that certain people like to watch movies, not TV, and can actually watch a movie a night or at least 5 a week, which would work out to about 21 movies a month. Neither will let you do that long term, no matter what your plan says - i.e. "unlimited".
