FACETS online rental program query (split from another thread)

I've been renting from them for about a week and a half, and I like it. They're shipping from Chicago, so depending on your proximity expect the appropriate shipping times. They do have a place on their site for you to mark movies returned as soon as you mail them back, but I am not sure if they mail your replacements right away or not. Also, it must be said that their website is a little buggy, and not nearly as user-friendly as Netflix or Blockbuster. There are lots of little quirks... for example, if a movie title includes 'and' (such as "Celine and Julie Go Boating"), you can't search on an ampersand - 'Celine & Julie' returns no results, but 'Celine and Julie' or 'Celine Julie' do.
However, I was able to find about 25 movies I had really been wanting to see that are unavailable from Netflix. When I go through those, I may or may not keep the service. We'll see.
