nuh-uh. This is "you paid to mail a postcard to Netflix with an address on it, and said 'ship me a video to THIS address'", and then Netflix initiated the process of shipping a video to you. Someone has to pay to actually ship the video back to you. Your mailbox might be large enough to GET that video (the thing you paid your local post-office for), but getting it from the originating point to your box is still something the shipper needs to put some postage on to get it to you. d
