Netflix’s DVD program includes some TV shows and movies that aren’t available through their streaming service. You can watch both DVDs and Blu-rays, you pay just once a month, and there are three plans to pick from depending on how many discs you want to be able to borrow at once. The DVDs and Blu-rays from Netflix arrive at your door in 1–3 business days and are just as easy to return through the mail.
Netflix’s DVD Plans
There are three DVD Netflix plans. All of them offer unlimited discs per month, no late fees, free shipping and returns, DVDs and Blu-rays, and no long-term commitment (just month-by-month). The only difference between these plans is the number of discs you can have at once:
Basic: $9.99 /month; one disc at a timeStandard: $14.99 /month; two discs at a timePremium: $19.99 /month; three discs at a time

How to Choose DVDs
Netflix automatically sends DVDs to you based on what you’ve added to your personal queue. The order in which you receive them is based on the way they’re arranged within the queue. Once you’ve returned the DVD, the next title on the list is sent, and so on. Here’s how to add movies to your DVD Netflix queue and then adjust which ones you’ll get first:
From a Computer
With the Mobile App
Mobile users can manage the DVD Netflix queue as well. Tap the plus sign to add a movie to TV show to the queue, and use the disc icon at the top right to edit the order or remove DVDs. To add a whole season of a TV show, pick the season you want to rent and choose Add All to Queue. You can find titles by searching by name, people, or genre. There’s also a Browse menu for locating popular movies, new releases, and Netflix’s top 100 titles. Download For:
How to Return Netflix DVDs
You have to return DVDs to Netflix in order to get the next one from your queue. Returning your rented DVDs to Netflix is easy. Just put the disc into the sleeve and envelope that came with it when you received it, and then put it in your mailbox or drop it off at a local post office.
How to Cancel DVD Netflix
You can leave the DVD Netflix program at any time to stop getting DVDs from Netflix. When you cancel your Netflix DVD service, your queue will remain for 10 months in case you decide to reopen your account. All DVDs must be returned by the end of your billing cycle to avoid additional charges.
