Netflix Will Stop Sending Out DVDs by Mail After September

  • Netflix is shutting down its DVD by mail service after over 25 years.
  • Subscribers can keep their final DVDs and request up to 10 more titles for free as part of Netflix's closure of the service.
  • The DVD service still had an estimated 1-1.3 million subscribers interested in titles not on streaming or special features.
  • Netflix introduced DVD rentals by mail in 1997 as an alternative to video rental stores.
  • The closure marks the end of an era as streaming fully takes over Netflix's business model.
