I would also like to introduce the suggestion that netflix DVD users temporarily change their address to their next domestic hotel's, but also put in the 2nd line of the address "please hold for guest". I did this once when my ship date coincided with my travel date and there was no other way to get the DVD to me on time. It worked like a charm, but I did call the hotel to make sure they would accommodate and of course they did. I didn't have to ask upon arrival, they were expecting me and they gave me the DVD with the key. your mileage may vary, but it's helpful suggestion in a pinch as long as you change back your account address immediately after your shipment.

I first played this out because I had returned a disc two days before leaving for connecticut and I had no option to get the mail in time to catch my flight on the same day so I decided to have the movie shipped to me for my return flight.

my only downside in trying it the first time around was that I put my phone number in the 2nd line address for personal insurance in case somebody found the disc. but the phone number got cut off halfway. be aware of this and do not type as many characters as the box allows, your tail end of the "address" will get cut off! (seems like a critical bug in their system if you ask me)

The disc I received even had a local return address so the system works fine out of state.
