Blockbuster announced Tuesday it will continue to set due dates, with one week for games and two days or one week for movies. But the company will give customers a one-week grace period at no additional charge, starting on New Year’s Day.
I think this is great news for those of you out there that still rent movies. Blockbuster makes a killing on late fees. The movie rental itself is about $4. But that charge quickly skyrockets to around $8 for movies a day late. I guess they’re trying to lure TiVo customers back to the counter.
