While you might have stopped receivingNetflixDVDs in your mailbox ages ago, the servicewas still sparsely availableto some subscribers...until now.
The media company justannouncedthat they mailed out their final DVD, closing the chapter on a service that they have provided since 1998.
To commemorate the moment, avideowas posted to the official Netflix YouTube page, with a message that read: “On September 29, 2023, Netflix will ship its final DVD in the mail. We’ve always loved entertainment and that little red envelope remains an enduring symbol of our mission to make it better for every member. DVDs will forever be in our DNA.”
In the video, we follow the process for how Netflix DVDs were packaged and sent to households. The clip also includes a look at how the website for Netflix originally looked. At the end of the video, a message appears, which says: “Farewell to the era when Netflix came in the mail.”
