  • Netflix is ending its mail-order DVD business.
  • The final shipment will happen on September 29, 2023.
  • Netflix points to its dwindling revenue as the reason for shutting down the service.

Remember when Netflix used to send DVDs through the mail? You don’t actually have to think back that far because Netflix’s DVD business is operating to this day. But that won’t be the case for much longer.

For 25 years, Netflix has been a go-to source for movies. While it first started out as a website where you could rent or purchase DVDs online, it later pivoted to streaming. A move that likely kept it from going out of business. However, Netflix decided to continue its DVD business even after the pivot.
