Do you remember your first Netflix DVD?

It’s time for the credits to finally roll on Netflix’s signature red envelopes. After 25 years of delivering DVDs to the doors of movie fans across the country, on Tuesday the company announced that they are finally shutting down their movie-by-mail feature.

“Those iconic red envelopes changed the way people watched shows and movies at home — and they paved the way for the shift to streaming,” the company’s co-chief executive Ted Sarandos told the . “To everyone who ever added a DVD to their queue or waited by the mailbox for a red envelope to arrive: thank you.”By 2010, 20 million people were subscribed to the service, which was around the same time that, Netflix’s most ordered DVD, first came out. The company now says that their final round of DVD shipments will hit the post on September 29.

On September 29th, 2023, we will send out the last red envelope. It has been a true pleasure and honor to deliver movie nights to our wonderful members for 25 years. Thank you for being part of this incredible journey, including this final season of red envelopes.
