- Cutting up your ["Blockbuster"] card at the store earns you a free rental, which is a nice little perk, but can only be done once per account. 49er has good prices on ["movies"], too, since you aren't paying $5 or more to rent a ["Movies" movie] (except for new releases).	+ Cutting up your ["Blockbuster"] card at the store used to earn you a free rental, which was a nice little perk.

- They have sections for films required by classes on campus (which are restricted to one-night rentals), Art House (foreign & indie) films, a separate adult section containing pornographic movies, as well as BBC and US television series (''The Prisoner'', ''Star Trek'', etc.), but the main difference between ["Blockbuster"] and 49er is that 49er has a lot more ''good'' ["Movies" movies] (and has them displayed much more readily).	+ They have sections for films required by classes on campus (restricted to one-night rentals), Art House (foreign & indie) films, a separate adult section containing pornographic movies, as well as BBC and US television series (''Lost'', ''Star Trek'', "South Park", "Dexter", "House", etc.). The main difference between ["Blockbuster"] and 49er is that 49er has a much wider selection of ["Movies" movies] (you won't ''just'' find a few mega-hits and new releases).

- While ["Blockbuster"] prides itself on excessive new releases (the big-budget movies), 49er has more of a focus on its collection of classic/foreign/independent films, in addition to the most recent new releases. Recent releases are updated on [http://www.myvideostore.com/49er their website], but the website is NOT an accurate listing of the store's rental stock -- if you are looking for a specific title you should call and ask them.

- 49er is also the place to go to get cheap, high-quality, used DVDs. The racks of previously-viewed 'for sale' ["Movies" movies] are immediately in front of the registers and the ["Movies" movies] are usually only priced around $10 and are sometimes much cheaper. ["Movies"] include the original packaging and can be exchanged or repaired if they're scratched beyond watchability.	+ 49er is also the place to go to get cheap, high-quality, used DVDs.

For families, the head-of-household may place any family members on the same account, as well as any restrictions for those individuals (for example, if you don't want your 13-year-old checking out R-rated movies).	+ You need an account to rent at 49er Video, without exception.

- *The DVD cleaning machines we use are actually resurfacers, they aren't meant for everyday cleaning of the discs. Their job is more to repair discs. That being said, we actually clean a lot more discs as they are rented than we ever have before in the four years of my working here; we have never had a policy where we clean every disc as customers rent them, that would really put the buffer machines under unnecessary wear as well as severely increase the wait time for check out. We will gladly run your movies through the buffer if they need cleaning and we have time. Unfortunately DVDs just don't hold up very well, they are very easy to damage. Any time you have a rental that doesnt work for you, let us know, and we will gladly exchange it for a new copy or a free rental that you can use either right then on the spot or at a later date. --["Users/JakeJames"]	+ *The DVD cleaning machines we use are actually resurfacers, they aren't meant for everyday cleaning of the discs.

- *Hi Patty. I don't know exactly what happened, but I can offer some possible explanations. First off, we have had lots and lots of employee turnover in the last year and there are currently a total of three staff members (out of 7 total) who have a month or less of work under their belt so far. I'm not sure what the confusion was regarding your identity, it may have just been then asking for your name after typing in your phone number - this is how we confirm that we have the right customer. After a while, we put faces to some of the regular customers names and then don't have to confirm in this way, but until they know who you are they are taught to ask for a name. Some accounts also have notes that say "Check for ID" - if this is on your account, this may have been why they were giving you a harder time about your identity. As far as someone treating you as if you were an inconvenience, that is a big concern, and you are welcome to discuss this with myself (the manager) or the owner to see if we can find out what happened. The reason that 49er has outlasted almost every other video store in Davis has been because of it's excellent customer service, and while I do realize that several people on this forum think we look bored or groggy on the job, once we are asked a question we most always do as much as we can to help and assist. I hope whatever bad experience you had was just a result of a new employee not knowing their stuff yet, and I hope your experiences are much better in the future. --["Users/JakeJames"]	+ *Hi Patty.

I have never had a problem with the employees before, i actually thought most of them were very nice, but my last 2 visits i have left very mad, they were really really rude, and were not helpful in the least, it seemed my questions about videos were an inconvenience to them. i was also given a hard time when i was not questioned about my identity, and was told that i was not a regular because this employee had never seen me before. i am in the customer service business, and this is not how u treat a customer. --["Users/patty45"]

	+ ------ + ''2009-04-23 18:23:32'' [[nbsp]] I'm always amazed that 49er can stay in business given the rise of NetFlix, but every time I stop in I remember why - they're just so great! From the special deals to the employee picks section to the friendly counter banter on Saturday nights, I'm always happy to find myself here. I do have to say that I seem to have rented an above-average number of DVDs with scratches (meaning you have to stop the movie halfway through and FF through the scratched parts), which might (?) be the result of how many people in Davis throw their stuff into their bags onto their bikes before they pedal off? - but even that doesn't keep me from coming back. 49er forever! --["Users/calvin2"]

I love their "past 12'o clock means a cheaper rental" thing, since I am a night owl, and often when we rack up late fees like nobody's business certain employees seem to cut us a little slack with the fines. Perhaps they notice how much money we give them every week due to our laziness? Who knows!? + I am mainly writing to comment that about two weeks ago, on our weekend soujourn to get a video or five, one of the employees (a new face, lighter curly hair, glasses) smiled and joked with us. So simple, right?! It was refreshing, since as much as I love 49'er, the staff always looks very bored/neutral and somber and are hard to get a smile out of. I often suspect they are not paid very much, since my days in soul-crushing retail made me that way too. + I always protest that "I want my indie video store clerks WEIRD"!, since I am used to strangely-coiffed, film-studies-majoring, movie snobs in suspenders that look down their nose at me when I rent Underworld and freak out when I rent Kurosawa, or whatever. Maybe I think I'm living in a John Hughes film. Maybe those weirdo film-nerds are all older grad students who won't work for minimum wage. Maybe 49 is a soul-crushing place to work and I just think it rules because it carries awesome films? Who knows? + Anyway- to the nice curly-haired employee; Thanks. Little things like that make me glad I canceled my Netflix subscription. --["Users/KaiSmart"]

- - 49er has great selection of several different film genres and the employees pride themselves on being as helpful as possible when it comes to assisting you with your rental needs. Unfortunately, the store is not large enough to have a no late fee policy like other corporate rental services. If they had such a policy, they would have little to nothing in stock at any given time and would subsequently go out of business. Also, because they are a smaller store, they can only carry a decent amount of new releases for any particular title. The store begins with an average of 14-21 copies of a basic new release, going as high as 40-50 copies of huge titles like Juno or Iron Man, and as low as 1-2 copies for very small titles. Because of their limited ability to carry multiple new releases, their new releases always start out as one night rentals so they can have them back as soon as possible after they are watched. You do always have the option of extending these rentals for .50 cents more per title for an extra night at the time you rent them, but to maintain the stock in the store they do require movies come back after 1 night, or 2 nights if you add the extension. Because of this, you should put thought into how many movies you can watch in that 1-2 day window. If you can't return a film within two nights, you should either wait or rent a library title that will give you 5 nights of viewing time. Also, instead of renting 3-4 new releases at one time, unless you have set aside most of your day to watch films (which is never a bad idea), you should usually only rent up to 2 (since you get a discount for every two new releases you rent anyway). '''Late fees for new releases add up very fast!''' At 2.79 per day, plus tax, if you have just three new releases that are three days late each, you will end up owing 27 dollars! For fees that are very steep, you can '''usually''' (this is not a promise) have them cut down to 50 percent of what you owe if you talk to an employee when you return the late movies and kindly ask them if they can help you out. Even at a 50 percent discount, however, late fees can be very high, so rent only what you can watch!

Sometimes people don't get these calls because they change their phone number and don't inform us of the change. Sometimes people just flat out ignore us when we call. In both cases, if we cannot reach the customer or they don't come down and pay the fee in person after a few weeks the owner or manager will begrudgingly send the account to a collections agency to collect the fees. We never rent to anyone whose name is not on a rental account, in fact if someone wants to rent under their parent's or friends or other acquaintance's account and their name isn't listed as a supplemental renter we will immediately phone whoever owns the account to make sure they give authorization to rent to that person. This is a hassle and half but we do it to make sure thing's like what this customer above says happened don't. Once authorization is given the person who owns the account is responsible for all fees and penalties anyone on the account incurs.

They make a lot of money charging exorbinant late fees. Then if you happen to not be in the store for 30 days they just send you to collection agency. Imagine having your credit trashed by a late fee you didn't even know about.

They dont check their drop off box late at night or early in the morning (in fact they admitted to me they only check it twice every 24 hours). Therefore, if you are returning your movie the day or night it is due, you should return it in the store. If the store is closed put in the box and call them the next morning. If you are charged a false late fee and call them on it, they may or may not correct their error. They are somewhat inconsistent here and it depends on the employee you get. What ever you do do not pay the late fee, they take that as an admission of guilt, request to speak to the manager. They really nead to fix the drop off box system and have their slot attached directly to the store to avoid all these mistakes. --["Users/MattHh"]	+ ''2007-09-11 22:32:23'' [[nbsp]] i love 49er but you might want to keep an eye out for erroneous late fees. After getting one employee told me they don't check their drop off box late at night or early in the morning (in fact this person said to me they only check it twice every 24 hours, which may not be true for other employees). Therefore, if you are returning your movie the day or night it is due, you should return it in the store just in case (its good for the employees too, so they don't have to carry as many movies in late at night in the cold. They should probably just put a slot in the store wall, it actually wouldn't be that expensive). If the store is closed put the movie in the box and call them the next morning. If you are charged a false late fee and call them on it, some employees may or may not correct their error (even if you have a history of turning in all your movies on time). Based on other people's comments, this was likely the act of one particular employee and not the policy of the store. However, what ever you do do not pay the late fee , they take payment as an admission of guilt, and therefore you can not speak to the manager about it later if you payed the fee. So request to speak to the manager before you pay (of course you should pay it if you did return the movie late...duh). Hopefully this is an isolated incident, but its always a good idea to be careful. --["Users/MattHh"]

To address your point I only said you shouldn't pay a late fee if you turned in the movie on time. If i ever turned in a movie late I would obviously pay the late fee. You can check my history, I have never turned in a movie late, so I obviously don't have a habit of lying or making excuses. Also how can you say no one admitted to checking the bin twice every 24 hours. I'm pretty sure you don't work their every hour of every day, so you don't necessarily know what some other employee said to me. I am sorry if I sounded accusatory, but I was just pointing out what happened to me, and gave advice if others find themselves in a similar situation. I never said that anyone should not patron the store, in fact i started by saying I love it. thanks for sharing your opinion --["MattHh"]

	+ ------ + ''2008-01-31 09:38:23'' [[nbsp]] I'm a fan of 49er and their employees despite having an idea, I think, of what the "complex fees" complaint is about. I blame the signage. The full structure seems only to appear on one sign near the front, which I routinely find myself unable to reference from even half-way across the store, either because the font size of the key info is too small or because it appears in a not self-evident place among other items and heads and fonts of different size. Plus it's not the big sign over the register, and little reminder signs amongst the shelves seem everywhere with the deal price for renting 5 or the basic price dare you to scan for the particular fact you are looking for ("First-run rentals are cheaper through Thursday night?"), but it's only on the white sign at the entrance, which seems to be an introduction to first-time visitors, and so can raise the implication that, if you're a semi-regular, you must be mentally deficient if you find yourself always having to cross the store to take another look at it. Probably the state had more enemies before the recent trend to make public transit maps and rules easier too. Love it or leave it. --["Users/oliverevilo"]

"Take money from the account"? Are you referring to overdue charges being billed to customers' credit cards? First of all, we NEVER charge anyone anything they don't legitimately owe us -- and almost always, if someone contests a late fee or other account charges, we are at the very least willing to listen to their story and give them some benefit of the doubt. Second of all, the terms and conditions that EVERY new customer agrees to when they sign their membership form give us the right to bill credit cards for uncollected charges or unreturned movies, after a certain period of time. It's a right every video store that wants to remain in business reserves -- it's not out of the ordinary at all.

I realize your frustration with our drop box system, but try to remember that we often have only one employee working at a time, especially during the day, so for instance, if it gets busy, that employee can't just take a break from helping a line of customers to go check the box. Also, with regards to the fact that the box should be attached to the store - I agree! In fact, I'd bet good money that ALL of our employees agree. But think about how much money that would cost, and we are a small, independently owned business. Finally, if you're charged a late fee that you believe was incorrect, OF COURSE you shouldn't pay it -- would you go to court with a speeding ticket, pay the full amount, and THEN tell the judge that you want to dispute it?? We try to do our best here but we're all human beings, and human beings do make mistakes. If we charge you a late fee you believe you shouldn't have been charged, just tell us you don't want to pay it and you'd like to talk to the manager.

They dont check their drop off box late at night or early in the morning (in fact they admitted to me they only check it twice every 24 hours). Therefore, if you are returning your movie the day or night it is due, you should return it in the store. If the store is closed put in the box and call them the next morning. If you are charged a false late fee and call them on it, they may or may not correct their error. They are somewhat inconsistent here and it depends on the employee you get. What ever you do do not pay the late fee, they take that as an admission of guilt, request to speak to the manager. They really nead to fix the drop off box system and have their slot attached directly to the store to avoid all these mistakes. --["Users/MattHh"]
