mikesd81 writes "Bostom.com reports Netflix Inc., the largest US mail-order movie-rental service, may suufer a cut in profit if the US Postal Service starts charging extra to manually sort the envelopes that carry its DVDs. An audit prepared by the Postal Service's Inspector General last month recommended charging one unidentified company 17 cents per envelope for labor costs. Citigroup analyst Tony Wible, who said in a note to investors Tuesday that the company is Netflix, estimated the charge might reduce profit per subscriber to 35 cents from $1.05. Citigroup analyst Tony Wible advises investors to buy Blockbusters shares because their DVD envelopes don't have the problem. As you call may recall Blockbuster settled a patent lawsuit with Netflix over this. Netflix says they will change the envelopes if needed. But is this Blockbuster's chance for revenge?"
