Netflix opens up Butte distribution center

Now I need an envelope from Butte for my collection.

From the Montana News Station

The DVD rental company Netflix has opened a distribution center in Butte.

Netflix ships about 1.6 million DVD's nationwide each day with an estimated 10,000 DVD's now coming out of the Butte location on East Iron Street. This is the 46th center for Netflix.

The company was founded on quick home delivery of movies and Corporate Communication Director Steve Swazy says that this center will help serve the state of Montana by providing next day delivery.

"Prior to this Montana was served out of Denver facility with some service out of

Spokane and Boise, but mostly out of Denver and it was a two or three day shipping because of that. So we think that people in Butte should get their DVD's as fast as people in Los Angeles or New York or anyplace else so we came up to Butte to open this distribution center."

The new center has created six new jobs in Butte.
