Blockbuster Online has just opened eight new distribution centers across the United States. This latest expansion brings their distribution network for online rentals up to a total of 30 facilities, tripling distribution capacity since Blockbuster Online launched in August 2004, just 9 months ago.

Blockbuster Online is also planning to integrate its online and store-based operations and expects to begin fulfilling online orders through its store network by the end of the year. The goal being as mentioned above, enhanced delivery times and increased cost efficiencies. At the same time, they have increased their online rental library to more than 40,000 titles.
