![Netflix By Mail Ends Its 25-Year Run](https://cdn.magzter.com/1392399474/1685105472/articles/NiJ--zFlE1686739407417/NETFLIX-BY-MAIL-ENDS-ITS-25YEAR-RUN.jpg)
Subscribers will receive their last monthly bill in August, and the company will accept returned discs until October 27. Mail subscriptions will be automatically canceled. Customers who stream will not be affected.
Netflix says that it will delete your queue, rental and shipping history, ratings, reviews and taste preferences. Preserved data will include your name and login, DVD billing history and charges for unreturned discs.
