Yes, Netflix did pay the postage for shipping CDs out of the fee you
paid them.
However, the mailman drove over roads provided and maintained by
taxpayers to place that CD into a mailbox that you bought, owned, and
maintained. If the glut of CDs had required bigger postal vehicles,
then Netflix would not have bought bigger vehicles for the postal
service. If the CD didn't fit in your mailbox, then Netflix would not
have paid for a bigger mailbox for you.
