I've only received a DVD instead of Blu-Ray once in four years. Make sure your queue is correct.
Follow Ups:
Here is a partial list from my queue of shows that ARE AVAILABLE IN BLU-RAY, YET NETFLIX ONLY HAS DVD:
'House, Season 6'.
'Supernatural, Season 5'.
'Smallville, Season 9'.
'Sherlock - the BBC series'.
'Doctor Who, Season 5'.
These are ALL AVAILABLE ON BLU-RAY, but NETFLIX ONLY HAS THE DVD.
This is lying and stealing, period. 'Give us five dollars extra a month, and we'll send you blu-rays'. BULLSHIT. My bill for 4-at-a-time plus blu-ray will be $33 come January and I DON'T GET THE DAMN BLU-RAYS.
I just signed up for Blockbuster, twenty bucks a month, 3-at-a-time and NOTHING EXTRA FOR BLU-RAYS. My blockbuster queue is ALL BLU-RAYS.
Ten years I've been with Netflix but now they are just lying to their customers.

Is that those BDs on your list are all relatively new, and they may not have gotten them yet.

No, THEY ARE NOT GETTING THEM IN LATER. THEY ARE NOT 'NEW'.
Netflix keeps just enough blu-rays around to say the have them and to charge an up-charge.
I now have 25 blu-rays in my Blockbuster queue, old and new, NONE OF WHICH ARE AVAILABLE AT NETFLIX.
If netflix just said, 'hey, we're not into blu-rays, too bad' and then didn't charge extra for them I'd have no problem with them.
But charging extra then having an absolutely pathetic selection, and - here's the killer, going from blu-ray (for example, 'Smallville Season 8' to dvd 'Smallville Season 9') is what really blows.

They're slow on shipping. Netflix is outstanding on that. They get a movie on Tuesday, you get the next movie in your queue on Wednesday.
But their blu-ray selection is outstanding. Every single title I couldn't find at Netflix, they have at Blockbuster. And 5 times a month you can take a disc back to a store for an immediate replacement.
Netflix with 4 discs (I was grandfathered in at a special program) with blu-ray was going to cost me $33.00 a month come January. I cut my Netflix down to $15.00 and Now I pay BB $20. So for $35, an extra two bucks a month, I can get the blu-ray selection of BB and the speedy shipping and streaming video from Netflix.
Still, I'm a simple person. I'd be far happier to give the money to one company. But Netflix got too clever for themselves by far on this deal.

Where exactly has Netflix lied to you? Before you answer, remember that lying means telling an intentional falsehood. Can you link to a Netflix page where the company claims to have all of those shows on Blu - Ray? Or a Netflix page where they claim to stock every Blu - Ray disc available anywhere?
You seem to be operating under the assumption that your Netflix subscription means that you can rent any disc available anywhere on earth, and not just the ones that Netflix has chosen to include in its inventory.
Who gives a damn if House is in BD or DVD anyway? It's not like picture quality matters with stuff like that; it's not like it's El Cid, South Pacific, Lawrence of Arabia, Ben Hur or something.
Of course you should get what you're paying for even though it may be wrongheaded.
