Renting movies by post is a quite easy process, due to something we like to call the net. The customer simply has to request a Blu-ray rental account online and uses the internet interface to request copies of the films they want and also the order by which they might like to receive them.

The films are then dispatched to the customers address with a pre-paid return envelope. All the customer then has to do is pop the movies back within the post when they have finished watching them.

There a number of different packages available when renting movies online, that start from as little as Ł3.88 monthly for up to 2 films a month with the customer receiving just one at a time (at time of writing). You’ll find higher priced packages available in which you can keep up to 3 movies at a time whilst borrowing an unlimited number each month.

Whilst the number of movies you can borrow per 30 days will never be as many as that can be available over the movie premium channels on tv, you will have access to the latest releases much earlier when renting.

In addition, the alternatives at the minute are not so good. Streaming movies via the web is still in its infancy and is very costly, also renting via your TV service is comparatively very costly (renting online is half the cost of just one pay per view movie for example).

There is just one individual that can decide whether renting movies by post is suitable for you, and thankfully to help unsure customers make up their minds most Blu-ray rental companies offer generous free movie trials that can last up to 30-days. So my advice would be is to try prior to deciding to buy to make sure you fully utilise the service.
