Renting movies by post is a fairly simple process, thanks to something we like to call the internet. The customer simply must request a Blu-ray rental account online and uses the online interface to request copies of the movies they want and also the order in which they might like to receive them.

The movies are then dispatched to the customers address with a pre-paid return envelope. All of the customer then has to do is pop the movies back in 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 per 30 days for up to 2 films a month with the customer receiving only one at a time (at time of writing). You’ll find higher priced packages available where you can keep up to 3 movies at a time whilst borrowing an unlimited number every month.

Whilst the range of see movies online you can borrow monthly will never be as many as that are available through the movie premium channels on television, you may have access to the-latest releases much earlier when renting.

Also, the alternatives at the minute are not so good. Streaming movies via the internet is still in its infancy and is fairly 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 only one individual whom 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 trials that may last up to 30 days. So my advice would be is to try before you decide to buy to make sure you fully utilise the service.
