Renting movies by post is a quite easy process, because of something we like to call the web. The customer simply has to request a Blu-ray rental account online and uses the on-line interface to request copies of the movies they want as well as the order by which they would like to receive them.

The films are then dispatched to the customers address with a pre-paid return envelope. All of the customer then must do is pop the films 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 low as Ł3.88 each month for up to two films a month with the customer receiving just one at a time (at time of writing). You can find more costly packages available in which you can keep up to 3 movies at a time whilst borrowing an unlimited number a month.

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

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

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