Renting movies by post is a quite easy process, due to something we like to call the web. The customer simply must request a Blu-ray rental account online and uses the online interface to request copies of the films they want and also the order through 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 once they have finished watching them.

There a range of different packages available when renting movies online, that start from as little as Ł3.88 each month for up to two films such a good point month with the customer receiving just one at a time (at time of writing). You will find more costly packages available in which you can keep up to 3 movies at a time whilst borrowing an unlimited number every month.

Whilst the number of movies you can borrow monthly 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.

Additionally, the alternatives at the moment are not so great. Streaming movies via the web is still in its infancy and will be quite costly, also renting via your TV service is comparatively very costly (renting online is half the expense of just one pay per view movie for example).

There is only one person which 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 trials that can last up to 30-days. So my advice will be is to try prior to deciding to buy to make certain you fully utilise the service.
