Renting movies by post is a quite easy process, thanks to something we like to call the net. The customer simply must request a Blu-ray rental account online and uses the internet interface to request copies of the films they want as well as the order by which they would like to receive them.
The movies are then dispatched to the customers address with a pre-paid return envelope. All of the customer then must do is pop the movies back within the post when they have finished watching full movies online them.
There a number of different packages available when renting movies online, that start from as little as Ł3.88 monthly for up to two films a month with the customer receiving only one at a time (at time of writing). There are actually 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 may borrow monthly will never be as many as which are available through the movie premium channels on television, you may have access to the-latest releases much earlier when renting.
Moreover, the alternatives at the moment are not so good. Streaming movies via the internet is still in its infancy and is very costly, also renting via your TV service is comparatively quite expensive (renting online is half the price of just one pay per view movie for example).
There is just one individual that 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 may last up to 30-days. So my advice will be is to try before you decide to buy to make sure you fully utilise the service.
