Renting movies by post is a quite easy process, as a result of something we like to call the internet. The customer simply must request a Blu-ray rental account online and uses the internet interface to request copies of the films they want and 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 the customer then must do is pop the films back within the post once they have finished watching them.

There a number of different packages available when renting movies online, that start from as low as Ł3.88 per month for up to two films a month with the customer receiving just one at a time (at time of writing). You will discover more expensive packages available in which you can keep up to 3 movies at a time whilst borrowing an unlimited number per 30 days.

Whilst the range of movies you can borrow every month will never be as many as that will be available over the movie premium channels on television, you may have access to the latest releases much earlier when renting.

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

There is just one person which 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 could be is to try before you buy to make sure you fully utilise the service.
