Renting movies by post is a fairly simple process, as a result of 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 movies they want as well as the order in which they will 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 films back in the post when they have finished watching them.

There a range of different packages available when renting movies online, that start from as little as Ł3.88 per 30 days for up to two films a month with the customer receiving just one at a time (at time of writing). You can find higher priced packages available where you can keep up to 3 movies at a time whilst borrowing an unlimited number each month.

Whilst the number of movies you may borrow a month will never be as many as that will be available throughout the movie premium channels on tv, you shall have access to the-latest releases much earlier when renting.

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

There is just one person that can decide whether renting movies by post is right 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 would be is to try before you buy to make certain you fully utilise the service.
