Renting movies by post is a very easy process, thanks to something we like to call the internet. The customer simply must 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 in 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 low as Ł3.88 each month for up to 2 films a month with the customer receiving just one at a time (at time of writing). You’ll find more costly packages available the place you can keep up to 3 movies at a time whilst borrowing an unlimited number per month.

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

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

There is just one person who 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 could be is to try before you buy to ensure you fully utilise the service.
