Renting movies by post is a fairly simple process, because of something we like to call the web. 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 in which they will like to receive them.
The films are then dispatched to the customers address with a pre-paid return envelope. All of the customer then has to do is pop the movies back within 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 a month for up to 2 films a month with the customer receiving just one at a time (at time of writing). There are 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 per 30 days will never be as many as that are available through the movie premium channels on television, you shall have access to the-latest releases much earlier when renting.
Furthermore, the alternatives at the minute are not so good. Streaming movies via the net is still in its infancy and is quite costly, also renting via your TV service is comparatively quite expensive (renting online is half the expense of just one pay per view movie for example).
There is just one individual 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 movies online trials that may last up to 30-days. So my advice could be is to try before you buy to ensure you fully utilise the service.
