Renting movies by post is a fairly simple process, because of something we like to call the net. The customer simply must request a Blu-ray rental account online and uses the online interface to request copies of the movies they want as well as the order through which they will like to receive them.

The films are then dispatched to the customers address with a pre-paid return envelope. All the customer then has to do is pop the movies 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 a month for up to 2 films a month with the customer receiving just one at a time (at time of writing). You will find more expensive packages available in which you can keep up to 3 movies at a time whilst borrowing an unlimited number a month.

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

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

There is just one person who 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 will last up to 30 days. So my advice would be is to try before you buy to make sure you fully utilise the service.
