Renting movies by post is a fairly simple process, due to something we like to call the web. The customer simply has to request a Blu-ray rental account online and uses the on-line interface to request copies of the films they want and also the order by which they can 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 when they have finished watching them.

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

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

On top of that, the alternatives at the minute are not so good. Streaming movies via the net is still in its infancy and is fairly costly, also renting via your TV service is comparatively quite expensive (renting online is half the price of just one pay per view movie for example).

There is just one individual whom 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 new movie 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.
