Title: online dvd hire
Post by: strapping young lad on April 19, 2006, 16:37:28

since hiring a dvd from a certain high street dvd rental place costs a fair bit per dvd, online hiring looks a more cost effective option

i know blockbuster does it, as does tesco i believe

can anyone suggest an online dvd hire company and tell me how much per month and what you get (also the speed at which it comes through the letterbox)

www.screenselect.com

They also have a deal going with Sendit, so any you rent and like you can buy cheaper.

I did find blockbuster to be the best when i tried them all out last year.  The dvd's were sent by return of post and you were emailed to be told what films were coming.

We use Tescos - have 3 at a time for £14.99 (I think?!) per month. Create a list, prioritise them and they send them to you. You keep them for as long as you like, once returned a new DVD is sent out. Couldn't be easier :D

Never had a single problem and we've had 150+ DVD's from them (163 actually :shock: ).

ive not been pulled into this as manyh cubs need a massive montly charge, i know that you can have 3 / 4 dvds a months but i only wath 1 or 2 max a month, so these on line clubs are not worth it for me :(

which is why i opted for the 1 dvd at a time option

Blockbuster must be pretty p****d of with me- they send me around 6 DVD's per week @ £14 per month (I think the first year was only £9.99!) thats about 60p to rent each disk AND that includes posting costs. The trick is not to hold onto them too long to extract maximum value. Often they get posted back the same day they arrived......

For a little more than the cost of rental, you can own recent titles.

www.relax666.com

You must have a PayPal account to purchase DVD films. They are not copies and take about a week to arrive. I've bought may titles from this company and have never had cause to grumble.

I have a multi region player but i swop with my friends and many of them dont  :oops:

are there p&p charges or is the price inclusive of that?
