You love movies. Thats apparent or you wouldnt be here.
Youve got a nice
system where you can watch your movies.
Thats also apparent. Now comes the fun part, what do you
watch? Because youve seen so many movies, the local movie
rental store may not be giving you a decent supply of films.
Besides, who wants to drive to the movie store, pick through
the (possibly) meager selection, wait in line, drive home,
and still be saddled with late fees because you didnt want
to do that all over again in a few days?
In steps the online movie rental page
. No driving, no late
fees, and a selection to die for. Plus, for a flat fee you
rent what you want as often as you want. Theres no doubt
that for the busy (or lazy), online movie rentals are the
way to see every movie on your must see list.
Just in case youre unfamiliar with online movie rentals,
heres a brief summary. For a monthly fee, you may rent a
certain number (many times, unlimited) of movies per month.
You may only have a few DVDs out at any one measure
, but as
soon as you send one back, the company will automatically
send you the next movie on your preference list. Almost
always, there are no late fees. You might
hold the movies as
long as you want, but realize that you do not
get new movies
until you return the old ones.
Here are some of the most common questions (and their
answers) concerning online movie rentals.
How do I pick movies? The DVD movie rental web site will
list all of their available DVDs to rent. When you open an
account, you set up a preference list of 10-50 titles that
you would like to see. Setting up the preference list allows
the movie rental business
to understand
what to send you next,
without having to check with you every measure
. If the first
selection on your preference list isnt available, you will
receive the highest DVD on the list that is available.
What do I pay for shipping? All of the companies that I
have reviewed pay the postage to send you the movies.
Likewise, they all send a return envelope so that you might
return the DVD without having to pay for postage.
How long before the movies arrive? Each company has a
different policy. Depending on where you are located in
relation to one of the companys distribution centers, the
shipping might
take anywhere from 1 to 6 days.
How long may I keep the movies? The simple answer is, as
long as you want. Thats the beauty of online DVD movie
rental. Whenever you return a movie, the business
will
automatically send you the next movie on your list. As noted
before, while there are no return deadlines, for as long as
you keep a movie, youll never get a replacement for that
movie. Likewise, because you pay a flat monthly fee, the
more generally you exchange one movie for another, the higher
the worth of the service.
As you might
see there are a number of advantages to using an
online rental service. With monthly plans starting at just
over $10, youre sure to find a deal that fits your budget.
Just to recap, online movie rental services might be for you
if: -You rent more than 3 or 4 movies per month. -You tend
to rack up late fees for your DVD rentals. -You are looking
for movies that your local rental store doesnt carry. -You
may plan ahead just a bit in order to get the movies you
want at the right measure
. -Youre too busy or lazy to drive
to the local rental store.
