    Was signing up for the trial for Lovefilm, but when I got to the page to enter my credit card details, I noticed it was not a secure page! ???

    Tesco is the only one I have tried and found turn around time 3 days till the weekend when it was longer and no dvds off my priority list.

    Update on Tesco, first week was great, second not so good. Went to cancel free trial and was offered a further two weeks so accepted but this third week included the Bank Holiday and over a week I only got one turn around of three dvds.

    Tried dvds365 and gave up after the trial, as I managed to receive one DVD only but after the week-end and then by Friday the following week I still did not have any new DVD (though I sent back the other one).

    Screenselect was excellent during the trial period but I start to wonder: they are still very fast and the choice is great but since my trial stopped I have not received any movie from my top list, I might give them one more week, and will consider cancelling. By the way I did not give my credit card details but my debit card details. Does it make a difference when I cancel it ?

    One Dvd in two weeks was my experience. I wrote them and voiced my opinion of what a wonderful service they offer. :P

    sorry forgot to mention,,,,,, just finished with Lovefilm and was i-m-p-r-e-s-s-e-d.

    Turnaround started started slow..but then realised the it could be Royal Mail at fault. If I posted disks from my local postbox disks took 2 days to get back.

    If I posted from the city centre or took them to the post office and got a proof of postage (recommended!) they got there next day.

    I question if royal mail staff can be bothered collecting from my local postbox everyday and have spoken to the customer services.

    Back to Lovefilm, when they did get the disks they sent replacements same day.

    I had a disk that didnt arrive and customer services were great... all sorted by them.

    Hello this is my first post - so please be gentle with me.

    i have tried screen select who are very good and also Lovefilm who are a bit slow at turning DVD's around and also dont seem to have new releases. I am currenly on a 30 day trial with https://www.choicerental.com (no code needed for free trial) i am getting 3 dvd's at a time, the turnaround is excellent and i am getting new releases really quickly - e.g i got Kill Bill on 20/04/04 and it was released on 19/04/04. i am going to try moviemine next.
    Watch out for Choicerental. I cancelled before the end of the free trial and was sent an email to confirming this, but they still billed my Visa for £19.99. Got it sorted out after a deal of unnecessary hassle.
