Which DVD Rental uses the smallest envelopes!?

I'm currently with screenselect and everytime they deliver a DVD I have to go to the post office to collect it because it's too wide to fit in my letter slot!

There was one I used a few years back which used more compact plastic envelopes; this may be better.

Otherwise, can anyone comment? It would help if they were good too, I'm not too happy with screenselects service anyway.

Thanks.

    I use LoveFILM through CD-Wow - very small, square, just big enough to cover the DVD disk.

  • Tescos use same sort of envelopes as Lovefilm (sometimes the return address IS Lovefilm - not worked that one out).
    Pretty good service, turn round time is good, and you get your priority discs in a reasonable time usually.

    I've just cancelled screenselect which I wasn't impressed by, but oddly they posted to me in envelopes that were only just bigger than the CD.
  • amazon envelopes are only a little bit bigger than the dvds themselves

    I guess my letter box is quite narrow. The screenselect envelopes i'm getting are square paper. It's the seal on either side of the envelope that makes the envelope two or so inches too wide to fit through. The plastic ones tend to be the same width as the DVD disc case as it is a "wrap-around" envelope.

    Is there a thread somewhere on DVD rentals? I've had screenselect and Lovefilm, and I'm pretty sure they are behind most of the others, what options are left for me?
  • Perhaps you could attach a bigger letter box to the wall outside your house. I am with lovefilm and have been with screenselect. Both envelopes are square and just fit the DVD inside....so there are not going to be any smaller ones around I don't think......good luck anyway.
