    Hi

    I am currently with Lovefilms on a free trial service. Why was it worse DVD company?

    Thanks

  • I just find they are rubbish at sending them quickly, more often that not i get films at the bottom of my list/low priority ones, and have had several problems with disks, customerservices etc

  • I actually liked LOVEFILM. Screen Select, however, were crap, well their customer service anyway. I ended up being charged £14.99 after my free trial even though I sent the DVDs back a week beforehand. And at the time the tariff I chose was £9.99, not £14.99!
  • Screenselect have now been taken over by lovefilm
    If this post helped you Please say thanks :)

    hi, i have used a different card!
    please explain?
    thanks
  • What have you changed? Just the card?

    When I did my current trial (lovefilm), I used a different card, and put number 35a (rather than number 35) as my address. I changed my email address, and that was it.
