DO NOT go with lovefilm! i was with them when they were screenselect. they were excellent. quick turnaround and great selection - and you'd normally get what you want
when they merged with lovefilm, i could almost list the massive cost cutting measures that came in. awful customer services but worst was they now purposely slow the turnaround.
if you were to get 2 DVDs sent on a monday, you'd watch them by say tuesday or wednesday and get them back into the post. takes a day to get to them. they take an extra day to turn it around (screenselect used to be same day). so its now thursday or friday. they post them out again, you should hopefully get them in time for the weekend. but dont forget, they dont work on saturdays.
in practical terms, this one extra day they take to turnaround your rentals has a massive effect on the number of DVDs you get over the course of the month.
i decided to cancel and called up, they offered me 3 months for the price of 1 so i took it. however i still had the same problem for that period so decided to cancel again - when they again gave me the same deal (so 6 months rentals for 2 months subscription charge) but if you're paying full price go for blockbuster simply because you will get a lot more DVDs in the month0 -
It all depends on how big your list is, I have over 40 titles in my list with Love Film and get 2 discs at a time FOR FREE for 3 months.
Currently getting through 4 a week.
Really can't complain, a very happy bunny here0 -
Im with tescos 2dvds at a time package at £11.97.
Not had any problems at all. Generally get through 4 a week if i make an effort to watch them!
Find the site very easy to navigate with many sub categorys like 'most popular', 'top 100' etc.
You can always swap and change anyway and make the most of the offers each company have, like 3 months free or 3 for 1 month etc, as there is generally not contractual period you have to be with them.0
