feedback on easyCinema DVD rental please - and cheapest DVD rental club?

Tarquinius

Hi,

No idea if this is the right place for this post ???

I'm thinking of joining a DVD rental club. Amazon / LoveFilm are doing their basic 1 DVD at a time (up to 2 per month) package for £3.99 which looks to be the cheapest

I notice that Amazon and/or Lovefilm aren't on the main price comparison table on the main article - is there a reason for this - has there been poor feedback on their service, maybe?

However I'm more tempted by easyCinema, as it doesn't have a monthly set fee - you just pay for what you use (works out at £1.99 per DVD)

I'm wondering if anyone can comment on how good easyCinema's service is? I did find one post on this which seemed to give positive feedback - just wondered about others' experiences before I take the plunge - are you happy with them?

(I'll do it via quidco - £4 off for easyCinema I think).

Thanks

One more point - I can see that easyCinema uses 2nd class post for the dispatch and return of discs. I can't see on Amazon / LoveFilm's site however whether they use first or second class. I guess this could make quite a difference to how quickly discs are received?

Does anyone know whether Amazon / Lovefilm use 1st or 2nd class?

Lovefilm always turn up the next day from dispatch so assume 1st class.

i use easy cinema as i dont watch enough dvds to warrent a monthly rental.

i have had no problems with them. always have dvds in stock, quick to post out.
you have 3 months in which to use up your credits. i usually top up with 4 credits (£7.96) and just use them up in time.

Hi I use Amazon to rent my DVDs and apart from the discs sometimes being so badly damaged they will not work (but Amazon lets you mark it as so on their site and even give you a choice to get another or not, either way whatever you pick the DVD is classed as not really on your rent list)

Amazon post their DVDs vie first class and the return is first class as well. I have rarely had any problems with them apart from above and I have been using them for over a year now, going on two years. Easy to deal with and great for dealing with any problems you could have. If nothing else they are REALLY worth a try. Good luck if you decide not to go with Amazon.

I signed up to Easy as I didn't want to pay out on a regular contract. They used to use first class post, now it's second class both ways which is a pain, so now I buy 10 credits at a time so I can have 3 discs at home at a time. They always despatch quickly, and it's much better value than paying out each month for a 3 disc at a time package.
