the Price of Online DVD Rentals

I utilize online DVD rentals for convenience and options as compared to the traditional brick and mortar establishments. I've been using this service for over two years and could not be happier. You order the movies you want online and they will send them directly to you in the mail. There are different price plans depending on how many movies you would like to rent out at a time. I receive 3 movies in my mail at a time and pay approximately $20 a month for the service. With this plan I have the choice of returning the movies to my local brick and mortar branch in exchange for a movie in the store or I can send it back in the its prepaid envelope for the next movie in my queue. The movies are mailed quite quickly once they receive your current selection. I probably average 20-25 movies a month in rentals which comes out to be about $1 per movie. Also the best part is that they don't charge you late fees so you get to keep the movies for as long as you want.

The service has been excellent throughout my experience. The convenience of not always having to go to the video store as well as being forced to watch the movies right away so you don't incur late fees is well worth it. Another benefit of online DVD rentals is that there is usually more movie options available online than in the video store so you can find those hard to find movies. The only drawback I have about the service is since you don't incur late fees you tend to get lazy about watching the movies so they sit in you house for days or weeks before you pop them in your DVD player. That can dramatically reduces the amount of DVDs you receive per month. The service is a great value when compared to video store rentals because the cost breakdown per rental can fall anywhere between $1-2 depending on the service plan and on how many DVDs you receive per month. From my experience I have paid $6-8 dollars per movie rental in the video stores.

Before signing up for Online DVD rentals make sure to ask yourself if you have the time to watch movies. Also review the options that Online retailers offer its customers. Some have the option to stream movies onto your computer and some don't. Some allow you to exchange movies in their brick and mortar stores and some don't have brick and mortar stores for you to exchange them. I wish I had known about this service a few a years earlier because I could have saved a lot of time and money on my video rentals.
