What you should always do before jumping into and start using a new service or product, is read the terms that you must accept, in order to buy the service.
This is important because the different video rental and retail companies out there have different plans, on how they are offering you their services. Now a days the normal way of online video rental, consist of you first selecting and joining a company. Then you tell them what type of movies you like, or you might tell them specifically what movies you would like to rent. Then the videos will be mailed to your home, where you will watch the movies, and send them back afterwards.
This is all well and good, but then comes the payment. Usually you have to pay a monthly fee, that will also include the shipment costs. It varies how many videos you can rent at a time. There are companies that offer you unlimited video rentals within each month, but then you usually have to pay more to get these types of memberships. It must be clarified that this type, usually have a limited number of videos on which you can have at once though. I suggest reading closely on this part in the terms of your selected company. I generally suggest choosing a service that has this unlimited program policy, it is such a shame to be denied to rent a movie. Just because you have already rental 20 videos in a month for instance.
Now lets discuss some more on video rental and retail subjects. Lets continue with some tips on where to actually rent videos. At the moment on of the biggest video rental companies in USA is Netflix.Netflix has a normal retail store, along with its online possibilities. It was established in 1998 and has a collection of 85,000 titles, and have passed 6.7 million subscribers. Its safe to say that they dominate in the marketplace. Prizes are from $4.99 to $23.99 monthly. As they have 100 shipping points in the US, that means that they are able to ship the dvd to you within one business day. This is a great offer. If it isn't fast enough to get the dvd at your doorstep, they also offer 5 hours of videos instantly on your computer.
An other company that are huge in the video rental and retail business is Blockbuster Inc. In fact it is one of the largest chains of video rental business in the world. They have a very similar offer as netflix. You give them a list of your movie choices and they will ship them to your door. It cant get any simpler really. They claim to have no hidden or late fees on their video rental service (Same as Netflix).
The prizes go from 8.99 to 17.99. What probably most people dont know about Blockbuster memberships, is that online subscribers gets discounts on online retail purchases. If your serious about video rental and retail in general, as you should be since you have come to this blog. Then the advice is to join one of these to companies, as their offers have become really good for just about anyone wanting to rent videos cheap and easy. If I had to decide I would go with Netflix, they have a feature rich website, incredible selection of videos, a video and movie recommendation service, and member ratings. You just cant go wrong with Netflix, also I have heard and read much positive reviews of their services. Its time to get serious on video rental online! The offline old video retail stores are not needed anymore.
