Online DVD rentals have taken off in the last few years and it's easy to understand why. For less than twenty dollars a month you can rent three movies at a time that will be sent to you in the mail within one to two days, and when your finished watching the movies you simply send them back in a prepaid envelope. It is really easy and convenient for people who don't have the time or patience for a trip to the DVD rental store where they may or may not have the movie you want to rent. You also don't have to stand in line on a Friday night waiting to rent your movies and go home.
While online DVD rentals are easy, there are a few drawbacks, for instance occasionally a movie will get lost or broken while in transit with the postal service. When this happens there is an option to let the rental company know and they will send you a replacement the same or next day.
There are three major Online DVD rental companies Blockbuster, Netflix, and Intelliflix. I am current member of all three, what can I say I like movies, but no matter what you have heard all online movie rental companies are not created equally. Both Blockbuster and Netflix have served me well, and I would not hesitate to recommend either one to anybody.
Intelliflix, well that is another story altogether. I joined Intelliflix because I read on a review site how they where just as good as everybody else and I could save a lot of money by purchasing the annual prepaid plan for $188. That turned out to be an expensive lesson for me, the first few months where fine, it took three to four days to get movies but they where less expensive than the competition. Two months after my purchase the movies stopped coming. I went sixty days with over a hundred movies I wanted to see in my queue, without receiving a single movie. Constant complaints to their customer service department did not accomplish anything, but they did extend my membership a few weeks! They also refused to issue a refund for their annual plans. I even emailed the president of the company, without results or even a response.
So listen, and learn from my experience and never subscribe to an annual plan. My recommendation would be to pick an Online DVD Rental Company with a trial period and see if you like what they have to offer. If their DVD's are delivered in a timely manner, and the selection of DVD's available for rental are enough to make the monthly fee worth it.
