DVD Rental by Post
Hi, I was just wondering, are there any DS members still renting DVDs by post from lovefilm?, if so, is there service any good these days?, has it improved off 2 years ago, when I was a customer of lovefilm some DVDs arrived cracked, snapped or scratched beyond use, maybe it was just bad luck for me?

I had a free trial years back, out of the ten free films, one never arrived, one they claimed never got back to them, and one had the totally wrong film in the DVD box.
I thought 30% failure rate, in an area with an EXTREMELY good postal service was pretty pathetic
But apart from that, my major concern was not having enough time to watch the films.
Same with me, for the most part. If I return one on Monday, I'll have a new one on Wednesday. I have probably close to 50 items on my list, and I I receive the newly released Blu Rays often. Nothing but good things to say about their service.
My priority films are always sent too.
If anything I was doing the rental company a huge favour as the discs would always go back to them in prestine condition.
They're more than a bit thick when you e-mail them though. Person the other day said they have no record of 'Skyfall' when I asked about it being unavailable to rent.
So, you can't rent Skyfall from LoveFilm? Cracking business model, Gromit. I take it LoveFilm still doesn't stock Universal titles either?
With Blockbuster having gone to the wall after putting all the small town independents out of business over the last 10 years, I guess it's all aboard the Pirate ship.
Universal films are available, but a month or 2 after release. A few others studios are like that as well.
Skyfall doesn't have a release date on the site, and neither does Taken 2, which is already out to buy.
Not sure if they are taking on new accounts, but upto today, they are "allocating stock" so a phone call in the morning to find out what is going on......try get my account re-credited.
More annoying when you get halfway through the movie before it jams up.
