How DVD Rental Clubs Work
Online rent-by-mail clubs are companies that rent out DVD's. You
can easily search through thousands of titles and select your
rentals by simply clicking on the 'Rent It' button.
Your DVD's will be added to your rental queue or "wish list".
Your rental list is processed several times a day, and will
immediately ship the items in your queue to you as soon as a
returned movie arrives.
You will usually receive an email confirming your order and an
additional email confirming the exact shipping time. Your DVD's
will soon arrive in your mailbox in a prepaid, pre-addressed custom
envelope for easy return.

DVD Renting Tips
Keep
a long wish list
Keep at least 20 movies in your rental queue. If a movie is unavailable,
the rental company will normally ship out the next one on your
list. By keeping a long list, you won't miss out on having a new
movie sent out to you after you have returned one you've just
watched.
Rent close to home
The closer the shipping warehouse to your location, the faster
you will be able to receive and return movies. Some clubs have
multiple warehouses for shipping orders to accommodate members
across the states. If the shipping times are a factor for you,
find a rental club close to home. Visit our company page to find
one nearest you.
Develop a schedule
By developing a consistent schedule, you will get the most movies
out of your monthly fee (if you sign up for this type of service).
For instance, make a plan to keep movies no longer than a week.
If you know you will not be watching the movie again, put it in
the mailbox as soon as possible.
You may be limited to how many movies you currently have out
at one time, but most plans don't have a limit on how many you
can actually rent during the month.
Alert! Mail theft is a rising concern.
If you live in a high traffic area and use a typical unsecured
mail box, take note. Mail theft is a problem in some areas.
It's relatively easy for someone to drive by and take your mail
in hopes of acquiring something of importance or value. We recommend
using a secure mailbox when returning DVD's to protect yourself
from this kind of theft.
