The Following Is An Old Review Of The Now Closed DVD Rental Company Mailbox Movies Which Merged With ScreenSelect
Mailboxmovies.com, launched in 2000, is a full service UK DVD rental company which offers customers the chance to rent DVD films by monthly subscription or on a per title basis as required. In addition, video game rentals are also included in your selection of rental package with Playstation, PS2, X-Box and Gamecube games available.
We found Mailbox Movies replied quickly to our support requests and has one of the best ranges of subscription packages available giving you more flexibility in tailoring the cost of movie rental to your level of viewing. For light users a mere £5.47 a month makes for fantastic value whilst those allergic to sunlight will be itching to get their sticky paws on the 5 at a time subscription with various subscription levels in between offering unlimited and capped movie rental plans. Mailbox Movies is also one of the few online DVD rental companies which gives you the option to rent individual titles without subscription with their pay per rental option.
Mailbox Movies now also offers a free 14 day trial of their online movie rental subscription service so new members can see whether the services lives up to their expectations. In addition, there are some great savings to be had for annual subscribers.
Mailbox Movies claims to stock over 27,000+ titles which is vastly more than what your local video store has to offer and more than enough movies to keep you renting happily. Hardcore film buffs might do better to look towards Lovefilm or ScreenSelect if obscure foreign films or otherwise hard to come by titles are likely to dominate your rental list as both claim to stock a full 7,000+ more titles than Mailbox Movies.
In all, Mailbox Movies ranks as one of the better rent by mail companies, offering a broad range of services and subscription packages, excellent customer support and good value for the services offered. They are also the only movie rental by mail company which offers both DVD rentals and video game rentals under the same roof and in the same subscription package.
