    5 Stars Love films? You'll love this one... 10/02/2006
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Gaining £3.49 for watching dvds! Good selection...

    Disadvantages Disadvantages The trial has to end :-(

    As I sit here typing on my laptop, Carrie from Sex and the City comes to mind. Why? Not because I'm as attractive as she is (I wish) but for the last week or so I've watched the Sex and the City series 1 and 2. It may seem slightly bizarre watching them all so close together so let me explain to you why… Recently I've heard so much about the DVD rental promotions month trials. As a member of Rpoints I saw an advantage to this. Not only could I sign up to a service for a month, but I could gain £3.50. I truly had nothing to lose, my only concern was cancelling the trial at the end of the month ... more

    4 Stars Love film...? 30/07/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheaper than conventional rental stores. No late fees.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Dependant on Royal Mail...

    We all know what a pain movie & game rental can be - you trek down to your local Blockbuster (or other local video store), only to find you've lost your membership card & have to sign up again (at which point you probably need a utility bill, a credit card statement, a driving licence etc etc). Then you wander round trying to suss out the offers, eventually find something you vaguely want to watch, take it home.....and then forget to take it back, meaning you rack up a big fine..... What a hassle! However, with the invention of internet movie rental sites, such as Lovefilm, rental need not be ... more

    4 Stars lovefilm.com I love films and games too! 05/06/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Lots of choice, over 65,000 DVDs to choose from!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some packages are a little expensive & I've heard a few complaints in the past.

    lovefilm.com is a subscription based service that allows you to rent games or DVDS. It works quite well really and is very simple to use. You sign up to the service, you will get either a one month or a free month promotion depending on what offer they are currently advertising, it may also be worth looking on ebay or similar sites to see if the 3 month free subscriptions are being sold cheaply. Once you are signed up to the service you need to give your address details and your billing details so that they can start to charge you once the free trial period has expired. There are a whole host ... more

    2 Stars Who wants to watch disk 2????? 10/07/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages You get a free trial

    Disadvantages Disadvantages far too slow on postage, slow responses to emails

    I watch films quite regularly and so you can imagine my happiness when a friend sent me links to various websites offering free trials for renting DVDs over the internet. I had already tried a range of sites when a friend gave me a voucher for a months free rental on the "Lovefilm" website. I had a look at their site and my first impression was that it was clear enough and well sectioned but wasn't as "pleasant" to look at. I had a good look round as I always do checking out the vital information before ever starting a trial. My top five tips would have to be: 1. How much is it - I know it is ... more

    4 Stars Online DVD rental at lovefilm.com 09/12/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great selections of DVDs, 1st 3 weeks free trial, fast delivery and reasonably good price!

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Quite a strict contract. Be sure to read them thoroughly. Foreign films selection is wide but not "very" wide.

    I believe lovefilm is the best online DVD rental you can get. --------------------------------FREE TRIAL-----------------------------------​------- First of all, you can start your free trial for 3 weeks for new subscribers. - i got a free trial for 3 weeks. You will however become a paying member automatically at the end of your free trial. This is because prior to enjoying the free trial, you will register with them along with your bank details (debit or credit card) so that's why you will be automatically charged (1st charge) after your free trial. If you decided not to continue (or don't ... more

    4 Stars I love LoveFilm.com 03/02/2008
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good value for money, no hassle at all

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Yuo can't choose a specific movie at any one time.

    I love LoveFilm. It is good value for money and gives you something to watch when there's nothing on the telly! Basically the way it works is you log on to their website and list all the movies you want to see. Then they send them to you. You can't specify exactly the order in which they will come, so if all your mates want to come round a week next Wednesday to watch Terminator 7 then they might have sent you Bambi that week so your evening might not go quite the way you expected. But you can give your list a high, medium or low priority so if they've got your high priority film then they'll ... more

    2 Stars Lovefilm - milk the special offers and RUN! 04/07/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages Massive selection of titles, excellent opening offers

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very poor service for "heavy users" after first few weeks.

    I have to say that I haven't done badly out of Lovefilm at all. I first tried Lovefilm at the start of 2006 via a 3-week free trial. It was the 2nd of such trials that I had taken out in my quest for free online DVD rentals. 3 discs at a time! Brilliant! When the final week came I simply de-selected all the remaining titles in my wish list and returned the discs in good time. But I didn't close the account because they sent me an e-mail offering two months for the price of one. I chose three discs at a time for £14.99 a month, and it was a great service. I got loads of discs in that two month ... more

    1 Star Don't go with Love Film for online DVD rental 01/10/2007
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages good service during free trial

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Difficult to cancel membership, don't get top choices, poor Customer service

    The first month was great - too good, in fact - and there I was parading the virtues of online DVD rental and how perfect my supplier Love Film was. Oh dear, how wrong was I. Don't let the '2 weeks free trial' con you into thinking you're getting a good deal! I was with them for four months (using their £14.99 a month package which allows you to receive an unlimited amount of DVDs with two at home at any given time), and for the final three months, I never once received a film I actually wanted. At one point I received DVDs in the post, looked at them, and sent them back immediately because I ... more

    3 Stars DVD Rental Online? Are you SURE!! 04/08/2005
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Dont have to visit the Shop to Choose your DVD, Search at your Leisure

    Disadvantages Disadvantages No Customer Service, all auto messages. No Customer Goodwill. Slightly Expensive.

    I joined LoveFilm about a Month ago when I seen an advert on a website offering a 14 Day Free Trial. I thought why not, see what its like. I recently lowered my Sky package so thought if it is OK then I will get this instead. I found the initial sign up on the website fairly simple and was soon able to start choosing my DVD's. I seleceted about 10 DVD's and placed them in my 'Rental Que', and then eagily waited for the DVD's to arrive. When I slected my ten DVD's, I placed them all in priority order, the 1st DVD being the one I wanted first, neadless to say when I recieved my rentals and I ... more

    1 Star Don't ever try Lovefilm.com 13/06/2006
    User doesn't recommend the product

    Advantages Advantages movie trailers on site

    Disadvantages Disadvantages not honest, very bad costumer service

    I wanted to try a DVD delivery service, and chose Lovefilm. At first I was very surprise to get my first 3 titles the following day. After I watched and enjoy the movies, I sent them back to Lovefilm and then the problems started: It took the next DVD's more then 10 days to arrive, so I decided to cancel my account before my free trial is ending, -not too easy at all. In order to cancel an account you need to return all DVD's, but what would you do if you didn't get them? -contact them and let them know you probably think…..NO!! Please note that a contact email address or telephone number is ... more
