Sainsbury's online dvd rental - Worth a look!

Advantages: The free trial costs nothing & you get to see some excellent films
Disadvantages: You may not get them in exactly the order you have chosen

...Over the Christmas break, fed up with the usual repeats on the telly, I looked online to see what dvd rental trials were on offer. My eldest son has tried, and continued to subscribe to Tesco dvd rentals. I came across Sainsbury's Dvd rentals, with a free 30 days trial, this is more than double the free trials offered by Tesco and Blockbuster. I followed the simple instructions for joining, gave my email address, a password, plus a delivery address. I also had to leave a card number for future monthly charges, (even though I can cancel before the start of the subscription, ) this is to confirm that I am over 18. I chose about 20 titles from over 44,500, these were picked from various sections under the headings, Top Directors, Fight Movies, Top 100 lists, Quick pics, etc. There are romances, dramas, horror, childrens, si-fi, rock...

Review of Sainsbury's DVD rentals

The best video game rental site on the Internet.

Advantages: Excellent customer service and a speedy turnaround.
Disadvantages: There isn't any!

...Boomerang rentals is just like any other rental company on the Internet, except they specialise in video games. I originally came across Boomerang rentals when I was looking for a website to join so I could rent games. I tried all the usual big rental companies already on the Internet, however they focused mainly on films and to rent games you had to pay much extra. I then realised there are a couple of websites out there who do just rent games and, after some research, I decided to go with Boomerang back in November 2007. I have recieved such an excellent service from Boomerang and I noticed there isn't a review about this website, so I've felt compelled to tell you all about my experience with Boomerangrentals.co.uk. **Design** When you first load up the Boomerang website you will notice a nice black and orange colour scheme...

Tesco DVD Rentals, every little review helps

Advantages: Value for money, product range
Disadvantages: Not easy to navigate site

...Think Blockbusters is too expensive? - Not convinced about paying £22.99 for a blu ray you may only watch once? - Love your Playstation 3 but not got the money to be spending £49.99 on a new release? Me? All of the above...Step forward Tesco DVD rental! Somebody pointed me to a website where I could get a 3 month free trial for the site, 3 months rentals for free! How could I resist? - So I signed up and have continued my membership for the past few months. THE GOOD = - No Late Fee's, return the DVD when you want. - Huge selection, I haven't come across a film that I couldn't order. - Great value for money, it's cheaper than purchasing a blu ray movie. - Able to preorder, add's title to your list automatically. THE BAD - The basic packages are basic in value and content. - Shipping on new...

Radio Rentals or Boxclever

Advantages: Change when you like.
Disadvantages: Changing name

...I have worked for Radio Rentals for over three years and we have just gone through a merger with Granada Home technology. The new name is called Boxclever. We lauch our store in March as Boxclever. I myself has never rented but if i found myself with no money at least you don't need no deposit unlike Currys , Comet etc. All we ask for is one month in advance and an admin fee of £20.00 There is more of a range of goods now than what the previous person said in their opinion. As for "We've never heard of D.VDs) well all I can say is we were waiting until the recordable DVDs were launched. Now that we have them in the shop people complain they are too expensive. Only because they want to pay Bush or Matsui prices, you only get what you pay for. We deal in Sony Wega Flat Screen T.Vs, Sanyo Flat Screen, Panasonic Flatscreen...

Tesco DVD Rental

Advantages: no late fees, free return postage, keep dvds as long as you want
Disadvantages: dvds do not get posted on a saturday, sometimes slow turnaround

...I have been a member of the Tesco DVD Rental Club for a couple of months now. I initially chose this DVD club as it was the cheapest one on the internet at the time (still not sure if any other online DVD club is any cheaper). How it works is you sign up for a free 14 day trial and you can choose to have 1, 2 or 3 dvds at a time. The prices are 1 dvd £7.97 2 dvds £11.47 3 dvds £13.97 The price is per month and includes all returns postage. In fact even if you lose the return envelope there is a freepost address that you can send the dvd back to, so it won't ever cost you a penny. There is a secure internet connection so you can enter credit/debit card details which Tesco ask you to do when you initially start your trial. You can of course cancel these details if you do not wish to go ahead with this. You must select...

Review of Tesco DVD Rentals

There are much better online rental services

Advantages: Unlimited rentals
Disadvantages: Delayed turnaround, dont send favourite choices for months

...Tesco use ScreenSelect to provide their online DVD rental service. I used ScreenSelect for a long time and then they bought out Video Island (who originally provided Tesco's rental service). Since this take over, ScreenSelect have fallen to the same thing that happens when a company gets bigger - customer service goes out of the window, they get complacent and lose the personal touch, and quality of service drops. But the price doesnt. Incidentally - ScreenSelect charge £14.99 for 3 DVD's at any one time - a quid more than Tesco but the DVD's come from the same place! Ha Ha - work that out! You can have either 1, 2 or 3 DVD's at a time depending on the subscription you pay but £13.97 for unlimited rentals per month, with up to 3 DVD's at home at a time is pretty much the going rate. However, the discs you receive are sent based...

Budget car Rental : Belfast Airport

Advantages: Vehicle parking close to the airport
Disadvantages: Poor service

...I booked car for hire through an internet booking agency and paid a small deposit towards the quoted cost. The agency allocated Budget car rental to supply the vehicle and upon arrival at Belfast Airport the Budget desk was easy to find and conveniently located. They had details of my booking and the paperwork process commenced without difficulty. Then the Budget representative became irritated when I declined the excess waiver insurance. I was then presented with a grand total to pay and I asked for details of how it was broken down. I was keen to ensure that my deposit paid to the agency had been deducted from the amount to pay. The representative had increasing difficulty explaining the breakdown of costs. First she said some items were shown VAT inclusive and others as VAT exclusive. Then when pressed she could not tell...
