Now, with the online version of Blockbuster Movie Rental you no longer have to drive to rent your next movie. Instead of a car or a bicycle you need a computer and internet. Now all you need do is surf on over to Blockbuster Online or Blockbuster Total Access Online where they provide you with a selection of over 85,000 DVDs of films along with TV shows, games and more of which you can rent, buy and download. You can try out their movie rentals for free by signing up for Blockbusters free trial. In about 1-2 days your rented movie, television show or game will be delivered right to your mailbox. After you have watched your movie rentals you can either ship them back or drop them off at your local Blockbuster Video store. There are never any late fees which is awesome.
The concept of online movie rental has been around since a company called Movie Track began it in December 1999. Whenever a good thing arrives it does not take long for others to copy it. Now movie lovers have several great sites to choose from where they would like to rent their DVDs. Companies like Netflix, Amazon.com and Blockbuster Total Access are fighting it out for our movie rental dollars which can only be good for the consumers. A byproduct of this can be seen already in free trial offers, no late fees, free shipping and other special offers. Although Blockbuster came in late to the online movie rental business, they are putting up a strong showing and even have a leg up on the competition because they are the only online movie rental company that has brick and mortar stores. Allowing movie rental customers to drop their rented DVD's off at the Blockbuster Video store or even exchange them for other DVD's instead of mailing them back is a major benefit to customers.
Most of the top online movie rental companies like Blockbuster generally have a limit on the number of DVD's that customers can rent at one time, but do allow customers to keep the rented DVDs for as long as they want. Once the customer returns the rented movies, a new set of DVDs which are chosen by the customer is delivered to their mailbox.
Movie rental customers are generally billed monthly, but there usually other plans that are offered. For example:
With Blockbuster Total Access Premium, you can get an unlimited number of movies delivered to you through the mail, as well as getting free unlimited in-store movie exchanges per billing month. You can also receive a discount on game rentals, with the exchange of your Online DVD at participating Blockbuster Video store locations.
With Blockbuster Total Access, you can exchange your online movie rentals for free in-store movie rentals, up to the monthly limit set by your movie rental plan. Or, you can choose to receive a discount on game rentals with the exchange of your online DVD envelope at participating Blockbuster Video store locations.
Online DVD rental is a growing business and the top companies like Blockbuster Online, Netflix and Amazon.com would do well to pay attention to what movie rental customers really want, which is: pricing, variety of titles, speed of delivery and the overall quality of service that is being provided to the consumer.
