I was thinking of signing up to renting DVD's by post, can anyone recommend any particular place?
Thanks

I've used both screenclick (pricey but good service) and busybee (bloody awful!). Screenclick I always got discs in my top 3 and all were good quality.
Switched to Busybee as they were cheaper and I got lower on my list, scratched disks - they have lousy customer service and took a direct debit payment after I cancelled my membership. I wouldn't recommend BB to anyone!

I've tried a couple of these services and found that the postal service is too slow to make the service worthwhile.
All these services are modelled on Netflix in the US. Over there, you'd get a DVD every couple of days if you timed it right. It was more like one a week here (if you were lucky) when I tried a couple of years ago. Maybe things have improved since then.
Yeah, the abysmal service provided by the post office is making these companies something of a non-runner. It has often taken five or six working days for DVDs to arrive despite being Dublin-to-Dublin post. Some look suspiciously mangled when they do finally appear.
This is something I've heard from a few others availing of the service too.
5 - 6 days sounds unlikely - must be an exception rather than the rule.
I myself usually get a 4 day turnaround. If I post one or two DVDs back on Monday or Tuesday, I pretty much always have new ones by Friday.
I'd say it varies alot depending on the post office. Despite dropping the DVDs into the GPO every Monday morning for the past four weeks we've never once managed to receive new ones by Friday!
