DVD Online Club - Why I Went With the Best and Cheapest Way to Rent Movies
By Anthony Kristovich III
Out: Driving to the local video store to
rent a video.
In: Visiting a DVD online club to rent a
video to have it sent to your home effortlessly.
Out: Waiting in long lines at the local video
store.
In: Choosing which movies to have sent to
you from a website in moments.
Out: Not finding the video you really
wanted at the video store, the whole reason
you went there. That, and having to find
a "good enough" movie.
In: Choose the movie you really want
among tens of thousands of choice. The
one you want, everytime.
These things describe why I switched
to a DVD online club. From my experience,
everytime I went to the local video Blockbuster,
I never got the movie I really wanted.
The new releases were always out for weeks,
and you had to practically stalk the store
to get one when it came back in. That,
and recently I had the urge to watch an
old movie, Karate Kid 1 (the original
where he learned karate). After going
there a couple of times, I found out someone
had kept the video out and maybe at some
point they'd get a new one in as the person
decided to keep it apparantly. Ok, so
I went to Walmart, but the movie wasn't
there. So it comes down to I have to order
one in from Amazon.com it seems if I want
to watch it. I never quite took to Netflix
after my credit card number got stolen
years ago and that's what the person did,
they ordered videos from Netflix. So,
recently I came across this place called
Intelliflix and I never went back to Blockbuster
again. The old movie was great to see
again.
That's why I chose to change to a DVD
online club, but everyone has their own
reasons. I have compiled together a list
of all the great things about switching
to a DVD online club since some you don't
realize until after you switch, like a
bonus:
* No late fees or return dates. While
this is true about Blockbuster now (if
you don't count the restocking fee) ,
it is 100% true about these DVD online
clubs.
* Great for old movies or unusual, lesser-known
movies. This was very true in my case,
and I'm sure it has been with other people
as well.
* The movies you really want are actually
there and ready to rent now. Plenty of
movies to go around, something you can't
get in a little store.
* Delivered to your door. You can't get
any easier than this! What you want, delivered
right to you in no time.
* Fast, free delivery, usually in 1 day
from my experience. Some DVD online clubs
get the movies to you faster than others.
The biggest DVD online club is not Blockbuster
or Netflix. There is one that has many,
many more distribution centers, meaning
you get the video much faster to your
door.
* Free shipping both to your home and
also back to the DVD online club. The
only fees are the low monthly subscription
fees.
* 3-4 videos out a a time. Once you watch
a video, pop it back in the mail, and
in a couple of days you get your next
video choice at your door.
I used to spend way more money in the
local video store than I do for my DVD
online club monthly subscription. Heck,
I spend more driving to work and back
on just 3 of the days than I do on my
subscription. The difference is, now I
actually get to watch what I want, when
I want it. Seems simple, but when you're
spending your hard-earned money, you should
be able to at the least get the movie
you really want. Now, I do have to say
one DVD online club stands above the rest,
both in having a cheaper price, a bigger
selection, and much faster shipping, but
I won't mention it in this article as
I'm focusing on the DVD online club market
in general and why it's a blessing. You
can watch literally any movie you want
one after another. I usually have a pile
of 3 videos on top of the tv, so I can't
even remotely watch them as fast as I
can get them. But I do get to see what
I want now, not what I'm stuck with. Wax
on .. wax off!
