subject: A Few Tips To Help Speed Up Dvd Rental By Post [print this page] DVD rental by post is fast becoming one of the most popular way to rent films and games but unfortunately the unavoidable wait for the postman to drop of your latest rental can be frustrating.
Never fear, though, here are a couple of easy tips to help speed up the process.
Firstly checking that you haven't missed the last post collection can mean that your return DVD rental is not sitting in the post box overnight waiting to be collected the next day. Finding out the last collection meant having to walk to your nearest post box and checking but never fear the internet now has a solution for that minor annoyance.
Since last year the Royal Mail is obliged to give out the details of post boxes meaning that you can find out where the nearest post box is and what time the last collection is, all from the comfort of your computer.
Dracos.co.uk is the website you need to visit and all you need to do is to type in the first half of your post code and a list of post boxers and final collection times will be displayed instantly, how handy is that!
Losing the returns envelope can really slow down the whole process and you'll end up having to get in contact with the company and wait for them to send you a new envelope.
However, again, you can just bypass that and use that handy thing known as the internet to find out the returns address, and as most of them are freepost all you need to do is pop it into an envelope and send it off, it's as easy as that.
Another handy hint is to keep your rental list full, as the way most of these companies work is that you create a list of films you want to rent they send it out to you, you watch the films, send them back and then they send you the next batch of films. Constantly keeping your list topped up means that there will always be a film ready to send out on once they get back the previous rentals.
The final tip is to read reviews and see how different rental companies compare when it comes to speed, some sites say in their Blockbuster review that it's the fastest for new releases, for example, but if you're after more variety and competitive packages then it's always best to shop around to find the best package.
