How do online DVD Rental Services work?

The services we recommend all offer plans that allow you to keep a certain number (1,2,3 or more) of DVDs rented at the same time for as long as you want. You choose the DVDs you want to rent from a selection of tens of thousands through the service's website and compile a list, or queue, of the DVDs that you want to watch. They ship you the number of DVDs in your plan through the U.S. Postal Service's First Class Mail and include a prepaid envelope to ship them back. As soon as they receive a DVD back from you, they immediately ship you the next one on your queue. Online DVD Rental Services save money and time by housing all their DVDs in central warehouses strategically located around the country for fast shipping instead of having thousands of retail stores. In exchange for this service, you pay a set fee each month. Since you can keep the DVDs for as long as you want and there are no late fees, you will never pay more than your set monthly fee.
