"You very rarely get the DVD you want."
true, my #1 on the list took 4-5 months before i got it…
i recently quit quickflix and joined webflicks… they seem to send out the DVD's much much quicker but rarely am i getting anything i have as #1 or #2
We live in a world where any movie can be downloaded (legally or illegally) within minutes, so why do these postal services still exists!
for the same reason that people still pay their bills at the post office when we have internet banking, telephone banking, BPay…they're OLD :)
Because I don't want to pay for additional bandwidth to download the stuff when I can get it for free through the post.
i'm getting legal dvd's mailed to me for around 50c, where can i legally download for that price ???
Even allowing for the fact that downloaded movies don't look that crash hot on a big screen, the fastest my Internet connection ever gets to is about 1.5Mbit/sec, and in general it won't even stream low def Youtube without pauses.
There is currently no choice of ISPs where I live unless I want to go to a 3G mobile broadband plan; yeah, let's download a DVD at those $/GB. That's what Malcolm and Tony would suggest as an alternative to the NBN…
I bought the Micheal Jackson DVD but its nose fell off.
Mine caught fire… :(
I found mine in bed with the kids.
I was given a 2-month trial of Quickflix. After 2 weeks they told me my trial was up and I had to start paying. The turnaround time for movies was quite slow too.
I wouldn't recommend them myself but others may perhaps have better luck. I haven't negged this deal.
Worth it if you want the DVD for $5 only. The trial is pretty much worthless - they regularly have around 4 week trials for free promos, and up to 2 months for nominal fee promos.
If you sign up just remember to start returning your last DVDs and cancelling your entire queue about a week before the end of the trial, otherwise you're almost guaranteed they'll conveniently be slow to receive your last DVDs and you'll be billed for at least one month of full service.
"just remember to start returning your last DVDs and cancelling your entire queue"
cancelling becomes effective as soon as you call them, you forfeit any remaining credit… you need to cancel at least 2 days before you next billing date…
Yes but if they haven't received your DVDs by the billing date they bill you anyway, regardless of if you 'cancelled' or not.
Beware that the conditions say new members only, but that when you actually signup you need to declare that the household has not had an introductory offer before.
I went for this deal last time (actually it was 2 months free - this comes around all the time), and found that I was glad I wasn't paying for this service… You very rarely get the DVD you want.
