With FilmCircle, you only pay membership (£2 a month) and postage (from 70p a disk). You build credit by getting shot of your old disks, then spend it on something new. It works out much cheaper than LOVEFiLM, plus you get the cover rather than a tatty envelope - and additional disks - and it's yours to KEEP! It's re use, so it's also eco-friendly. Why haven't you heard of us? You will - the site is quite new. Here's a 4-months-free code : DRWGC32. Enjoy! I like the idea of pay-per-disk – but can I go one better?

I think it's intentional. I think if you are a customer, you should stop now. The thing that really annoys me is their cutesy advertising and stuff makes you feel like you are dealing with a company that cares. They don't. http://inspite.wordpress.com/2007/02/16/the-problem-with-lovefilm/ Damn right they suck, I wrote a long diatribe about this, I think they are taking their customers for a ride.

They don’t.

Does any one know of a better alternative? By the way if i want a current top title i usually end up giving up waiting and go a local hire shop although this involves a 20 mile round trip After reading the above comments i have to agree,but as some of the films i wish to rent are quite old, it seems only Lovefilmwith its 60,000 plus choice stocks them.

I'm currently struggling with their Kafka-esque customer support whilst I attempt to get them to cancel my account. http://lovefilmsucks.blogspot.com/ I switched to them from Amazon, and regret it.

Cynically, during the "trial period" they will send you your priority movies but once they have you hooked this goes out of the window. It's amazing that I have over 100 titles queued and for the past few weeks they haven't even sent me a MEDIUM priority title from list. When I deleted most of the titles from my list to FORCE them to dispatch the movies I wanted..guess what..they started sending me titles that I'd already DELETED ! It's not even as if the movies I prioritized were recently released or in great demand ! Lovefilm? Look elsewhere ! Prioritizing your titles on lovefilm is an excercise in futility.
