The Cheapest Way Of Watching High Quality Media - Online DVD Rental

The online DVD rental companies are bringing movies, music and other stuff to your home recorded on a high quality disc called DVD. Online DVD rental is the cheapest way for any customer to watch high quality images or hear high quality sounds at his or her home. If you have some qualitative devices, then this is the best way for you to enjoy high quality stuff at home.

You will interfere with online DVD rental companies only on their websites, because you shall just send them a list with the DVDs you want and the online DVD rental will ship the DVDs by postal. The performance of the postal system allows you to receive DVDs in about one to three days. This period can be longer if there are some delivering problems with the postal taxes, DVD region coding system or the studio distribution rights within regions. The pricing levels are different from a region to another; they depend upon the local DVD prices. The area is an important factor, which influences the delivering process. A large area with not densely population will inflict bigger timers for delivering than a small area with densely population.

The dominant company in the USA with about 6 million customers is Netflix. Netflix has it's headquarter in California, Los Angeles, and it has over 43 million discs and ships about 1.5 million discs a day. Blockbuster video company has about 1 million customers but the number of customers shall grow until they reach 2 million next year. The Canadian online DVD rental companies are not as big as the companies in the USA. The major company in Canada is far larger than any rival and it is called ZIP.ca. There are different market movements made by Netflix and Blockbuster. Netflix wants to get in the Canadian market, but Blockbuster has no intention of doing that.

In the United Kingdom a single delivering facility can serve the entire country. This is possible because the geographical area is small and the density of the population is high. There are many separated versions of the major company called Lovefilm, because Lovefilm is providing the websites for them. The different brands may have different prices and different quality but the online DVD rental service is from the same source. Lovefilm merged with another big company called Video Island. The most important competitors are Blockbuster and Amazon.co.uk and there are some online DVD rental providers with a medium size.

The Australian providers are BigPondMovies and Quickflix and they have a subscriber base of about fourteenthousand. In New Zeeland, the three important online DVD rental companies offer flat-rate packages. These companies are DVD Unlimited, Movieshack and Fatso. Movieshack and Fatso are offering shipping to the customers all over the country. In India the online DVD rental companies are using their own system of delivering the discs. Some of the major companies are MovieMart and Clixflix.
