Odeon Direct DVD Rental

Odeon's new Lovefilm "powered by" site; not much to distinguish it from the original at Lovefilm, and multiple service problems reported.

Odeon Direct DVD Rental Review
   

Visit Odeon Direct DVD Rental SiteOdeon (the upscale cinema chain) launched their DVD rental website in spring 2006, powered by the market leader Lovefilm. Other than a than pink neon in the title, it's a straight clone of Lovefilm. We wish we could offer a more substantive review, but there little other than the colors and header to set it apart.

The similarity in system begs the question--why go with the Odeon Direct middleman at all, why not stick with the specialists at Lovefilm?

Prices: You probably won't be able to get a free trial if you've already tried another Lovefilm-powered DVD rental site; otherwise, they offer a month free trial. Their subscriptions are one disc unlimited monthly rental for £9.99, two-discs for £12.99, three discs for £15.99, and four discs for £19.99. In late 2007, they joined the bandwagon and offered some capped plans, two discs total in a month for £4.99 (2.50 per disc), and four discs total in a month (two out at once) for £7.99 (2 quid per disc)).

Kieran from Kingston, 18 January, 2007

Seriously.. Odeon/Lovefilm is worst company I've ever had the misfortune to deal with, go to BLOCKBUSTER, they are so much better!

Problems started when even though they have a priority system, I never once received the discs at the top of my priority. This was very frustrating, but not as frustrating as getting have way through a series to then stop receiving, or to get the discs in the wrong order.

We got so fed up, never getting what we wanted that we decided to switch to Blockbuster (who incidentally give more discs for the same price!), but got conned by the line "you are only a few days away from your billing date, why not wait until next month to cancel" which we did at for December. When we cancelled in January, they conveniently "lost in the post" the last two discs, so I've spent the last 3 weeks trying to get confirmation that the account had been cancelled, for them only to charge me again because I haven't returned discs!

SUMMARY - Go to Blockbuster! They send you more discs, keep you better informed, and you actually get what you want.

I signed up for Odeon's free trial and go two disc very quickly which I watched and returned and that was it!!!! I was then aware money had been taken off my account by Odeon Direct WITHOUT any e-mail to ask if I wished to continue using there service. I would STRONGLY advise against using them.
