I've been with Lovefilm for months now but after a poor service I was going to back to screenselect but found this new website http://www.mymoviestream.com
I have to say there website is basic but I'am getting my top three titles the next day and turnaround is go far good. |

| Nice find, familiar look about the site though. Anybody have any idea if they are part of another company? |

I signed up this morning for mymoviestream's 14 day trial. The website is basic, and searching sometimes brings up wrong results. They mustn't have much of a stock as the first few things i searched for were not found (eg. any Only Fools & Horses discs).
I am however going to recommend giving these guys a try. Within 3 hours i'd been emailed to say that the top three titles on my list had been dispatched (3 titles which have been in my top 10 with Lovefilm for 3 months).
They specifically said that when they are returned that they'd try to guarantee same day dispatch. One other thing they have which is excellent is when you check your queue, beside each title it'll tell you if it's available now, or if there is a short wait.
Maybe if they get some subscribers they'll widen their stock, but maintain the fast service. |

signed up with these we'll see how it goes can't be any worse than the cr*p we have with to put up with other cetain companies
the only gripe seems to be the customer service is not up to scratch but thats nothing new hopefully they'll do ok and keep providing us with an alternative to the rest of the rubbish |

Thanks for the link crazyfj.
They can't be powered by any other company as i have succesfully registered without being told i have already had a free trial.Looks like a good spot.
Within 1.5 hours of signup received email to say that 3 titles were being sent out.All titles i have been unable to get from lovefilm despite being top of my list for about 6 weeks.
As dobler states an excellent feature is the availability column in your queue.Outstanding .I listed 20 titles and about 75% of them were showing as available now and the rest were short wait.
By the way dreaming one if you haven't come across only fools & horses yet,just type in fools & it brings up 3 pages of 'em.Hope that helps.  |

I know what you mean Cloudy.....
Yet it is easy to feel negative, when so many of us have had a raw deal with other rental companies.
I've noticed that they don't seem to have the option to freeze an account, or have a telephone number to speak to their customer services.....who knows though, as they grow they might improve that aspect of it.
So I think I'll be joining them very soon myself, as I like what I'm reading.

Well just some points I have found out:-
Although you get an e-mail in the morning advising you they have posted a DVD, they don't really send them out to about five (it did'nt affect me but may affect others).
Lastly they don't appear to have any customer service at all, any e-mails are ignored.
Plus points:-
Quick Turnaround
Get your top selections |

Joined wednesday.Just had email to say second batch of 3 discs sent today.All from top of list.
As crazyfj points out,these are some of the plus points.On the minus side lets hope we just don't need the customer service which would then become a plus.
Just out of curiosity crazyfj,how do you know when the discs are actually sent out.  |

| Turnaround is still perfect with mymoviestream, but what i find odd is their claim to stock more than 22,000 titles, yet i can't find the tv series' Deadwood, or Scrubs?!? |
