Disadvantages: None

OK, OK - I admit it - I got tired of Dooyoo a little while ago and have long remained absent :-( sorry for any of you who have written in my guest book, read my reviews and commented or just given me my 3p a read while I was away. Please pretend I was on a long trip to Mongolia delivering bread to the underprivileged heathen tribes or something - I'm not a bad person really ;-)

Oh, and I see we're still living in Pop-up Ville

Rightio - here's a review (if I can remember how to even set one out after this long) for your delectation and amusement:

DVDs On Tap - what a wonderful, fantastic and overall lovely company to use.

- The basics:

They're a DVD rental company, supplying recent releases and all-time classics (as well as pap that nobody really wanted even when it was new) to the masses in the region 2 area.

They have a range of packages:

1. Bronze - £9.99 - get one DVD at a time with a pre-paid return envelope.
2. Silver - £14.99 - get 2 DVDs at a time with a pre-paid return envelope.
3. Gold - £19.99 - get 3 DVDs at a time with a pre-paid return envelope.

There used to be one for £7.99 but it appears to have ended now - you got the same as the the Bronze membership but without the return envelope. Can't have been all that popular. All come with a 14 day free trial when you join.

"So Mr Boon," I hear you shout; "how do we get hold of this fantastic deal?"

Well, let me tell you.....

Firstly, go to www.dvdsontap.com via the affiliate link of your choice and follow the HUGE link to "Start your free trial now" from the homepage - you'll be given the choice of packages and will need to enter your email address and choose a password to continue - from here you stick in all your delivery details, name, address and whatnot and then go on to put in your payment info. Once this is all done you can choose s
ome DVDs to be delivered to you on the free trial (you've got a fortnight to cancel if you don't want to subscribe) and you're all good to go.

So, you've signed up, you've had the trial and you've liked it, you've decided to stick with it and get regular DVDs. You'll now need to know how to choose them won't you.....?

- Don't be silly - we know that from the join and get the trial bit!

- Oh, sorry.

For those that don't know then:

The search on DVDs On Tap is great, you can choose by genre (here's a list - don't you just hate reviewers that do this.....?

Anyway:

Action
Adult
Animation
Classic
Comedy
Drama
Family / Kids
Foreign Language
Horror
Indian Cinema
Martial Arts
Musical
Romance
Sci-Fi
Thriller
TV
War
Western

And then you'll be given a range of films ion that category to choose from - to select the one you want you can click on it to get more info - simple enough eh? If you decide to rent it you click on the "Rent it" link and you'll get a message telling you it has been added to your rental queue.

- Rental queue.....? What's that then?

It's a queue of the DVDs you've rented - they'll be listed in the order you added them to the queue and will be sent out in that order (in ones, twos or threes depending on the package you've got). You can change the order very simply and can delete anything you've changed your mind on. Simple as you like matey-o.

- So, you've watched your DVD, you've sent it back in the free envelope and you're waiting on the next one in the queue to come out - you're in luck, they send you an email telling you it's on the way once they're sending it so you're always kept in the picture.

Generally 2 days between sending back and getting the new o
ne.

- My own personal experiences:

I love using this company, I signed up to get the ipoints and was VERY pleasantly surprised with the quality of the service I received. I had one dodgy disc sent and got an additional 2 weeks for free. I can find the DVDs I want to see quickly and know that I will get a good quality product sent out to me when the queue gets round. I reckon that £9.99 a month is INCREDIBLY cheap - considering that a DVD from the local shop is £3.50 a night and you get charged again if you're a minute past 7pm the following day. I have got to see a lot of films I would not have bothered with otherwise as the "latest films" section has given decent reviews on recent releases and guided me on my path to the DVD for me (could have been a slogan writer me)..

I love this company, I find them helpful, I find they deliver exactly what they have promised and that they are continuing with a good service that will keep me loyal while I'm able to use the internet. The added incentive of 20 ipoints for taking out the trial through their affiliate link and the 3 ipoints per month is nice too but even if you're not a collector - you should definitely give this great company a go. You'll not be disappointed I promise.

That was the triumphant return of Boonoiy to Dooyoo,

Thank you for your kind words........
Ahem - KIND words.

OK, thanks anyhow :`-(
