- Ease of Signup: Simple straight forward setup. Nothing difficult or tedious. Quickflix even send out a "Welcome Pack" which none of the other services do.
- Website Useability: QuickFlix have the best website of all the services. Selecting DVD´s is easy, and the selection is good. Finding new movies is quite good with the various tools such as lists, reviews, ratings etc. Plus they have a great service called "Queue Top Up" which automatically selects movies based on your history.
- Delivery Speed: While not the fastest of all the services the speed from QuickFlix was second best and still very acceptable.
- DVD Condition: No problems here. DVD´s come in decent plastic sleeves to help prolong life.
- Access to New Releases: QuickFlix was one of the few services that actually sent New Releases in the first batch. Overall they were quite good about sending new releases.

- General Comments: Overall QuickFlix was the better service to deal with.
