The Rating

- Ease of Signup
- Ease of Selecting DVD´s & Using Website
- Speed of Delivery
- DVD Condition
- Ease of canceling service
- General Comments on service
- Ease of Signup: Like all of the services its a simple form followed by a confirmation email. Webflicks did take an extra day to "activate" the account, but its probably just an extra human interaction step that depends on the time of day you sign up.
- Website Useability: Ok. Perhaps not as much content as QuickFlix and BigPond, but certainly a better interface than BigPond. WebFlicks and MovieGuys both lack a bit in trying to find new movies to watch.
- Delivery Speed: Average. Not especially fast, but not slow either.
- DVD Condition: No Problems.
- Access to New Releases: Average. Nothing to complain about.
- Ease of Canceling Service: Like most sites it is a simple button. No problems although their free trial is a bit silly, if you want to cancel you have to have disc´s back before the 14 days. That doesn´t leave much time.
- General Comments: Webflicks are an ok option. They are probably the better of the two second tier (Movie Guys, WebFlicks) unless you want games.
