Netflix Continues To Offer DVDs: Here’s How To Order Movies, TV Shows

Netflix is a popular streaming service platform that now hosts an extensive library of content.

Netflix hosts chart-topping series like The Umbrella Academy, Stranger Things, Brigeton, Squid Game, and many more.

Not only did it host original series that were admired by its subscribers, but it also hosted numerous movies, including old, new, and original movies.

However, a lot of you might not have noticed this, but hidden deep within the settings of Netflix lies a legacy of the streaming service's past life, its DVD offerings.

Netflix continues to offer DVDs to its user base that let you watch the latest movies and TV shows that have been recently released, and they include titles that are not usually available on the platform.

Netflix continues to support the rental of DVDs as well as Blu-rays although the caveat is that it is a separate subscription and will cost you additional money on top of whatever streaming plan you already have with Netflix.

There is a limited selection of movies and television shows on Netflix that are offered in DVD format, and an even smaller selection is made accessible in Blu-ray format. On the other hand, the DVD plan grants access to a selection of series and movies that are not offered through any other service.

Netflix DVD Plans

Netflix currently offers three options for DVD plans that you can choose from:

The Basic plan allows you to rent one DVD at a time and purchase an unlimited number of DVDs each month for $10.
The Standard plan allows you to rent two DVDs at a time, and you can order an unlimited number of DVDs each month for $15.
The Premium plan allows you to rent three DVDs at once, and you can order an unlimited number of DVDs each month for $20.

How To Order DVDs From Netflix

According to CNET, to get a hold of the DVDs from Netflix, you first need to have a Netflix subscription, which comes with access to all of Netflix's streaming material.

The Netflix DVD rental option is only available through an add-on to your current Netflix subscription.

At the moment, the most basic streaming option on Netflix costs $10 a month and allows users to view content in 480p standard definition on a single device.

If you currently have a membership to Netflix's streaming service, adding the DVD plan is a very straightforward process. However, adding the DVD plan cannot be done through the Netflix app.

To order, you can follow these few easy steps:

Open the Netflix website in your web browser.

Navigate to your profile after successfully logging in to your account.

Move the mouse pointer over the icon that represents your profile in the upper right corner.

Navigate to the Account menu and select Add DVD Plan.

After adding the DVD plan to your account, you will be able to compile a list of movies and television shows, after which Netflix will deliver you the DVDs in the sequence that you have specified.

When you have finished watching a DVD, you should put it in an envelope that has already been paid for and send it in the mail. Once Netflix is informed that your previous disc is on its way back, the next DVD in your order will be dispatched.
