Scarecrow is offering massive library of TV and movies to rent by mail

Scarecrow, the largest movie and TV rental store in the United States, and one of the largest in the whole world, is offering its massive archive up for the whole country — just in time for Netflix ending its own rent-by-mail system. Seattle-based Video Store announced that they will offer by-mail services that allow their customers to have most titles in its library shipped directly to them.

To take advantage of Scarecrow’s new offering, users will just need to make an account on the Scarecrow website — though the account will have to be manually approved. Once it’s approved, you can search through the stores library and select whatever titles you’d like and head on to check out. You can order up to 6 discs. This allows you to rent multiple TV series or movies. Each shipment costs $12, including return shipping. The rental period is 14 days including the shipping.

Scarecrow has a staggering collection, including over 145,000 titles. This makes it the most extensive and impressive movie and TV library in the entire world. Netflix’s entire library has just under 14000 titles.

There are many hard-to find titles in this media mountain, which makes the option to mail it in a fantastic resource for anyone who wants to venture off the path taken by streaming services like Netflix and Max. However, one limit of the by-mail service is that it doesn’t include Scarecrow’s out-of-print, or irreplaceable films, which is pretty understandable.

The service is available now, and more information can be found at Scarecrow’s website.
