Blockbuster Late Fees Return
Posted March 1, 2010 04:33 PM by Juan Calonge
In another blow for disc rentals, Blockbuster has reinstated late fees on movie rentals at its stores. Beginning March 1, the new-release movie rental period for $4.99 titles has been reduced to five days. Afterwards, a $1 per day late fee will be applied, for up to 10 days (thus capped to $10). Blockbuster hasn't announced this change officially; this information comes from store personnel whom Blockbuster has briefed.
The $1 daily fee also applies to one-day standard DVD, Blu-ray Disc and previously viewed rentals.
