  • How do Free Trials work? Read +Close

    A Free Trial is a period during which new Quickflix Members may try our services without charge.

     

    The duration of a Free Trial offer will be shown on our website when you sign-up or if you have a promotional offer on the relevant promotional material. The length of Free Trial offers may differ and any special Terms or Conditions will be highlighted.

     

    You will not be charged during any Free Trial period but a pre-authorisation request will be made against your nominated payment card, which puts a temporary hold on a small token amount of money, a bit like when you rent a car or check into a hotel. This money is never transferred to Quickflix, and is only held by the bank for a short period before being released back to the account. This ensures that we are able to issue debit requests against nominated payment card should you wish to continue your subscription beyond the free trial period. The pre-authorisation amount is currently $0.01.

     

    The first charge to your nominated payment card will be at the end of the Free Trial period and will be for your first month’s subscription payment and your Joining Fee. If you cancel your subscription before the end of the Free Trial period you will not be charged.

     

    Free Trials are only available to new Quickflix Members and are limited to one per household.

     

    If you have had a Free Trial in the past and would now like to take up a Quickflix subscription, you can do so by using your original username and password to sign-in and then selecting a new subscription package under My Account. If you experience any problems please contact our Member Care team who will be more than happy to assist.

    When you’ve finished watching, just post it back using the special pre-paid envelope supplied. As soon as we receive one of your discs back we’ll send you another one from your Queue straight away.

     

    Quick Tips:

     

    1. You can see all the titles you have already selected under the My Queue section of the website. You can use this section of the site to manage and prioritise what’s in your Queue.
    2. To get your next discs even sooner, as soon as you’ve put one in the post box, you can advise us online by ticking the returned box at the top of the My Queue page and we’ll send your next one straight away.

    Quickflix uses Australia Post to send and return DVDs & Blu-rays.

     

    Please allow 1-3 days for delivery in metropolitan areas and up to 4 days for rural and interstate deliveries. Please note: delivery to remote areas may take longer.

     

    Quick Tip:

  • How many DVDs should I have in My Queue? Read +Close

    If you are a new Member you will need to add at least 2 DVDs or Blu-rays to your Queue before we can start sending discs out to you.

     

     

    So we can ensure a continual supply of great entertainment we recommend having a minimum of 10 titles in your Queue at all times and ideally around 20.

     

    Quick Tip:

     

    If you're looking for ideas for something to watch, try My Recommendations. Once you start watching and rating movies and TV shows on the website we'll start to understand your tastes and can recommend you other things that we think you will like.

  • In what order will I receive the DVDs in My Queue? Read +Close

    We will always do our best to send you choices from your top 10.

     

    Our dispatch process works in two stages. The higher the title is prioritised in your Queue, the higher you are in our list of people waiting to receive that title. Then we look at the amount of time you have had a title at that position. For example, if 10 Members have Avatar prioritised at #1 in their Queue, the Member who has had that title prioritised #1 for the longest period of time will get it first. You can prioritise your titles in your Queue in two ways; either click the up and down arrows for the title you would like to move until it reaches the position you would like, or click on the hand symbol to drag and drop the titles where you would like them positioned.

     

    On the My Queue page we will give you an indication of the likely wait time for a particualr title based on the number of copies we have available and the number of people that have it in their Queue:

     

     

    Quick Picks

    We have plenty of copies of these titles and/or the demand is low, so if you place it at the top of your Queue you’ll likely receive it next.

     

    High Demand

    Although we've got plenty of copies of these titles, a lot of Quickflix Members have requested them, so you may have to wait a little while before one is sent to you.

     

    Long Wait

    We have limited copies of these titles and demand is high, so it may take a while before you receive one.

     

    Coming Soon

    These titles aren’t yet available on Quickflix but you can add them to your Reserved Queue. As soon as they are available on Quickflix they will automatically transfer over from your Reserved Queue to your main Queue.

  • What is the Reserved Queue? Read +Close

     

    This is where we save your requests for DVDs or Blu-rays that have yet to be released or where we have temporarily run out of stock. Once a DVD or Blu-ray in your Reserve Queue becomes available it will move from the Reserve Queue to the bottom of your main Queue, ready for you to prioritise accordingly.

  • How does Quickflix Recommendations work? Read +Close

    Quickflix can help you find great movies and TV shows that you'll love using our recommendations engine. All you have to do is tell us a bit about the things you like by giving star ratings to those movies and TV shows that you’ve seen, whehter through Quickflix or elsewhere. The more that you rate the better we will get to know your tastes and our recommendations for you will improve. Your ratings also help us to recommend great titles to other members.

     

    To improve the recommendations we provide you can adjust your Recommendations Settings here.

     

    Once signed-in you can rate titles wherever you see them on the site by clicking on the star ratings. You can also review your Quickflix history and add ratings under My Account.

     

    If you wish to add a written review to share, please take care to not include any comments that could be considered inappropriate or discriminatory.

    2. When the movie starts streaming in the alternative browser, select the full-screen mode.
    3. You should then see a Silverlight pop-up box asking you to confirm the full-screen settings; select “Yes” and tick “Remember my answer”.

    There are two Parental Control systems that co-exist on the Xbox.

     

    Xbox Family Settings

     

    If you use the Xbox Family Settings to control which movies and TV shows can be watched through Xbox LIVE, the Quickflix app will follow these settings. For example, if you prohibit watching of TV-MA-rated programs on your console, those programs will be marked with a "restricted video" icon in the Quickflix app. To play a locked item, an adult must enter the Family Settings pass code.

     

    Quickflix Parental Controls

     

    If you have activated the Quickflix Parental Control system via the Quickflix website, the Xbox App will require you to enter your Quickflix Parental Control PIN.

     

    If you have both systems activated you will be required to enter two PINs for restricted content. If your PINs are different for the Xbox and Quickflix systems, be sure to enter the correct PIN in the corresponding fields.

The pre-authorisation amount is currently $0.01.

  • If I stream a movie will it count against my broadband allowance? Read +Close

    Yes. You will use up some of your broadband allowance when you stream a movie or TV episode. Your broadband allowance is simply a limit on the amount of data that can be transferred over your broadband connection. Any internet use counts towards your total broadband usage. If you are near your limit, you should check with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) how much of your allowance is remaining before watching a movie.

     

    The total size of a movie varies from title to title, largely depending on the length of the movie. As a guide, a 90 minute movie will require approximatley 1GB of data transfer if you watch it from beginning to end and a half hour TV episode will require approximately 0.35GB. The file size for each movie and TV show is displayed alongside the synopsis. If you are concerned with your data usage limit we suggest you consult your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to determine your data allowance, and whether it is appropriate for the Quickflix service.

     

    Also, please be aware mobile broadband services have fluctuating performance that may affect the quality of your playback.
