    I use a Canadian Service by MikeCDN 2004-09-22 10:05:12
There are a few in Canada, the most advertised is zip.ca, then there is cinemaflow aka vhqonline.ca and a couple of smaller ones

I use cinemaflow, price is $20 for 3, $25 for 4, $ 30 for 5. They also do games but you have to get a seperate account and is 2 for $25.

cinemaflow is based out of Coquitlam so its the fastest delivery time for those of us in the west, They put it in the mailbox and almost always I have it the next day... So I drop something in the mailbox Monday, they have it Tuesday they send a new one, I have it wednesday.

The DVDs are 3-5 at a time, depending on the plan (not a month). I end up watching 25-30 a month these days for the $30.

Also if dropping off on a Saturday, look for a mailbox that picks up Saturday, becuase it will get processed and dropped of Monday. Whereas if you drop it in one taht doesn't they don't pick it up untill Monday.

If the DVD is lost or damaged you alert them, I haven't had a problem yet, but most likely what happens is they keep a record and look for abuse,but won't hit the person the first time.

Also they pay all postage, when they send you your DVDs, they send you an envolope, addressed to them, with a stamp on it. They give you an envolope for each DVD so you can make a rotation so you almost always have a movie.
