<\/a>\"Netflix<\/p>\n

To the joy of many Canadians, Netflix was finally released in Canada last month! \u00a0Well, sorta. \u00a0The rental of DVD and Blu-ray discs through the postal service isn’t available – yet – but consumers, for just $7.99 CDN, are able to unlimitedly\u00a0stream available movies and tv shows through their PS3s, Wiis, Macs, PCs, iPhones, or iPads.<\/p>\n

Recently, in the U.S., Blockbuster filed for bankruptcy. \u00a0Now this doesn’t mean that Netflix ran them to the ground, but it did play an integral role because of how convenient it was for people to have access to entertainment. \u00a0They didn’t have to go to a store for a rental, all they had to do was turn their computer on (or whatever respective device), and viola! \u00a0They had the ability to choose from a variety of videos.<\/p>\n

Netflix’s postal mailing of their DVDs or Blu-ray discs to their consumers also was soo convenient. \u00a0Their service was so efficient. \u00a0You order a movie to be sent to you online, you get it in the mail a couple of days later, watch it, put it into the supplied return envelope when you are ready to return it, and drop it in a mailbox. \u00a0They then send the next movie on your list to you. \u00a0Wash, rinse, repeat. \u00a0They give the consumer complete power over how many movies they can watch each day, each week, each month. \u00a0On top of that, no late fees!<\/p>\n

I think it’s an efficient service that certainly gives value to consumers because it gives them how much they to get in return. \u00a0Along with it’s recent release here in Canada, they are offering one-month free trials. \u00a0If you enjoy the customer experience or and the service, you can opt to continue. \u00a0Genius.<\/p>\n
