Up until now, I've used Winkflash (the CND version) and been happy with the quality. The 4x6 prints are .24 CND and $2.65 flat for shipping.
Their customer service is annoying me though so I'm looking around for someone else. Not a fan of any local ones, like Wal-mart.
Must have matte prints and ship to Canada. Cheap enlargements is a bonus.
Any suggestions/recommendations?

Kim, not sure if I can help, as I haven't used any of the online sites for printing yet. I've always had great service from London Drugs, so usually get my prints there. Although I have signed up for their upload service, which allows me to send pictures to the local store via the net for pickup in an hour, I haven't used it too much as it's very time consuming when sending large files. I usually just take the memory card to the store, tell them which prints I want (and which sizes), and then come back in a couple of hours to pick them up. I usually get my images burned to a DVD at the same time, as I don't have a "burner" at the moment. It's all very convenient "one stop shopping" for me!
LD offers both glossy and matte AFAIK, but I believe there's a "crop" factor when dealing with digital prints. From what I remember, a small amount of the edges are cropped due to the size of the digital images or something (they explained this, but I've forgotten the details).
I prefer the "personal touch" when it comes to prints, as if they aren't processed just right I have someone to complain to, although that hasn't been necessary yet. It's nice to be able to get regular 4 x 6 prints, enlargements or whatever all at the same time.
Anyway, that's my approach so far. Cheers!!!

Don't know if you have any up in Canada, but my family and I use Walgreens Drugstores. You can upload your photos online and then anyone can go to the closest Walgreens and get prints made pretty cheap!

Ditto CVS Pharmacy...don't use them often but when I have I've been satisfied with the results.
Love Sam's.....but agree, less than pleased with WalMart.

Nope, no Walgreen, CVS Pharmacy or Sam's. I've used London Drugs and always find they overexpose/color correct when I'd rather they wouldn't.
I'm doing a test now, I've ordered prints from 4 or 5 places online and will let you know the results!

Yeah, i did that too when i started with Digital. I sent the same 5 pictures of different subjects to 5 places. Walmart and 4 drugstores. WALMART SUCKED! lol
The others were similar, but Jean Coutu offered the white surrounding border, which i loved, thats why i stuck to it, and they give airmiles lol
