[edit] Description of service
GameAccess.ca offers a rental model similar to that of Gamefly. Members build a queue of games they wish to play. Games are then shipped to the customers address along with a prepaid return mailer. Once a customer finishes with a game, it is sent back using the provided mailer in order for the company to send out a new game. GameAccess.ca also operates an online store where members can purchase new and used games. Shipping is provided through Canada Post, the federal Canadian postal service.[1]
