App to easily order photo prints from iPhone in Canada

I’m looking for an iPhone app to easily order photo prints from my phone to be mailed to my house in Canada (Quebec). I’m thinking of something like the user experience of Chatbooks, but for loose prints instead of books. Mainly small prints, 3x5 or 4x6 or such — the exact size isn’t that important to me as long as they’re nice for hanging on the fridge.
I really want it to be as easy as possible — where I set up my account and payment info one time, and then it’s just a couple taps every time I want to order a few prints. I don’t print out enough photos and I’m trying to make it as easy for myself as possible. I need the prints shipped, not pickup, and I’d really prefer an app to a website. I don’t mind paying a little extra for the convenience.
Searching the App Store brings up a plenty of US-based options, but as far as I can tell, they all have expensive international shipping, or don’t ship to Canada at all. But there must be someone doing this, right?
Do you live in Canada and use a service that does this? What do you use?

I’m not sure if this helps but there are apps for sending postcards using photos from your phone. Would that do the job? I use one called Postcard (yellow icon with a white sort of curvy square shape) and it costs me £1.79 to send a postcard to anywhere in the world from the UK.

Response by poster: piyushnz, I checked out the London Drugs app and it does everything I want — I was super happy until I got to the end and learned that shipping costs $9.95 ($12.95 to Quebec)!
I might order from them anyway to get me started since otherwise it’s a great solution, but still looking for a model with cheaper shipping.
fabius, a postcard app is an interesting idea — I’ll look into that.
