The problem I have with Gamefly is that, they have sent me my #5 and #7 items on my q, when their website clearly stated that #s 2 and 3 were available… wtf?

Hi Patrick.
I feel your fustration. I was a member of gamefly myself and let me tell you something it was a horrible experience. Apperently, GameFly is thinking that they are all that. But guess what they are not!!! Unfortunatelly, they do not have much competition but I found a website that beats them 100%. For all of those who had problems with gamefly before and are tired of not getting the games try(www.mygamexpress.com) They have a new service New Releases are guaranteed. My experience with them have been so good. I placed my gameQ at night and I had my first game choice in 3 days. I hope this information helps you. They also offer free Trial!

Update: Gamefly just announced a couple weeks ago that they’re opening up a new distribution center in Pittsburgh. Not only will this make shipping a lot faster for people in the upper midwest and east coast, but it’ll also cut down on traffic at the LA distribution center.

So they’ve got better selection than all the other game rental companies, as well as discounted prices if you want to buy games from them — and now the shipping times are going to improve.

I actually was a member of gamefly from it’s initial inception to ’04/’05. The service was actually pretty good considering they only have 1 distribution center in Los Angeles in Inglewood if I recall. I lived in NYC at the time so it would take on avg. 3.5 days for mail to go back and forth. When I moved out to the burbs of NJ, wasn’t quite the same result. My avg time for mailings became something around 5-6 days. I gave up on them shortly after that as it appeared they were not going to go the Netflix route of multiple distro centers. I think in the 3 years of membership, only one game was ever lost (over 100 rentals). I really thought gamefly was pretty good but those shipping times need some help. I would try them again but I don’t think that usps scanning technology really benefits me. Instead I’m going to give gamerang a shot since they have a center in NJ. Maybe I can actually get rentals 2x/3x a week just like with netflix.

It’s easy to slam any mail rental service that isn’t Netflix. Everything you said about Gamefly could also be said about the smaller video rental services, but you couldn’t say that the smaller ones have anywhere near Gamefly’s selection. Just imagine if you’d actually bought all the games they sent you — you’d be out several hundred dollars. Instead you’ve spent, what, twenty or so bucks and played a half dozen games? I think that’s actually pretty awesome. Sure, you can’t always get the exact game you want, but if you’re a serious gamer you get your money’s worth by trying out dozens of games per year, and if you like one enough you can buy it off them at a discount. That’s the reason I have it: every game I’ve liked enough to keep is one that I might not have ever played if I wasn’t renting them to begin with.

wow! i had the exact same problems and was actually charged for the last game i rented and mailed back because they did not receive it before i cancelled; a complete customer service nightmare. i was amazed that they would send me an email 3 monts later, telling me that they missed me and wanted me to come back.

Ok I’ve had gamefly and have been more than satisfied with the service. If a game isn’t available it isn’t available, when it comes to a que based service you have to get used to the ques. Learn some patience is what I’d say, if you wanted the game so bad you couldn’t wait for it to be available maybe ummm go buy it.
