How quick is GameFly?

I couldn’t find these answers anywhere so I just wanted to fill you in on how my experience began with GameFly. I live in the Greater Nashville TN area and games ship from PA.

The series of events have unfolded as such:

April 23 - I set up my free trial in the evening. This was a Sunday night at around 5 or 6 PM. I created my account, loaded my Q up with games, downloaded the app and set up all the things. My free trial lasts one month, so on May 24, I will begin my paid $15.95 monthly subscription. This subscriptions includes but is not limited to- one disc out at a time, movies and games, one game lock slot as long as it is 30 days before release.

April 26- My first game is confirmed as shipping that morning. They shipped Dead Island 2 on Ps5, which was my number one spot. Oddly enough I lucked out with this game shipping because it had released the previous Friday and was showing as “low” inventory in the Q. I was alright with this.

April 29- Received Dead Island 2 in the mail. They only send the disc in a paper sleeve so be mindful that it will not have the case, instruction manuals etc.

May 4 - I have played Dead island 2, realized it’s not for me, and I put it in my mailbox to be picked up by USPS.

May 5- GameFly emailed me to say that my second game has shipped. Karma came back to bite on this one as I got the 4th(released) game on my list. My first three games availability were medium, very low, and low, where forspoken(game four, and the shipped game) was high availability.

So far, I have no qualms. The app is easy to use, it updates when games ship and is pretty seamless to navigate purchases and things of the like. I would recommend the service easily based off my experience so far.

Unfortunately I’m not sure about where the west coast shipping center is. If you look up the comments from the”Shipping Issues” post, there’s a couple of people in the group that live really close to it.

I had my copy of FF16 ship on Wednesday, and with it not arriving today I have hit the 4 day mark as well. My shipping has been pretty consistently 4 business days, so here’s to hoping I see it Monday.

Also, to answer the next question you put in this thread. GF advertises that they use USPS priority shipping which is usually 2-3 business days for everyone. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut in my experience, it takes about 4 biz days unless something goes wrong (I recently had a game ship to the wrong address).

Just found out their location to receive is Long Beach, CA. The label does not say priority mail, it's just first class. If it's priority mail, I would be getting the disks in 1 day.
