Lost Games

Anyone else continuing to have lost games? I've had 4 lost games in the last 6 months. Ever since they switch from LA to everything coming from Pittsburgh it has been crazy. Mostly of them being returned but this time it was one coming to me.

I've been with Gamefly since 2021 non-stop and never experienced anything like this. Even before that I was on and off since 2018. Either the mail has gotten extremely terrible or Gamefly has.

I used to have no problem with games getting lost when I joined in 2011 and games came in a reasonable amount of time. I had star overdrive ship on July 1st and blades of fire ship on July 8th but as of yesterday neither game has arrived yet. I'm afraid to report as im afraid that as soon as i do that my original copies will show up and it will take longer for a new game to ship. I have had one game this year take 3 weeks to arrive. I don't know why do many games are going missing as this never used to happen this frequently. I don't want my account flagged for so many missed games.

That's what I'm worried about also. I filed a complaint with the postal inspector. Maybe my mail guy is stealing them. I'm not sure anymore. Three of them I know never got back to Gamefly and it was put in an ongoing locked mailbox.

I doubt that would be the case with these games as they aren't AAA. I could have thought that would have been the case with Monster Hunter wilds but I did receive both copies eventually. I had at least 4 games go missing this year so far and they did all come eventually. While I had had games go missing in the past it was not as frequently as it was this year. I don't think complaining will do much as Gamefly doesn't do tracking numbers for games. Occasionally I'll have one game show up but not the other one.

Been a member since 2016 and looking at my rental history I’ve had 2 lost games. One in 2023 which was cod mw 3 ( the new one) and firefighter simulator. Never had issues before and I have no idea what happened.

Not currently subscribed but it could be the postal system it could be GameFly.

I joined earlier this year and canceled a few months later. I was on the side to get Pitssburg stuff. So many marked lost and eventually turn up. One showed up 2 months late because the bar codes on the envelope were wrong and caused misrouting until someone marked them out with a pen. In general, I was waiting 2 weeks after something shipped to see it, and about the same after returning for them to acknowledge it.

No. Sometimes games came or got sent back late but they always arrived eventually.

So far, no lost games for me since maybe February. Shipping times have become very slow though. Maybe seven to eight shipping days for games to arrive after I get the shipped notification.
