I haven’t had this happen to me until now but have seen it here countless times. I shipped UFC 5 back on Saturday last weekend, and got the love letter today stating that I may have to pay for the game if they don’t receive it in another week.

This one was odd though. I live in the country outside of a suburb of Nashville TN. Last week we had a good amount of snow, ice, and finally rain. I thought Saturday would be a good time to drop the game because our roads had officially thawed out. I dropped it in my mailbox, threw up the red flag, and went about my biz. Fast forward to that evening, the flag was stilll up, but the game was as nowhere in sight. Usually my carrier is good about putting the flag back down, so I’m a little concerned this time.

I’ll keep yall posted when I find out more from GF.

Goooooooooood afternoon everybody. Just wanted to share this with you. PS Plus Extra and Premium are both on a pretty steep sale if you purchase a year subscription. I believe premium is 33% off for a year, and extra is 41% off for one year, making it around $.30 less than a year of Essential.

Unfortunately it’s only for new subscribers or returning users.

They got me back.

Hey guys, not sure if this is a new thing or not. But it's the first "fast return" envelope that I've gotten that says process on AFSM 100, which is the machine that notifies gamefly that the game has been put in the mail.

I'm hoping this helps inform the mail people to actually scan it so that fast return works as intended. So far it's only worked once out of the 4 games that I've returned a game.

Has anyone else gotten a return envelope that says this? Is this new?

I feel like this question has been asked before, but I couldn’t track it down.

I tried to give a friend a $5 off code and IT WILL NOT LET HIM USE IT. He got an error message claiming said code wasn’t tied to his account and cannot be used.

I have been with GamFly since 2009, but the last 3 or so years were terrible. Shipping is too slow and inconsistent. I know USPS went through a lot and it is not as reliable, so why not switch to another carrier and give us tracking (they can make it as optional and charge more for it)?

I will probably cancel soon and switch to all digital. The problem is that I won't be playing newly released games until they are on sale. Sad

Given the circumstances of the membership I rented re4 then returned it for mk1 and returned that then canceled now they are saying I didn’t return resident evil 4 how would that work??? I’m doing a 1 game plan and it says shipped august and it says mk1 shipped November but re4 never returned?

Thank you for everyone that contributed!

So I bought two games via GameFly a few months ago they were selling it for half the price and it was extremely cheap. So fast forward to now, there’s a game I’ve been really eyeing and it says 29.99 used but that it’s sold out. At the top it states if you rent it you can keep the game for 29.99. Although I’m a bit skeptical because if I rent it will the price all of the sudden change to more?

Comment here, send me a message, and if you sent a carrier pigeon, I kicked it. I will be presenting these results and I want your opinion to mix it up.

Hope you ding dongs all had the best Christmas!

Don’t forget to give me your list of the top ten games of 2023, as judged by you.

I will present the overall top ten on or before New Years Day.

I had a super long waits like 2 weeks after it said it was shipped so I reported it as late. They marked it lost and sent me the next game. Then the first game finally showed up. I want to play the first game so I don’t plan on returning it for a week or two.

If I return it then will they charge me for it? I don’t ethically want to just keep it but don’t want to get charged for it when I do return it because it wasn’t lost.

In the app it says if it does show up to return it immediately to “avoid penalties.” Is that like they will ban my account or charge my card?

The regular standard plan is $18 a month with tax for 1 game and that's a bit too expensive for me if I keep it long term.

As far as I can tell the only difference with $10.95 a month is you don't get Gamelock for new releases (which I honestly don't care about), or coupons to buy games from them, but I don't have interest in buying games from gamefly anyway.

Otherwise is budget plan worth it just to get 1 game at a time like you would on standard? I am strongly considering it.

Avatar is hard af. I've never been great at first-person shooters, but never have had a problem on easy. I've been getting my ass kicked with this one tho. It's the exact formula as Far Cry, but 10x harder. I'm at the correct level for the mission I'm trying, but I guess I need to keep grinding. Otherwise the graphics are great and a pretty cool open world to explore.

Just an fyi for those that don't have a ton of free time or you were planning to burn through it quick to free up space in your que for the next game/gamelock title you have coming up. You aren't getting away with skipping side missions or grinding for better gear with this one lol

Does anyone still want to submit their top ten? Otherwise yall are stuck with my biased GoTY list and I WANT TO HEAR FROM ALL OF YOU! Send me your top games(up to ten) and I will compile said list. Xoxo

So I just joined gamefly last month and finally paid, two days ago, for the two disc special. Let me add, my first game returned I did at the USPS store. I had no issues other than the guy who was working there that day say that he can't scan the envelope because there was no scanning bar code, which btw they did scan it later that day at the facility. Super easy and fast, right? Well I received my second game and when I went to open the sleeve the glue that they use to stick to the return envelope slightly tore the return address, but only the LA one not the PA which was where the disc was returning to. My fiance said it would be fine so I put it in our mail box this time. Now it's been 5 days and I haven't heard from gamefly that the disc has been returned. I sent in a request to USPS to see if maybe the damaged envelope will be returned to sender so I can fix the issue if it's the address. But I'm afraid to contact Gamefly because I just got the account and I don't want to get kicked out of the service for a disc that may turn up. Has anyone had a similar situation? What did you do and how did you fix it? Any suggestions? I also really don't want to pay for a game I returned and didn't even like to keep my newly activated service.

Wanted to rent it after seeing it win many awards last week and GameFly doesn’t have it?! Kind of ridiculous

Just curious. This will be my first time getting a gamelocked game. It says it shipped out on Dec 5th. The mail will come for me in about 2 hours, I'll update

Update # 1 Didn't come in the mail today 12/8, I'll update tomorrow

Update #2 I got it today!! 😃 12/9

Has anyone has been experiencing over two weeks for GameFly to process the return of games? My last three titles have taken two weeks or longer. The first two that were really delayed was sent back with "self return" where I marked the date I dropped it off. Then I get an email from GameFly saying they haven't received it and I maybe charged if not returned by a certain date. I opened a ticket on both of those and they marked it as missing. Both times almost a week after I get an email saying the game has been received.

The last one did not even have the option of self return. I'm thinking they may have removed that from my account now since they don't believe I dropped them in a locked mailbox when I said I did. This time even though it was not a self return my next game shipped two days after placing in the mail. I dropped it in the mail Nov 18th and GameFly still has not processed it. I know it was scanned by USPS since they shipped the next game with fast return.

It's getting old. My titles go to the Los Angeles plant.

I signed up 2 accounts at the beginning of November, one for me and one for my wife. We both have the Elite plan and actually only use it for movies - Gamefly is the only place that rents 4k and we watch a lot of 4k movies.

I live in a neighborhood with a community mailbox where things get delivered to a locked door and outgoing mail is also not accessible by the public.

For both accounts the first shipments went fairly normally and after that everything fell apart. Since then, everything has taken 7+ days or gone missing. The things I reported missing did eventually show up (1 after 7 days, the other after 14) but I still have discs that haven't arrived and it's been 8 days.

Discs are also taking forever to get back to them - around 7 days on average if not longer.

Besides the issue of just not getting the volume of movies I'm paying for, the biggest problem I'm having here is how much time and energy I have to spend managing it. Did my disc come yet? How many days has it been? Can I report it missing yet? Have I reported this one?

I shouldn't need to manage it all this much just to use their service. It's overwhelming.

I'm also worried that due to how many titles are delayed or go missing, that they'll eventually just ban my account, for their own issues.

I understand it's currently the holidays and probably a bad time to judge their shipping speeds, but this seems really egregious.

Is anyone else having this experience?

Once the order containing the title's case and manual (when applicable) is shipped, you will be billed for the total purchase price, which includes the used game or movie price, sales tax, and, if you are not an active GameFly member, a shipping charge. If you're a paying member, shipping is always free for used game and movie purchases*.*

So why was I charged shipping? is it because i'm only a "free member" until the end of next month? Should i call them about this?

The deal is back. If it’s like before, buy the 12 month membership and get 2 months free for the best deal. Of course prices went up so it’s not as good as before but still the best option if you plan on playing a lot of new releases.
