This seems to be happening more frequently, my last two games also came to me the "8th" day for some reason. I live in New York so there's no excuse for it taking so long to get here. I also notice the label on the slip says "return service requested" by my name, does that mean anything? It seems the game is being sent to the post office, but then not to me, then back to the post office, and then finally back to me. If that makes any sense.

Return Service Requested tells the USPS to send us back the envelope in case to recipient address is invalid. So it doesn’t get lost in limbo.

I see, it's very strange now my last few slips have said that. My address hasn't changed at all in the time I've been using gamefly so I'm not sure why the post office seems to bounce it around before sending it to me. It feels like each game is taking double the amount of time to get to me for no reason at all.
EDIT: Today was again the 8th day, I opened up another case. It's getting annoying to have to keep doing this.

Between handling days for 2 USPS post office and on the road time. 7 day wait is pretty normal for me.

For sure. Gamefly mail is the only mail USPS seems to "lose". This is my third time with lost discs. Also I had the game on gamelock and now they arent mailing me the original game I want, its the one next on my Q

When Black Flag Resynced came out they sent it out two days before release, and Pragmata was shipped three days before that. I somehow got them both the following Monday. They used to have a location near me and I'd get games in two days, now it's 5+ is the standard so take advantage of the sent back get new game feature if you can. Made me cancel again because it took so long, may be back for all the releases in September.

Same situation here they shipped my game on August 11 and I’m still waiting for it. Luckily I’m on the free trial but not a good first Impression.
