Gamefly


I recently joined Gamefly about a month and a half ago and so far its been the most inconsistent service I've encountered. In my trial period I was able to get the top games in my game queue and get Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (good game) the day it was released! Needless to say I was pretty happy with the service and all seemed to be going well. Then with the return of Harry Potter and the end of my trial came the wait. I sent back Harry Potter and it only took three days to get to their warehouse so I was extremely pleased. I checked my email Friday morning and found that they had recieved the game. All right I can't wait for my next one. Then Friday passed and no game appeared to have begun the shipping process. So i waited, no big problem. Then Saturday comes and goes and still my next game hasn't shipped. Now I'm pretty pissed cause the post doesn't come on Sunday, so I'm waiting even longer for my game. On Tuesday it finally arrives, so I decide to let it slide cause I have my game and I'm pretty excited to play it. I finish NBA Street Homecourt(my other game)s in about a day (yea its that easy) and send it back to them. Now it gets back to them in again three days and the SAME THING HAPPENS.I wait four days before my game even starts the shipping process! This ticks me off so much that I'm ready to quit the service but I decide that there are a few more games I want to try before I quit and its only costing me 12.95 because of brightspot.tv (watch commercials and you can get up to $10 off gamefly) so not a bad deal eh'. Wrong! Gamefly charges me the regular $22! So I write an e-mail to them explaining my problems and I wait about 3 weeks for them to get back to me. In that time there were no more problems with games, in fact all of them returned with fast track(post office scans them so you can get your games faster) and got here 3 days after I sent my games back. So three days total turnaround time! I accidentally shipped my own game to them and they sent me another slip for the game and are returning my game right now before I even noticed it was gone. Now that's what I call service! And to make things even better gamefly is taking ten dollars off my next bill and my brightspot account is activated so I can get another 10 dollars from off making it a grand total of $2 and my future bills will be 12 dollars! Besides that little hiccup, gamefly has surpassed my expectations and it is a service that I would reccomend to everyone.
