Once they alert me that they have gotten my game it usually takes about 2 days for them to ship me my next one and 2-3 days for them to get it to me. I live in Virginia and my shipping center is in Pittsburgh. Doesn't seem that efficient but it is what it is I guess.

It takes one to two days for them to get the game, and 2 to 3 to recieve the game after it is shipped from them. Why its faster to return the game, than it is to ship it is beyond me.

I live in NC and the games came from a Distribution center in FL took 2 to 3 days after I mailed them off for them to mail them to me so it took 4 to 6 days total for me.to receive games. That was the reason I dropped gamefly. They need to allow temporary game on demand on the systems so you can stream them to your console and remove them when you want a new one.

Been a week since I sent my game back, 4 days since they've had it and still no new game shipped. Complained to customer service they said it's because I only have new games in my Q, Now of the 35 games in my Q apparently they are all unavailable, only two have been released in the last 6 months 3 say available now and most are crappy games I'm playing only to boost gamerscore. So draw your own conclusions

I live in Western Massachusetts and about 90% of the time I get mine in about 2 days. A couple times i've received games a week later than a game that was actually shipped earlier but that's usually a fluke and might have to do with my mailbox getting plowed off after every friggin' snowstorm.

I live about 45 minutes from there distribution center in pa. i could drive there and pick up my game.

for me, it'S not receiving the games that'S the problem; it'S getting them back to gamefly. it usually takes only two or three days for a game to reach me after it'S been shipped, but it often takes eight or nine days for gamefly to receive a game i'Ve sent back to them. what could possibly be their excuse for that?

I usually get mine in 3-5 days. How long it takes depends on many factors:
- Shipping delays and minor shipping difficulties (no mail on sundays/ overwhelming amount of mail after the weekends or holidays...)
- Your GameQ. If most of your games are new or have a low availlabliy it'll take a while for them to send you one.
- The day you send the game back. I try to return mine before the weekend or after. Sending the game on weekdays tends to make the process go faster, I'm not sure why. maybe because less people send mail on weekdays? idk.
_finally, even though i dont completely blame gamefly for it, it's possible that they would slack off sometimes.

it usually depends from what supplier you get it from if the game you want is low in availability they will ship it from other suppliers like for ex: i want call of duty black ops and my main supplier is LA but its low in availability so they will send the game from the other supply lines like PA those usually take a week or so but if your main supply line has there availability at medium or more it will be at your mail box by 2 thru 3 days, and when you mailed it back they have a program with the post office that will let them know if a game is in there way back but for that to work you first need to send a email to gamefly about you putting the game back and thats how it works

I'm guessing it depends on the distance of your primary shipper. Mine is in Tampa, I live in the West side of the Panhandle of Florida. Generally takes 2 days for my sendbacks to make it, and 3-4 for the games to get to me.

i live in a college town that is literally like 2 hours away from the austin shipping center. all of the games in my gameq are upcoming games and i always have an available spot for the next game. seeing how gamefly is shipping games on the day before the midnight release of it, i literally get the game on the morning of the official release date.

only a few times have i gotten the game in 2 days. it'S nice to live in a place so close to the shipping center. but in my folks' place, which is more like 3 hours away, it takes them 2-3 days.
