Quick Gamefly question
Has Gamefly added more distribution centers?
I used to subscribe to them, but switched to the cheaper/faster Gameznflix. They've been incredibly underwhelming lately....now it takes a day or two after they get my game for them to send out a new one, and it's much more difficult to get the game you want. I've had Wii games on my list for almost a month and a half, and still haven't gotten one.
I'd switch back to Gamefly if they've added another distribution center closer than L.A.

I'm pretty sure all the games still come from the one shipping center. I've tried other rental services, one that is less than 100 miles from me, and GameFly is still the fastest even on the other side of the country. The Fast Return feature they have certainly helps speed the process up a bit too.

I just rejoined Thursday night and received my 2 rentals today. (GoW & Marvel UA)
Their website only mentions one distribution center.

Yep, only one center. It makes it worth it if the PO in your area is part of fast return. I can't seem to find a list of them before signing up though. When I was in VA my PO did not participate in fast return and the turn around time was horrible. Here in NE my PO is in fast return and much better. If I mail a game on monday morning, it gets scanned, they will mail the next game usually on that tuesday I will have it by friday.
gameznflix is cheaper but they never had games i wanted. plus gamefly has DS games which is the main reason why I chose them.

Yeah, I'm actually considering going back. Does anyone have a link to a free trial?
Is anyone here who has it farther East than Indiana? How are your shipping times?
Have shipping times improved at all in the past, say, 4-5 months?

Oh sorry, thought my location was in my Profile. I'm in New Hampshire.

Instead of creating a new Gamefly thread, I thought I'd post this here, since my question is somewhat similar:
I'm a first-time Gamefly subscriber, and they shipped two games on Monday (the 5th). I already checked my mail today (Friday) and still nothing. Should I be worried, or is this normal time? I live in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Maybe I'm just used to Netflix and Blockbuster Online shipping really quick, but I'm starting to think that someone took them out of my box or had them delivered elsewhere by accident.

It takes about 3 days for Gamefly games to get to me after they ship them, and I'm on the east coast. I'd give it another day or two and then maybe notify Gamefly that the games haven't arrived yet.
