Thanks for the insult. It's not my fault the USPS is to blame for some of this, and I get the feeling your incompetence isn't helping given your overly defensive nature.
Did you miss the part where I said I was on the phone for a week with USPS (my local office and others)? I know full and well it's not scanned here, but if it's not handled correctly here it's not going to get scanned. This isn't me saying this, it's the half dozen or so supervisors I had to talk to before getting things worked out. Once my carrier was told what to do, games were magically scanned, then when he left my route they magically weren't. When I called, the local supervisor had left and I didn't feel like jumping through hoops like a trained poodle to get something done correctly.

Oct 23rd 2009 1:35PM Yay, conspiracy theories.
Gamefly sends games first class (read the envelope) and they have no reason to hold games like that (use some common sense, if they were going to hold games, they would hold them rather than set a game as returned but with another unshipped).
At any rate, if this was all some conspiracy why even have the fastreturn stuff, which DOES work when the USPS bothers to properly handle the games? It took me a week of calls with the USPS to finally get my post office to properly handle the games so they would get scanned and it worked flawlessly until there was a personnel change at the post office and magically my games were no longer scanned (it's not worth the calls to try and get it straightened out again). You going to try and put that on gamefly as well?

If it's not the USPS' fault, whose is it? Did Gamefly lose games in a void for days? Is it Gamefly that can't get mail across 390 miles (Louisville to Pittsburgh) any faster than 2000 miles (Louisville to LA)? Is it Gamefly that gives priority to other mailings? is it Gamefly that won't work with Gamefly to improve shipping?
Gamefly's problems aren't all linked to the USPS, but to sit there and act like the USPS isn't complicit in many of their problems (if not by far their most glaring problem) is ludicrous.

Oct 23rd 2009 12:28AM Ironically enough, there is an ad under my 2 games out saying "For less than 25¢ a day you could have a fourth game out!"

Oct 22nd 2009 9:19PM It's nice to know they are working hard on stuff like this when I go day after day without a game being shipped.
