(Assuming you choose free shipping) If you order a bundle of games, at least 2 or more they ship faster, otherwise it's by the donkey shipping...

Yeah, I placed two orders yesterday morning. One for Catherine and Legend of Troy and a second one for Bit.Trip. I got my Catherine/Troy shipment this afternoon, but not the shipment of Bit.Trip.

Free next-day delivery = win.

I would've said no, but to each their own.

Aw man I was really hoping they shipped the Deus Ex today but for some reason they still haven't done it even though I placed the order in the morning. :l

Got Catherine and Dungeon Siege III today. Both in great shape!

got my gamefly goodies today.
deus ex ps3- slipcover/case/manual/square pts= 10/10, disc= 9/10. 1 lil chip.
dungeon siege iii 360- case/manual/square pts= 10/10, disc= 8/10- lots of light surface scratches, dirty, many chips, etc.

For some reason whenever i order games from Gamefly they arrive the very next day from the day that it is shipped. I ordered Deus Ex by itself yesterday around 9 AM and by mid day i got an email that my order had shipped. My only explanation is that there's a gamefly shipping center close to here? The envelope the game came in said the return address was PA but there's no way in hell that it would get here that fast (i chose free shipping). Like i said my best guess is that there is a gamefly shipping center close to here, i know it's a totaly different company but netflix has a shipping center just a few minutes from my house.

theres a gamefly shipping center in long beach. thats pretty close to you lol
they shipped my games from long beach as well -im in san jose-.

Then that explains why i receive my games so fast! Long Beach is less than 40 minutes away from me!

I got Catherine in the mail today...gamefly is fast as .

What amazes me the most isnt just the time of delivery, but that when i ask Gamefly why it takes 8 days instead of the 6 it should take ( 3 to return a game and 3 to receive next game) I'm told theres processing. You guys seem to bypass the processing in addition to your quick delivery lol.

By the way interesting that the game I purchased last week still hasnt come, but I received the new rental game that they say they sent out 4 days later (monday) in 2 days. I guess maybe thats good news, at least I know it can be done quicker. I just don't know why it isnt.

I still think that GF must hold back games by a few days saying they're 'processing' so people aren't overusing their rental plan they're on.

Picked up DE:HR

I was on the fence about ordering it, but if I saw it at Target sitting there, I'm sure I'd grab it. Thanks for the tip.

in my limited understanding:
purchase 1 game: Media Mail Shipping (=SLOW)
purchase 2 games: Priority Mail box (Fast!)

For rentals, it seems to depend on a lot of things - including where in the queue you are (for the day?), whether they have the game in the closest processing center, and how close you are to the center.

for me, Syndicate shipped 2/18/12 and it arrived 2/21/12 (release day)...If not for the postal holiday, it would have arrived monday (day early!), but I think they choose when to ship (brand new games) based on it arriving on release day. I've had a bunch of new games delivered on release day with gamefly.
but
if you're getting an older game with fewer copies available (or a newer game in high demand), it may take them a bit longer to dig out the game. in your account, you can see when the games were received, and when they shipped the next one, if you make note of the date they arrive each time, you can get some precise numbers on delivery times/etc.

Also bought Dues Ex, Hunted, Brink and Transformers: Dark of the Moon all for 360...$43 for all not bad:-)

Got Brink during the BestBuy $5 craze, worst video game purchase I have ever made, just my opinion.

this deal is so piss without Catherine lol. i wish theyd restock. no catherine + no free shipping = epic fail of a deal.

more like epic fail of a cag. you were probably too busy telling someone about how you found railfan at gamestop...
