I just got an email from Gamefly after I reported a third lost title in the last 3 months. I understand their reasoning but think that maybe they should try and solve this problem, since I have heard it happening on a more frequent basis. Maybe they should make their packaging a little more dicreet, rather than a bright orange envelope that says "I am worth $50. Take Me". I think it sucks being banned, but I guess they have a business to run.
"It may have been delayed or even lost in the mail and I can report it as
such. Unfortunately, this would mean an excessive amount of games on your
account have been noted as lost. It is company policy to close any account
on which a disproportionate amount of discs have been lost and not
recovered.
A refund for unused time has been issued back to your account in the amount
of $2.34.
We realize this is not your fault, but there may be a systemic problem with
your postal route or local post office which is causing these discs to be
lost at an abnormal rate. Our business model simply cannot support this rate
of loss. As such, we have made the difficult decision to cancel your
account. We may be able to reactivate your account in the future if some of
the discs are recovered.
As an optional alternative, you may also decide to pay for the replacement
of any of the games indicated as lost.
Please mail back any games that you may currently have out. I am very sorry
it didn't work out.
Please contact us again if/when you receive an auto-generated e-mail
indicating any of the lost games have been received, as we may be able to
reactivate your account at that time.
Thank you,
