Wondering if anybody here that uses them has all of a sudden have games take much longer to get to you?? for 5 years they have always gotten to me in 3-4 days then all of sudden the past 2 games take 6-10 days to get to me.. has something changed? I am not real happy with this and actually ended up renting the game I wanted from redbox.

Which game?

I just started using it and have had two separate mailings come in, both got to me on the 3rd day.

I'm new so I'm not sure, but doesn't the shipping time depend on the availability of the game?

For about 5 years i've always gotten my games 3-4 days and now all of sudden for this to happen is absurd.. so calling the post office about it got me nowhere at all coz they are douchebags.. so I have to assume either somebody stole them or they just lazy assholes.

Check under your account which warehouse you receive your games from. Every now and then they'll change them and it will affect how long it takes for you to get games. I use to get them from kentucky and then i got switched to pennsylvania and it took forever and then i cancelled. 10-12 days though someone probably stole the game. If you don't have any history of that then its no big deal and they'll send you the next one right away. After you file 2 I didnt get my games even if you legitimately didn't get them they start getting curious and track them.

I use Gamefly. It's nice, but I realize that having one game out at a time isn't that great, may switch to 2 games out. If you beat a game in a week, you're going to wait a week to get the next game under one game out at a time. Too much downtime.

Also, in terms of taking a while to get games, if it's a really new game, you pretty much need to get on the list (like Q it up weeks before it comes out) to get it fast, otherwise you're basically waiting on people that were ahead of you to send it back in (it should tell you availability on the game in question).

Yeah I always have gotten new games when they come out.. something tells me some new asshole employee stole the game.

    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
