Last week, Gamefly sent word that they have finally opened their Austin, TX shipping center. The new center appears to serve Texas and states in the American heartland (see image). In addition, Gamefly promised more distro centers are on the way. Based on the current coverage area, a center in the NE (Boston area), Midwest (St Louis or Denver) or far Northwest (Seattle or Portland areas) appear to be logical destinations. Check out the e-mail announcement after the break. We're excited to announce the opening of our newest Shipping Center in Austin, TX! Our Austin center will allow us to ship game rentals to the entire U.S. faster than ever. |

Quote By NON GOTHIC same here even though I've been a member twice now it may actaully get to me faster I dont think the new shipping center will shit to Virginia so you would probably have the same shipping center that you had before

yeah it is pretty f'n stupid. I even email them about it and all they sent me was some automated response like "we are glad for your interest....our new shipping center in Austin TX will allow gamers to get their games faster blah blah blah. They didnt even answer the question I sent them, is pisses me off how some companies run their shit ______________________________

They didnt even answer the question I sent them, is pisses me off how some companies run their shit I wouldn't get too worked up over this. There could be several reasons (all speculative, but possible): 1. You will be getting a new shipping center (St Louis?) that will take over for California in the near future, so it makes no sense to change shipping center twice. 2. Currently, the United States Post Office (who Gamefly relies on) may have better logistics and makes it easier, cheaper or faster to ship from California to Mizzou than they do from Texas. Sometimes a straight line isn't the fastest or best way... 3. Now that the Texas center is open, California will have a ton of pressure removed from it so they should be more efficient and faster. I'm thinking #1 is the most logical answer, especially in light of GameFly saying new shipping centers are coming... Z ______________________________
