I have Netflix and gamefly. Both companies have shipping centers in Pittsburgh. More often than not, I can send games and DVDs back on the same day, they arrive at the same time and the next items on my queues are sent around the same time. However, my Netflix will come in while my games end up a day late. This doesn’t surprise me. I have Netflix and gamefly. Both companies have shipping centers in Pittsburgh.

So I have no idea if they stopped or took a hiatus - wasn't attempting to shame you! :) The only thing I can think of that would break them is some postal carrier forcing it into a too-small mailbox or an industrial shredder at postal facilities.

I've got a couple of those sleeves sitting around right now. I'm thinking of last year when I suddenly stopped receiving them for a while. At some point they started showing up again, not sure when. Post updated to provide the appropriate level of public shaming. Dave, you’re absolutely right. I’ve got a couple of those sleeves sitting around right now.

Especially since my all of my Gamefly discs have come enclosed in a cardboard sleeve, unlike my Netflix discs. I've had zero broken GF games, several broken Netflix DVDs. Although, I suspect it was the mail carrier at my last address who was responsible. (And I also receive a higher quantity of DVDs than games.) Hm, interesting.
