But I did get an interesting email about how my next game will ship. Apparently they've set up a deal with the post office to ship from postal center instead of Gamefly central warehouse.
FastReturn™ is a service, in partnership with the U.S. Postal Service, we developed to improve delivery times to GameFly members.
FastReturn™ will start the processing of your next game as soon as we receive confirmation from the U.S. Postal Service that a game has been returned in the mail. If we receive a valid U.S. Postal Service scan, you will no longer need to wait until we receive the returned game in our warehouse before we send the next available game in your GameQ!
NOTE: GameFly may not receive scans and we will not process a FastReturn™ if one of the following occurs:
Your mail is processed at a U.S. Postal Service facility that does not have scanning equipment.
Your mail is not processed according to U.S. Postal Service standard operating procedures.
The barcode on your mailer is damaged.
Also, Gamefly doesn't offer an RSS feed of what's currently out, what's in your queue, etc. Some standard stuff I think would make the service look a little more legit.

They've actually done this for quite some time now. The only thing you need to be sure of is whether or not your local post office scans the games. If they don't it obviously doesn't work. But all hope is not lost. It can sometimes just be a matter of mailing your games back from a different location... say from work instead of home. Experiment and it should click eventually. The post office leaves a little to be desired on this end but once you find one that scans the games you're set.
As for RSS feeds... no, they don't offer that but all you have to do is login to your account and all the information about what you currently have out, what's in your queue, etc... is right there.
