USPS worker steals over 2000 GameFly games
This will certainly add to the ongoing battle between GameFly and the United States Postal Service: a USPS worker has been caught and admitted in court that he stole over 2200 GameFly discs from his workplace.
The man was busted after surveillance showed test mailing of fake discs disappear during his shift, and found 170 discs in his SUV. It was later discovered that he was apparently trading the discs at the local GameStop.
GameFly files more complaints against the USPS
GameFly filed a complaint against the United States Postal Service back in April where it accused the USPS of favoring Netflix and Blockbuster mail, and overall treating the GameFly mail with little care. This time, GameFly is complaining about “Netflix only” post boxes set up around the country, and has filed a petition of information regarding the matter. GameFly also elaborated on the complaint that its parcels were mistreated, to which the USPS noted that GameFly should update its packaging. We’ll see how this ends. Any GameFly members out there with bad experience with the service from the USPS?
GameFly accuses USPS of breaking game discs
Game rental service GameFly has filed an official complaint with the Postal Regulatory Commission against United States Postal Service, claiming that USPS breaks thousands of game discs each year, and favors competitors Netflix and Blockbuster.
GameFly revealed that the company ships almost 600,000 discs each month, while receiving over 500,000 discs returned form customers. GameFly estimates that up to two percent of games are broken, which leads to a loss of almost 300,000 dollars a month — 3.6 million each year in costs of replacing the discs.
