So I recently subscribed to gamefly after doing a free trial. I had some reservations about subscribing because shipping times haven't been stellar (specifically shipping games back has been slow), but I found a deal I couldn't pass up (3 months, 2 games out at a time, 31 dollars).
My question: is there a way to force gamefly's fast return feature (where the post office scans the game so gamefly can be notified of its return and ship the next game faster)? My post office can scan stuff, but the 4 times I've shipped a game back I never got a notification for fast return, and it took about a week to get my next game. I tried asking the front desk people if they could scan it, but they said there was nothing for them to scan. Upon further inspection I noticed something that looks barcodey on the envelope, but not of the standard variety. After googling I learned it's called an intelligent mail barcode (imb for short); not sure if this is something the front end people can scan, or if it's scanned in sorting. If it's the latter, what's preventing it from being scanned? How can I remedy this issue?

In the past I've subscribed to GameFly - several times, in fact. While the cost was generally worth it, and the ability to keep games for rather cheap and get the original case and manual Man was very nice, I always had issues with the quality of the service. There weren't many shipping facilities, so games would take upwards of a week to arrive, meaning that the time between sending a game back and getting a new one was sometimes two weeks, which I found unacceptable. On top of that, they always seemed to have very little inventory of anything, so to get a new game at release I had to send my current game back a few days ahead of time, delete everything but the new game I want off of my Q, and force them to send me that one. This wasn't a huge issue, but it wasn't the most convenient.
But I see that they're still around and continue to advertise pretty heavily, so I'm sure there's at least a good reason for it. I know they were planning adding new distribution centers a while back, so that issue may have been taken care of.

So here I am, about to move out on my own, trying to make the most of my income, and wondering: has GameFly improved at all since last time I used it? I see they have a free trial, but I won't even bother with that unless they have made some kind of improvement, particularly regarding the speed of delivery. Like I said, it isn't the cost I'm worried about, it's just the periods of time where I will go without having a game from them, and constantly checking my Q to make sure they have enough of what I want in stock. If any of you currently subscribe, I'd love to know your experience.
