So... I signed up for a free trial and added a few games to my que.
So... how soon do I get a game sent to me?

It takes a while, unfortunately. In my experiences, it would take a week to get the games all the way to my door (although often I would get lucky and it would only take 6 days. ) Although it's been a few years since I last rented from them. Maybe they've gotten quicker now. (At least I would hope they did.)

Gamefly used to have a ridiculous turnaround time for me...it's why I unsubscribed at least 5 times in the past. Haven't been subscribed since 2017 or 16...
The only time I found some use for it was to do the 2 at a time plan because at least I'd always have something to play....

It’s been many years since I’ve been subscribed. It usually took 3 days for a game to arrive or return to them.

I would definitely do the two or three games at a time plan back in the day, that way while I was waiting for one to return and get the next one, I could play the other one i had.
When Netflix started, Blockbuster had a mail service for a while and you could return the rental in store instead of through the mail and you'd get a free rental. Worked for games in store, too. That got me through college without cable or anything. No wonder Blockbuster went under.

I'll occasionally sign up for a month or two of it when they offer me a free trial. I think it's too unreliable to keep around longterm but it can be pretty useful as the occasional cheap way to catch up on things I've been putting off.
