Ok, so I know right now that all I can do is wait it out. But come on, really? I read tons of these, so I just thought I would write up my experience. So, I have sent two games out before I even tried to match for a game I wanted. I confirmed them as soon as they matched and selected 1 day because I knew I was about to drop them off. I even fedexed them and sent the tracking number as soon as I got it. My guys got their games in 2 days I believe. Now I got matched for Gears of War. It took 5 days for me to get it, no big deal. Well I also got matched for Unreal Tournament 3 and they guy told me he was shipping it that day, but put 3 day on it just to be safe. So the game should have gone out on the 18th at the latest. I live in Texas and I believe the game is coming from Tennessee. I have tried to keep in contact with the seller and he sent me a message last Thursday saying that he forgot to send it and he was sending it out Priority that day. Here it is a fricken week later, and still no game. Should I just try to cancel the trade because they guy said he was going to send it Priority with a Tracking Number and Delivery Confirmation, but I still have heard NOTHING from him. SO I guess I wait? Loose the chance to match up with someone else and have my points taken back away from this user?

its taken me 2 weeks to get a game before; it sucks when you have to wait, but isn't all that common; if you dont receive it, simply leave negative feedback at 20 days.
I'm waiting for a game that was supposedly shipped on the 14th. I guess I will wait a little longer. PM'd the seller but no response yet. Mine only has to come from NY to MA.
I feel your pain.
It sucks when you get the first one fairly quickly, only to have your dreams of opening that mailbox up and seeing that everything went right two time in a row, smashed into tiny pieces of false hope and anger. I have to take my one year old son outside with me to check the mail just to keep from smashing the mail box LOL. But seriously, if you are not going to be a good trader, then don't trade games on here.
I think that part of the problem is that in our culture we have come to want everything 'yesterday'. (Myself included.)
Just take some deep breaths before you go to the mailbox. Remember, it is only a game. Pick up the pieces of your dreams, which have been smashed into tiny pieces of false hope and anger, get some superglue, and put them back together like a puzzle. That should keep you occupied for a while. LOL

Games have come on the 20th day for me I believe 4 times out of the 26 I've recieved. Things happen, and a week later isn't too bad. Trust me, I definately understand your frustration, but in the grand scheme of things, a week or two later is really not that bad.
I think I'll add to this discussion of distance.
Currently, my wife and I are stationed in South Korea. I joined Goozex from over here, and only yesterday added any games to my stash/offer pages. Luckily, within hours of placing them up, I get two requests and have already shipped them out.
Considering my location, they'll likely take 7-10 days or more to arrive where they're headed, so some people have no choice but to take a bit of time with delivery.
