Personally I've had no trouble at all with them, and I've used them many times with Gox and CampBX.
I'm still a bit wary of them after the way they treated Tradehill and other exchanges back in the day though.
Topic: Does anyone else hate Dwolla? (Read 874 times)
My experiences with Dwolla have been great.
Yes, it takes a few days to fund my Dwolla account, but ANY ACH transfer takes that long. But, once my money is in my Dwolla account, sending it to CampBX or to someone I am trading with on #bitcoin-otc is instant.
I like Dwolla and have begun asking my clients in my non-bitcoin business to use it instead of Pay Pal and credit cards to pay me.

My only problem with Dwolla is the amount of time it takes ACH funds to arrive in my account (usually 5 business days total) which usually ends up being 7 days or so due to the weekends. I see the money leave my bank account usually the day after I start the transfer from Dwolla (which is normal), it then takes them 4+ business days to credit my account. I know ACH doesn't take that long as I get ACH funds from Paypal in a 3 day turn around.
As for everything else, been super smooth.

My only complaint with Dwolla is a glaring lack of 2FA.
I find the Dwolla transactions to have the least fees when dealing with Campbx. The transaction is super fast. Hard part is funding dwolla.
I had a terrible first experience with Dwolla, the customer service gave me the run around on whether they had my funds or not. Every time I contacted them I got a different answer. Will never use them again.
I have appreciated the few transactions for which I have used Dwolla. I didn't feel the service was slower than any other bank. Indeed my last transactions went much faster than I thought they would.
Days before the Gox freeze, to my amazement, I transferred a small of funds from Gox to Dwolla in under 3 hours. And right afterward I transferred it back to Gox in about 1 day. My few CampBX transactions through Dwolla have been fine.
I find Dwolla's site design pleasing and usable. I have yet to see a professional looking Bitcoin web site though Coinbase is pretty close. EDIT: I neglected to include Gox as well!

Hmmm, I guess it's different for everyone. I personally did not have a good experience, guess it varies.

I think that Dwolla might be the worst run intermediary source of routing funds I have ever seen or used in my life. I literally have used it twice; once for bitcoins and once for something else. Both times took forever to get payment and send payment (after being verified etc.,). Customer service is the slowest in the world, and their website looks like a copied template from any of those javascript websites, Stock Photo galore.
Contrary to the title, does anyone actually LIKE this service or before payment freezing had a good experience? Just curious.
