I have been waiting ~72 hours for my payment to go through. I contacted customer support ~60 hours ago and haven't received a response. Zipzap says the payment has gone through successfully:

Email: wtrispsn (at gmail)
Order ID   3c322204-1a12-4685-917c-e932f8a72d0a
Quote ID   ?
Event ID   ?
Fees (inclusive)   3.99%%
Amount you paid   $203.95 USD
Amount you will receive   $200.00 USD
Destination exchange   MtGox
Destination account   M80380513X

Zipzap ID: 499 723 112

There was some confusion entering the destination account when I initially made the order, but I promptly contacted support via the website about the mistake. Can I get some help correcting the destination account and getting my order pushed through? Thanks!

Did you log your issue with our main support channel?  bitinstant.com/contact

Did you receive an automated response that stated we have logged your issue and we are working on a solution?

I did do both of the above, but I hope you can understand my concern as a first-time customer with depositing a sum and not receiving any acknowledgement besides automation for multiple days (the website claims that most transfers will be done in minutes, and if not, then they will be completed within 24 hours).

I realize that using the Mt.Gox account name instead of the account ID is my fault and is most likely the cause of this, but, in my defense, Mt.Gox says that the account name is acceptable.

Might I suggest adding some validation to this field on your order page? An input mask and a regular expression on the "Mt. Gox account ID" field would go a long way towards rectifying this problem.

Thanks

I believe our site lists the MX number as preferred right on the front page.  No worries though.  We will fix your issue!  Thanks for your patience!


You guys fixed that fast! Great support, will use again! Thanks!

I went to Moneygram on April 7 & made a deposit to my account, I got the ZipZap confirmation/receipt via email, but never the Bitinstant, and I still have not received the coins.

Do you have any info about your order?

I have the receipt from Wal-Mart/Moneygram & 2 of the ZipZap emails.

I received an email from RC BitInstant, however they have not fixed my execution price and say that it is FEES for our service.
It was an incorrect execution price and it was my understanding that it would be fixed. On top of that, I still wish for a refund of the fees
as well, it makes no sense to pay for a service fee when you don't receive the service. The service fee was for receiving my BTC at the correct rate
and promptly, which BitInstant failed on both accounts. I want the money I didn't receive from the execution price delay as well as a refund of the fees.

I had a similar email. I was told that at the time my order was submitted, the price was around 180$/BTC.
In my order, after fees, it said I would be receiving 96.01$ worth of BTC (104$ total paid. 0.05$ kiosk fee, 3.95$ fee to zipzap, leaving a 100$ payment to Bitinstant, paying 3.99% to fees for transaction type of zipzap>bitcoin address).

So by my math, I should have received approximately .5333889 BTC (96.01$/(180$/BTC))

I received .39751218 BTC, and I don't see anywhere on the BitInstant site (which was linked to me in the email) where another 20% in fees would come from, and .1BTC would be generous for a miner's fee.

Folks, I have received my deposit to Gox, after about 17 days. However, it's only been about 3 days since I logged my complaint here. . Ursay I want to thank you for sticking to your word. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed that I still got charged bitinstant fees... and that on top of that I have to pay $100 per btc instead of the $85 it would have been if my deposit had been processed correctly. But, somehow I feel like I won today, and I suppose that's worth something. Thanks.

Thanks for posting.  Again I apologize for any issues you have experienced.  If you will allow me to open a ticket for you regarding your execution price I will try to resolve the issue for you.  Would this be okay?  Smiley

Absolutely. Just tell me what to do and I'll be on it faster than whores on crack.  Grin  

Folks, be patient and give these guys a chance to help. If you provide the appropriate information in the correct places, you will get your money. Even I was skeptical at first, but I think it's clear that these guys are getting it done.

Order ID # ?


This is the one I got today which successfully deposited funds to gox:  
OrderID: 64a95439-ebb8-4fc1-8b0d-52439abbbdb9


This one is the original I got on Match 28:  OrderID: 412773bf-8dc9-4316-99be-317fe346947e





THANK YOU URSAY  !!!

I'm sorry but could you please be clear about what I am looking into?  I only need information regarding orders that you have a problem with.  Thanks for clarifying!  Smiley


Ursay, You asked me to provide you with an order ID so you could look into an execution price. In my last post, I provided you with both the order ID for my original transaction on march 28, which was unsuccessful( when BTC was $85), and the order ID for the successful deposit that finally made it to my gox account today. I wasn't sure which you would need in order to look into the execution price, so I gave you both. Please let me know if there's something else I need to do. Thanks much.

Give me exact figures.  What did you receive?  What did you expect?


@URSAY

Oh , got ya. Well, at the time of my deposit on March 28 btc was apx. $85, and today was bought at $95.90. I saw it posted here that Bitinstant would be honoring the BTc value at that time of their failed deposits. But how do you do that if the BTC was purchased from GOX and BI isn't actually supplying me with the BTC? Honestly, I'd just be happy if Bitinstant would reimburse me for it's transaction fees at least. I mean, I don't wanna sound like too much of a bitch , but putting me through what BI just put me through for 2 weeks, costing me $ in BTC value, and then charging me apx. $25 for its service just feels a bit like a slap in the face to me.

Escalated your request for fee reversal.  Smiley


@URSAY

Last night, shortly after you posted this, I received an email from Mandrik  :


"Sorry for the delay! I just manually processed your order, and you should receive your funds shortly. Thanks!

---
Sincerely,
Mandrik  "

I assumed it was in response to the fee refund you mentioned, but as of this morning I am still not seeing anything. I just wanna make sure I'm looking in the right place for the right thing. Can you tell me anything about this? Thanks



URSAY,

    I was exchanging pm with you, but I'll just post my email here.   [email protected].  This is in regard to :  OrderID: 64a95439-ebb8-4fc1-8b0d-52439abbbdb9
   You were escalating a refund for bitinstant fees attached to this order. I received the above email from mandrik last night saying my order was processed. I assumed it was the refund, but have not received anything. You asked me for my email address so you could look into it. I hope I've given you the necessary info. Thank you very much for the effort.

Thanks for providing useful info!  What BTC addy would you like your funds sent to?  Thanks!  Smiley

Thank you URSAY  !!!





Got it ty!

HI URSAY,
  Not a complaint here, just more of an FYI. The refund has not found its way to me yet. Just wanted to keep you posted on it and keep myself on the radar. I know you folks are very busy. Thanks again.

These price execution issues take time to research.  Thanks for being patient.  Smiley

Thanks dude. But just to be clear, it's a fee reversal and not a price execution issue.

Can you please look int my issues?
I posted here on the 9th and sometime later was told I was added to the support queue but never heard anything after that.

I emailed you, like you asked, and you emailed me back saying I was in the support queue but never heard anything after that.

I then went to the contact page on the bitinstant page and filled out those forms, got a automated reply saying it would be looked into, and never heard anything back.

Can you please look into these?

I tried to send $250.00 directly to Bitstamp. (ZipZap already took its 3.95 and confirmed it sent you the rest)

And this one for $30 which was a transfer rom Dwolla to Bitstamp.The money was removed from my Dwolla account, but never added to my BitStamp account.

I received an email from RC BitInstant, however they have not fixed my execution price and say that it is FEES for our service.
It was an incorrect execution price and it was my understanding that it would be fixed. On top of that, I still wish for a refund of the fees
as well, it makes no sense to pay for a service fee when you don't receive the service. The service fee was for receiving my BTC at the correct rate
and promptly, which BitInstant failed on both accounts. I want the money I didn't receive from the execution price delay as well as a refund of the fees.

I will resubmit your ticket asking for fee reversal.  Smiley
