I was recently told that BitInstant uses MtGox's price to sell coins, and that you get the coins at the same price they were when you made your deposit. This is unacceptable as MtGox is frozen at twice the price of the exchange I addressed my deposit to and it has been FIVE hours since I made the deposit. I could have easily made profit by riding the dips on the other exchange, but apparently I will come into the market already having lost 50% of my investment.

Are these things true, and if so, what do you plan to make it right?

Execution prices depend on the type of service you used and multiple other current market factors. If you have further questions or would like to open a ticket check out bitinstant.com/contact

Thanks! Cheesy

I came here because I do not plan on sending another ticket and having myself re-queued. I don't really appreciate the non-answer, or your use of a smilie when talking about my predicament. I think it's pretty easy to see that my next questions will have to be more straightforward, so here goes:

Are you going to charge me $120 for BTCs that are now worth $60-$70?

I used Moneygram through ZipZap and yourself to send BTCs to an address for an exchange I am a member of. What are the implications of these "services" and the "current market conditions" relating to my deposit?

I'm sorry but I have no previous issues logges with you. All support issues not go thru btinstant.com/contact

Often times the issues that you might think are "simple" are not that simple. Thanks for your understanding! Cheesy

I'm quite sure you have a ticket with me.

URSAY,

I have made a order through blockchain.info 4 days ago and don't received any quote ID or order ID. Could you help with this?

My ZipZap acct # is 929681716

Resent your order thru manually. You may see some results soon. Thanks! Cheesy

URSAY, is there any chance you could try to push mine? I'm on the 4/9 list

Just resent manually. Also tried this yesterday. You issue may have to be resolved in another way but we will continue working to find out. Cheesy

Hey URSAY just an update, I don't see any activity on blockchain.info on the bitcoin address that I requested the funds sent to. at this point I will take a MtGOX code, dwolla transfer whatever. Thanks for the manual push though. Thanks

You do however, have a logged issue with me.

I also sent a Moneygram through ZipZap in an attempt to fund a btc address. My question is the same as DM334.

Am I going to pay >$120 for a bitcoin that is now worth $60-$80?

And let me reiterate, I've already submitted my issue at bitinstant.com/contact. It won't let me do it again.

How about you give me a straight answer instead of the runaround like everybody else?

Yesterday I placed 3 orders on bitinstant and two of them were delivered but the first one i had placed (chronologically) hasn't come.
I filled out the support form also, and the e-mail said that i should expect my funds within 12 hours which has not been the case, and that after 24 hours (which is rapildy approaching) that my order will be escalated.

All support requests now go thru...

bitinstant.com/contact

Thanks! Cheesy

That is the point though, I did that, and the email I received in response stated that I should have my funds within 12 hours, and that escalation would occur after 24. The e-mail instructed me not to do it more than the one time I did otherwise I could lose my position in Queue. Currently the only other ways I know to get in contact with you guys is here or via the telephone number but I am unsure of whether this qualifies as an "emergency" yet.

Thanks

Your first issue was resolved. Your second issue will take a bit more time. Please be patient. Thanks! Cheesy

Ok... Will be a little more patient. But it has been 4 days now since the original failed transaction. 2nd support ticket was open 4/9.

I have 2 transactions that were placed at Blockchain.info and processed by Bitinstant. I have been patiently waiting for Clair of ZipZap (ZipZap Ticket # 3408) to give me the Merchant ID Number for these to payments to bit instant, she has not yet provided that information. ZipZap has suggested that I contact Bitinstant.
The following is the Account information I received during the transaction:
The 1st. is:

Amount to Pay: $503.95
Receive Code: 9611
Account Number: 543931851

and the second is :

Amount to Pay: $128.95
Receive Code: 9611
Account Number: 649149804

I need the Merchant Order ID number
I have not received these funds. I do have another transaction pending resolve on the 4/10 list.
These two transactions are completely different issues.
Email [email protected]

I finally got a email from ZipZap my 2 missing Merchant Order ID Numbers are as Follows:

Are any of you useless customer service people going to address the fact that 450$ of my f$*%ing money is gone due to negligence in your services. If your service would've worked I wouldn't have had to go here for support in the first place. Why in the HELL does that email you guys sent me say SOMETHING for christ's sake, SOMETHING!! about there being a code to all the $$ being in there. No you guys nonchalantly just throw it in two spaces below the information YOU requested, now I'm out 450$ and you guys can't say ANYTHING to me? Nothing at all? I've spent way too much $$ with you guys for this shit. With customer service like this, your company will crumble.

URSAY I just want to make sure you've got all the info you need from me. I'm on the 4/11 list.

My email I used to order is [email protected]

The bitcoin address where my coins go is 13CgzzbM6cmrPFbQuTC1F4sg75Pifk4RPU

I never got an Order ID because my transaction didn't get that far. In the event log, I'm stuck at "Mt Gox Order Loading"

Here's my bitinstant order page.

Wed Apr 10 21:19:41 2013   f0c80d72-6fd1-4a6b-8e09-e9b78bd3d0e8   MTGox Order Loading

Is my order one that might benefit from being manually pushed through like these others?

I'd really love to get my coins at the crash price, that was the whole reason I ordered when I did. I will lose too much money if I get them at the pre-crash price.

You issue was escalated because it is different then some of these manual push throughs. Cheesy

That's just fantastic :/

Any idea how the price is going to be determined? Bitstamp is at ~$60 a coin right now and it would be ridiculous to get forced into paying yesterday's prices after having to wait so long.

At least you guys could give me a lower price. I don't expect to get them at $60, but surely not $160 or whatever.

Is there any more information you can give me about my issue and why it had to be escalated? At this point I'm open to the idea of a refund if the purchase price of the coins is too high.

And please don't tell me to submit anything at /contact because I already have and I can no longer use my quote ID.
