I completed my MoneyGram order to ZipZap at CVS nearly twenty four hours ago. My order is currently stuck on:
Which is strange, because I do not use MtGox, nor Coinapult. For receiving method, I chose bitcoin address and entered my BTC-e Bitcoin address. I do not understand why Coinapult or MtGox are being involved, and delaying, my order. I've submitted a ticket to BitInstant, but I've had no reply. This is my first time purchasing BTC, so I'm a bit nervous of the situation.
My order number is: 2313a055-d88c-43e9-a863-517d3b10cec5

My order was manually completed. However, I bought BTC at around 140.00 USD/1.00 BTC.
When my order was completed due to complications on your end, BTC was worth 220.00 USD/1.00 BTC.
It's, quite frankly, bullshit. You gave me a "One hour guarantee". That turned into over 48 hours and damn nearly $60.00.
Here's my order ID: 2313a055-d88c-43e9-a863-517d3b10cec5
Seems to be a common issue amongst "resolved" tickets. Class action, eh?
It'd be great to hear from you.

I'm not sure if you didn't see my post or what but here it is again.hahaha
Hey URSAY, I'm glad to say that the patience payed off and I got my bitcoins sent to my wallet!
I appreciate all your help, however I still need another ticket opened up on today's support escalation list as I only got .41 BTC when I was expecting ~.51
I got the current rate as opposed to the rate of my transaction which should have been ~160.
I was also hoping the transaction fee would be refunded for the delay. I'd appreciate it very much URSAY
PLEASE RESPOND TO ME

PLEASE RESPOND TO ME You have posted like 3 times in the last couple of pages. URSAY has said that he doesn't have time to be replying to each and every post that comes through here, as he would much rather be spending his time actually solving things than reading posts with too many smiley faces. If you have posted on here, he will see it and you will be added to the next list. 4/10 still hasn't been put out officially yet, so please look at that when he posts it. It should hopefully be soon.
April 09, 2013, 06:04:26 PM
I'm about at my wit's end. Several emails, messages to bitinstant user on reddit, posts on forums, and not even a single acknowledgement. Your phone line for "urgent issues" just dumps into a voicemail, there's no "chat link" on the contact us page, WTF am I supposed to do? Drive to their office to get someone's attention on where my 600$ went? Process my order or refund my money, this is absolutely unacceptable.
4/10 list.
What does this mean? My order won't be processed until tomorrow? Even with my email yesterday asking for help?
This means that you are on the 4/10 list to be resolved. Which means that they have taken note of your issue and they have all the information they need. URSAY will be releasing the official 4/10 list soon, hopefully
. This does not mean that your issue will be resolved tomorrow. It may take a couple of days, but you are now on the right track to getting your issue fixed. Your issue will be escalated and be given to the appropriate people who can fix everything for you. At this point, the only thing you can do is be patient and not get frustrated.

FINAL 4/9 support list. Please take note if you are on this list. Thanks!

You had stated i would be on the list for 4/9. I just want to confirm that pennyback = pennypack or have i not been included in this list?
Probably just a type on my part. Thanks for pointing that out. It won't effect the working status on your ticket. Level 2 support doesn't organize by Bitcointalk username. I do because I was hoping to be more personally accountable. Unfortunately there is not enough time in the day for me to give a million updates on existing issues. I would rather be actually resolving the issues as I'm sure many of your would agree. Thanks!

I tried to buy through bitinstant using dwolla sending it to my BTC-e address and it declined due to "fraud check failed". Nothing about my bank account is fraudulent, I verified it with Dwolla already.

Apologies for asking a question that has surely been asked before. I browsed enough to find that this is a common problem but wasn't able to determine what to do about it--other than to post here.
I've had three Dwolla transfers with problems recently. Two of them were a week ago and one today.
I'm reluctant to post transaction IDs, etc here (again forgive my newbieness). Can someone please contact me and I can pass along relevant info?
Dwolla balance is now down by ~ $2k (3 transactions total) and Bitinstant shows various error messages. Help!?
Thanks.

WRONG.
That's also why you still owe me 0.70825 BTC
Right. I've been offering to help with any issues but I guess your not interested in helping me open a ticket for this issue. Can't say I didn't try. Oh well.
But that's fine. Your posts will make for fantastic evidence of failure of bitinstant to perform.

WRONG.
That's also why you still owe me 0.70825 BTC
Right. I've been offering to help with any issues but I guess your not interested in helping me open a ticket for this issue. Can't say I didn't try. Oh well.

URSAY,
I was on the 4/8 list and my money has just now arrived to my MTGox account. Thanks for your service!
However, I am short 0.35 bitcoins.
I made a deposit of $153.616 (after all fees) when bitcoins were at $154, and upon receiving my funds in my MTGox account I was able to buy 0.6461 bitcoins instead of 0.9975 bitcoins.
Here is some more info about my order:

Event ID 8fc2acf4-6417-4504-8825-bfff5a8f615f
To everyone else reading this, be patient, URSAY is certainly losing sleep over his new job, for which he is very talented. Don't lose hope! BitInstant is a legitimate business. The problem lies in the market, not the supplier or the customer service rep.
Thanks again Ursay, and please close the old ticket and open a new one for my account.

My signature has been updated. If you have suggestions about info I can offer in my sig I would be happy to hear your suggestions. If you ask me a question and it's in my signature I will be pointing you there. Thanks.
I have provided my order id over 10 times and a description of the problem. I have provided the info over reddit to /u/bitinstant. I have provided the info over email to Seth and Charlie.
I have not received a support ticket #. I have not received an update. And most importantly, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED MY COINS.

This has been ongoing since April 2. Give me a support ticket # if there actually even is one. Give me an update. Give me something!!
You're absolutely forcing me to be a complete son of a bitch by ignoring my issue SINCE APRIL 2ND!!!!.
Got you on 4/10 support. Many others are being added as well. I don't have time to reply directly to you all. Please wait to check the working version of the 4/10 list and then talk to me if your not on it OR any other previous support lists with date labels.
Please make a note on my ticket that my transaction should have been completed by Wed Apr 3 03:13:14 2013. So the amount of coins received should be around ~1 BTC, not the ~0.51BTC current market price.
