Can you try the GOX code?

Thank you very much.

No problem, here's my info:

I used the M-prefixed account number and made my transaction on 3/29. Other people seem to have mentioned that the M-prefixed account # was causing errors, so I'm worried I made my transfer before they were accepted.
I was also unaware that the APIResponse was redeemable, so I didn't use it, and didn't disclose it to anybody besides BitInstant within 24 hours.

I've added you to the support list for 4/9.  Please take note.

We are working on improved customer service.  Volume has spiked and we are actively working on meeting the need of such numbers.  Thanks! 

Hey, glad there is an active support presence here. I've been waiting 30+ hours for 2 orders, help me out. 
Here is my Information. Let me know if you need anything else

I still have faith in BitInstant, I've done a few transfers this week that were instant. As long as I get my bitcoins and for the price they were when I placed the order.
I really wish you guys had a better support service. I'm here because all other methods of contacting haven't received a response. Bitcoin is going mainstream, you really need to implement a 24 hour Livechat. It's better for business and better for the market when people feel secure in buying.

Thanks.

I apologize but I don't see you on any of my support lists.  Would you kindly remind me of your issue and your order info?  Thanks!  

THANK YOU YANKEE. These are the answers that everyone has been wanting. You guys at bitinstant are doing a great job of trying to handle this, and thank you for your quick response. This is what customers like to see!

 
Charlie/Yankee, thank you very much for this response.

You being forthright and directly reassuring us of this has put me a little more at ease in waiting for my BTC. My hat is off to URSAY for being so level-headed in face of accusations and a large volume of work.

I hope my support ticket is resolved soon, as I am more than ready to sing the praises of BitInstant the moment it is funded to my wallet.

I'm on the support list for 4/7, but I will provide my information again, given that Charlie/Yankee is on the scene at the moment:

I will also happily provide my confirmation # and account # from MoneyGram if requested.

I will update this thread and post a new one the moment I receive my BTC.

Thank you again for all your hard work, URSAY and Yankee.

Hello URSAY,
It looks like I was previously put on the list but I'm no longer on it -- have I been taken off of it? I still have no information on my order from 3/29, so it has now been 11 days. It's reassuring to see that you are dealing with other people here and they are reporting success, but it's still disconcerting to have had no direct contact with support 11 days after the transfer.

Thanks for your help, I hope your system gets ironed out soon so all this stress on both sides of the transaction can be relieved.

Ursay, the Domino effect makes perfect sense.  I imagine it is difficult.

Yankee, Thank you for the updated post.

Hey URSAY,

Just wanted to know where I stand in the list, I don't want them to be over 200 when i get around to buying them =P

Thanks for your time

My issue may not be worthy of a lawsuit from a monetary standpoint, but I've been waiting 6 days for something I paid for. I have sent you a personal email just now, and have sent you and URSAY both plenty of PMs over the past few days.

I need my bitcoins.

Thank you URSAY(and I guess Charlie too?)! After 6 days I have received full payment with exchange rate equal to time of deposit(though likely not exact, they took my suggestion that it was roughly .3 BTC and I am perfectly satisfied with that). It has been a long process as my order was like many others in this thread, caught in the confusion that is this huge spike in prices. I was patient, and had my ups and downs, especially at first when I didn't have any idea where my issue was along the process. I commend URSAY's announcement of lists which held the names of people who's problems were being solved, and may have posted my issue one or two too many times to ensure I was on the list(due to not being on the first one after it first developed.).

Making this extra long because while flipping through posts saw someone ask for anyone who's had their issues resolved to post and hopefully bring up morale. Anyways, persevere, it's a process, but I feel it's more organized now.

Also, if you don't get the exchange rate you expect, post that issue soon. Before even having certified the funds at today's rate, I posted and received the difference, since the main issue with my purchase was resolved(I don't know what it was) it was easy and speedy for customer service to complete my transaction and deal with all remaining issues.

Thank you for providing this response Yankee and confirming that you will be honoring the quoted price. I would like to apologize to URSAY for the negatively he has received. He has done nothing but been helpful. As i'm sure you can understand we are all frustrated with this situation, but it is not his fault. I will wait patiently for your support team to resolve my issue and submit another ticket if necessary in order to get the correct number of coins.

I think most people don't understand the variety of options we offer.  All of these options involve different companies and different procedures with great complexity.  We are not receiving money from 1 person in our hands and sending them BTC.  Volume further increases the issues for not just us but the companies we work with which has a domino effect.  Hopefully that makes sense?  

this plus small claims, or class action if others want to join in on the fun

Good luck.
[/quote]luck not required if my and other people's orders are fucked.


but i appreciate the reply. at least that confirms that the general attitude that your support personnel are presenting isn't just limited to one individual; rather it's systemic throughout your organization.

THIS:
is all anybody can/does expect. Saying this hours ago would have saved a LOT of time & negativity. Gratitude for your perseverance URSAY!

If the other support agents were here on the forums then they wouldn't be actively solving your issues.  I enable them to work faster by giving them all the issues in an organized manner with ALL info they need to solve the problem.

I will open you a ticket WHEN there is an issue but I cannot open up a ticket for an issue that does not yet exist.

you think they're going to address a question of whether or not they're taking payment for orders they can't fulfill? don't hold your breath.

Hey,

This is incorrect.

We have always and will always be crediting customers at the exact rate at time of deposit

Our automated system does not do this all the time, however when your order is processed, send us an email or PM or post here and refunds will be credited

We our solving all our issues this week, and we thank our customers for bearing with us in this explosion.

I want to remind everyone that we've never scammed or defrauded anyone. We are one of the longest running Bitcoin companies, and we are not going anywhere.

Thanks

Charlie


Good luck.

Its in our FAQ on our website, that has not changed since we opened doors in 2011

I implore anyone who has an issue worthy of a lawsuit to contact me.

Charlie


As promised, I sent 0.3 BTC in refund for spot price
