Never did trust bitinstant. 

Sure it did:

And BitInstant responded as well:

Thanks for the grammar correction...lol... you are right.. Anyway, I don't want to make a big deal out of this... it is what it is... At this point all I can do is wait and see if the transaction completes and hope that they honor my paltry little "test purchase" of 63.95..  I'm ok with the delay... I am also not stupid enough to plunk down a thousand dollars on my first try with a new exchange.... so it's not a big money issue.. I think it's more leaving me in limbo due to the lack of response from customer service.. I will wait a few more days before I post the details of my transaction on every single web site imaginable that has anything to do with BTC exchange.. I am retired, have nothing else to do all day, so that will be my new job..  I will say that Bitinstant got one heck of a deal from me though.. I mean, where in the world can you have extremely negative feedback agressively posted on literally every website that could bring you a potential new customer for only 63.95? THAT, my friends, is the deal of the day:)

Thanks for your replies... and everyone have a wonderful day!!

PS: FYI - I did see the "Bitinstant Complaint Thread" and posted there accordingly... but much like my bitcoins.. it never appeared...(Probably because the last post there was over a year ago...) so I posted here.. Sorry.. I am new here and really trying to follow the rules ... If I indeed posted in the wrong category you have my sincerest apology

I came to comment on "Oh-oh". It's "Uh-oh", or comically "Ruh roh" if you want your audience to read your text in Scooby Doo's voice. Get it right, internet.

fake edit: I always wondered why they didn't call it BitLater.

Not necessarily.

Bitinstant is a scam

Bitinstant is having issues at the moment. There is a separate thread here in the newbie section dedicated to assistance for any issues. Keep us posted on what happens. I was looking to buy a few coins through them, but after recent events I'm having second thoughts.

Ordered BC from Bitinstant yesterday AM, Moneygram - Zipzap method...   Zipzap = Perfect  /  Bitinstant = FAIL   -   Bitinstant sent me an email saying that they received my payment but my transaction failed... imagine that...lol... Oh well...tried contacting customer service through e-mail (the only way you can contact them) and guess what?  No reply... and still no BC....  .. I know I'm just a Newb and you guys have had far more experience and larger transactions than I will ever have... In fact, I shouldn't even be complaining... I should have known I would have had better luck just throwing my cash under a weed eater..lol.. As for myself... live and learn I guess.. I won't be here crying and moaning this incident every other day...in the end it's my own fault for trusting them... Needless to say I will NOT be using Bitinstant again and I would recommend the same to you.. I'm just trying to save someone else who may be considering Bitinstant...that's all    If you really want to throw your cash away just send it to me instead.. I will at least send you an email as to why I screwed you..

Thanks !   Great day to all!
