Here's a link to one of my transactions if it helps you guys...

https://www.bitinstant.com/order_status/29f16b8b-657b-4dc8-90fb-9c387b089a31

Would this work as proof? Or do you need anything else?

And no, I don't work for them, they just seem to always come through for me, and I don't think they deserve all the bad reviews (Albeit they do deserve a sizable portion of them)...

Thank you, I appreciate your transparency but it is not you that is in question. As Scintill suggested, I think a link to a bitinstant order page with timestamps and destination address to verify in the blockchain would be beneficial (for everyone.)

No, this is what I was referring to.  It's not bulletproof, because BitInstant could fudge the timestamps of the order quote time, but I don't think they would.  The BitInstant transaction close time correlates closely with blockchain.info's timestamp, so this looks pretty legit.  Thanks JonathanB72.

For more assurance against sockpuppet pro-BitInstant accounts, we could ask them to sign a message with their destination address, and look at their bitcointalk account history.  BitInstant would have to invest time into making fake transactions and accounts to vouch for themselves.  I'm not that paranoid/cynical though.
