It's now been 1 week since I requested a JPY Domestic Withdraw. It is for 10k Yen and still shows as "Confirmed."
So it does not appear that their SWIFT limit is the problem.
Also, 10 SWIFT transfers a day is BS, I've sent more than that in a day (I don't routinely do it, but nobody at my bank cares if i want to make 10 SWIFT transfers...).
Just to confirm once again, I have USD SWIFT Wire pending since 6/17 (6 figures), EUR SWIFT to Poland, EUR SEPA to Poland, and JPY to domestic japanese bank.
NONE of these have come through yet.
I'm going to go ahead and cancel a few of my withdraws and just take the hit to withdraw bitcoin. I don't see the situation at gox getting any better.
Did you ask support about this? Did they come back with canned statement about delays?
Can someone please ask MagicalTux on IRC about JPY domestic transfers. There would seem to be no excuse for delayed JPY transfers other than liquidity problems.
