First user experience with expresscoin.
Tuesday: Placed order. Order stated an amount of BC so I figured all was well.
Sent photo of M.O. and mailed it.
Wednesday: Got e-mail confirm of order. Yep took a whole day just for that.
Friday: Checked website to see payment confirmed, a little bit later checked again to see confirmed which I figured meant my order went through. Check wallet. No coins
I have come to find out that price is not locked in when you place your order, so it's in their best interest to drag their feet if the coin you bought is rising. They can hold off and skim off your profits.
They also charge a premium price $.12 USD compared to the $.09 market value as well as their percentage fee.
Expresscoin is in no way express at all if you live in the states. Takes less time to get BTC from coinbase and do your own transactions on an exchange. I would suggest using other services to get your BTC or altcoins. There are too many out there to deal with a company that doesn't seem to be on top of things.
*Edit Just recieved coins. About 400 less than was quoted. Definitely find an alternative. I'll be glad when the Halo software does away with businesses like this that are just out to take advantage.
