I posted this comment elsewhere before I found this, but I'm extremely upset with the Bitinstant right now. I wasn't having any issues, until recently. My last 4 orders have taken days to get through and I've been completely ignored by customer service staff.
I don't know what to do at this point, either. I've been writing the support team (politely) since last Wednesday and I have gotten two responses (out of several messages). The first ticket was apparently opened by Rachel last week, but nothing came of it-- no coins and no follow-up.
A second ticket was opened (by Seth) yesterday and their was still no follow-up to a question and no coins. I am still missing close to $1,000 worth of money and losing my own customers and no one seems to care. I really just want my funds and go somewhere else.
I keep giving it a try but this happened to me on 12/10, 1/28, 1/29, and now 2/14... The one and only time this was fixed quickly (in under 3-4 days) was on 12/10 - I talked to Rachel on the phone, panicked because I was missing close to $1,500 and she pushed it through within hours.
Based on the declining service I've been experiencing, I no longer believe this is a viable company. I also don't think that I should have to pay 4% convenience fee that actually locks up my money for days, causing my business to lose customers.
I will update my post when (or if) this gets resolved.
