Most of the people who were complaining never posted again, which is typical. People only go out of their way to make public statements to provide negative feedback. Only a few of them posted again to confirm that they had received their BTC, albeit without the fee reimbursement they were promised... BUT they were told to resubmit a new support ticket if they wanted to claim their reimbursement, so those who wish to do so have to wait for their company to authorize that claim as a separate matter. It's all a lot of messy technical crap, but unfortunately they have to follow the company's protocol and handle each case separately and with whatever information they have available to them at the time. Bitcoin is still a pretty new currency and its popularity has been on the rise so its no surprise that a slight technical glitch here and there can cause a trainwreck of backlogs. Anyway, I'm waiting patiently for my Coinapult email. I believe that it will make it eventually...

Yea but most of those people posted bitching about transactions they just made or made in the last day or so.  So hiw can they be taken care of before all of us who are patiently waiting?

That's what I was saying.   They are picking and choosing.


I am going on two weeks.  And both of my orders were correct no mistakes. 


Wow,two weeks. I thought I might be nearing the end of the road after 9 days.
The other big issue is they continue to mislead people into believing the site is fixed and operating correctly when obviously there is still alot of problems. If they are picking and choosing which problems to fix, this affects those of us who have been waiting the longest.

Was chatting with you earlier on Facebook. It seems they didn't like the thread we started earlier, because apparently they delted it and blocked me from posting on their page. Like I said I am at 9 days and nothing.If you think about what they told you, (1-3 business days) the 4th of July is Thursday and even if they work on Friday their basic time frame of 1-3 days has bought them an additional week to stall you. I saw your ticket number with them was in the 23,000's.My ticket was in the low 17,000's,now I'm sure that alot of the tickets are duplicate complaints but that is a lot of tickets in a short time.Again I wish you luck and hope things work out better for you.Keep us informed.

I have used them in the past and had problems before,but they were always rectified within hours. Receiving your money "eventually" is part of the problem, but they know there is an obvious larger problem yet they continue to operate as usual. I have seen questions on their Facebook page asking if it is safe to deposit funds and they respond "Our site is up and running and there shouldn't be any problems".They add that little disclaimer in at the end knowing people are currently experiencing problems and future customers will have problems. Earlier today someone had posted their current support ticket number which was in the 23,000's. My ticket from 9 days ago was in the low 17,000's. That is over 6000 complaints in a short amount of time.I'm sure alot of those tickets are duplicate complaint's,but still that is an indicator of a company with serious problems. They claim to be registered with the Department of the Treasury,and would love to know if the way they are currently conducting business is in violation of some law or regulation.

My current experience with Bitinstant is into it's 9th day. You do what they ask, provide any additional information they request in a timely manner and wait patiently for what? Silence. You receive the scripted comments they have been trained to respond with and ignore any follow up emails requesting nothing more than an update. I posted in a thread on their Facebook page earlier today with truthful and professional comments warning those who have not sent them money yet to read about them before putting themselves in the same situation many of us seem to be in and they proceded to block me from their page. That alone spoke volumes to me, and I hope others read about their current situation and make an informed decision. Message:BUYER BEWARE.
