1 week...



Really instant...

+1

 

No info.  Tough to help. 

I had already request help in the contact section of the website. All the payments are complete now. Thanks anyway

Great to hear that we found a solution for you! 

[URSAY]

Folks, I have received my deposit to Gox, after about 17 days. However, it's only been about 3 days since I logged my complaint here. . Ursay I want to thank you for sticking to your word. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little disappointed that I still got charged bitinstant fees... and that on top of that I have to pay $100 per btc instead of the $85 it would have been if my deposit had been processed correctly. But, somehow I feel like I won today, and I suppose that's worth something. Thanks.

Thanks for posting.  Again I apologize for any issues you have experienced.  If you will allow me to open a ticket for you regarding your execution price I will try to resolve the issue for you.  Would this be okay?  

Absolutely. Just tell me what to do and I'll be on it faster than whores on crack.    

Folks, be patient and give these guys a chance to help. If you provide the appropriate information in the correct places, you will get your money. Even I was skeptical at first, but I think it's clear that these guys are getting it done.

Order ID # ?

This is the one I got today which successfully deposited funds to gox:  
OrderID: 64a95439-ebb8-4fc1-8b0d-52439abbbdb9


This one is the original I got on Match 28:  OrderID: 412773bf-8dc9-4316-99be-317fe346947e





THANK YOU URSAY  !!!

I'm sorry but could you please be clear about what I am looking into?  I only need information regarding orders that you have a problem with.  Thanks for clarifying!  

Ursay, You asked me to provide you with an order ID so you could look into an execution price. In my last post, I provided you with both the order ID for my original transaction on march 28, which was unsuccessful( when BTC was $85), and the order ID for the successful deposit that finally made it to my gox account today. I wasn't sure which you would need in order to look into the execution price, so I gave you both. Please let me know if there's something else I need to do. Thanks much.

Give me exact figures.  What did you receive?  What did you expect?

@URSAY

Oh , got ya. Well, at the time of my deposit on March 28 btc was apx. $85, and today was bought at $95.90. I saw it posted here that Bitinstant would be honoring the BTc value at that time of their failed deposits. But how do you do that if the BTC was purchased from GOX and BI isn't actually supplying me with the BTC? Honestly, I'd just be happy if Bitinstant would reimburse me for it's transaction fees at least. I mean, I don't wanna sound like too much of a bitch , but putting me through what BI just put me through for 2 weeks, costing me $ in BTC value, and then charging me apx. $25 for its service just feels a bit like a slap in the face to me.

Escalated your request for fee reversal. 

@URSAY

Last night, shortly after you posted this, I received an email from Mandrik  :


"Sorry for the delay! I just manually processed your order, and you should receive your funds shortly. Thanks!

---
Sincerely,
Mandrik  "

I assumed it was in response to the fee refund you mentioned, but as of this morning I am still not seeing anything. I just wanna make sure I'm looking in the right place for the right thing. Can you tell me anything about this? Thanks

URSAY,

    I was exchanging pm with you, but I'll just post my email here.   Jewce30@yahoo.com.  This is in regard to :  OrderID: 64a95439-ebb8-4fc1-8b0d-52439abbbdb9
   You were escalating a refund for bitinstant fees attached to this order. I received the above email from mandrik last night saying my order was processed. I assumed it was the refund, but have not received anything. You asked me for my email address so you could look into it. I hope I've given you the necessary info. Thank you very much for the effort.

Thanks for providing useful info!  What BTC addy would you like your funds sent to?  Thanks!

Thank you URSAY  !!!

Got it ty!

HI URSAY,
  Not a complaint here, just more of an FYI. The refund has not found its way to me yet. Just wanted to keep you posted on it and keep myself on the radar. I know you folks are very busy. Thanks again.

These price execution issues take time to research.  Thanks for being patient.

I did receive the usual thank you for contacting support email. I have not received anything beyond that though. This is twice I've attempted to contact support about this. Received support emails for both, but never got a response.

Not all issues are simple and easy to solve.  You issue has already been escalated and we apologize for the delay.

[chase1420]

I received an email from RC BitInstant, however they have not fixed my execution price and say that it is FEES for our service.
It was an incorrect execution price and it was my understanding that it would be fixed. On top of that, I still wish for a refund of the fees
as well, it makes no sense to pay for a service fee when you don't receive the service. The service fee was for receiving my BTC at the correct rate
and promptly, which BitInstant failed on both accounts. I want the money I didn't receive from the execution price delay as well as a refund of the fees.

I will resubmit your ticket asking for fee reversal. 

[trusturtechnolust]

thats a probl

[dannnk]

Can you please look int my issues?
I posted here on the 9th and sometime later was told I was added to the support queue but never heard anything after that.

I emailed you, like you asked, and you emailed me back saying I was in the support queue but never heard anything after that.

I then went to the contact page on the bitinstant page and filled out those forms, got a automated reply saying it would be looked into, and never heard anything back.

Can you please look into these?

I tried to send $250.00 directly to Bitstamp. (ZipZap already took its 3.95 and confirmed it sent you the rest)

I received an email from RC BitInstant, however they have not fixed my execution price and say that it is FEES for our service.
It was an incorrect execution price and it was my understanding that it would be fixed. On top of that, I still wish for a refund of the fees
as well, it makes no sense to pay for a service fee when you don't receive the service. The service fee was for receiving my BTC at the correct rate
and promptly, which BitInstant failed on both accounts. I want the money I didn't receive from the execution price delay as well as a refund of the fees.

I had a similar email. I was told that at the time my order was submitted, the price was around 180$/BTC.
In my order, after fees, it said I would be receiving 96.01$ worth of BTC (104$ total paid. 0.05$ kiosk fee, 3.95$ fee to zipzap, leaving a 100$ payment to Bitinstant, paying 3.99% to fees for transaction type of zipzap>bitcoin address).

So by my math, I should have received approximately .5333889 BTC (96.01$/(180$/BTC))

I received .39751218 BTC, and I don't see anywhere on the BitInstant site (which was linked to me in the email) where another 20% in fees would come from, and .1BTC would be generous for a miner's fee.
