BITNZ Exchange - Reliable?

[QuantumKiwi]

We have been using bitnz.com for sometime now, an NZD - BTC exchange.

The first couple of months was good however now, deposits from NZD into NZ bank accounts is becoming well, a daunting task.

3 times now we have made withdrawals in NZD and instead of taking one business day which is advertised, it seems to take 4-5 business days. Sometimes even a weekend.

Anyone else experiencing a lag in withdrawals from bitnz?

He usually does it manually once a week, not one business day as it says on the website.

Once a week? Pathetic... He should really update his website, it will stop users from getting annoyed.

An alternative in NZ would be good. The guy running BitNZ... I think sounds like a busy guy and doesn't need the income so much. I think it's run, certainly at the start as a charitable thing for Bitcoin point of view.

As such, I hate to say it since it's a profit making thing but... don't moan too hard as we need the site up and running.

Hopefully an alternative in NZ will turn up at some point as a backup.

I'd also like to see a market order option to help newbies. That change didn't happen either which makes me think it's always going to be a bit neglected.
