This is probably nothing new from these folks but thought I'd share it with y'all.

I only had a few domains with Dotster (mostly due to purchases from users that had domains reg'd there)

Tried sending emails to support (they used to have a support email listed openly on their website.) NO ANSWER FOR MONTHS. Then all of a sudden I get 20 emails titled "Re: Contact Receipt" from "Dotster Customer Care" (try not to laugh.) Each says: "Dear Valued Dotster Customer (try not to laugh again)-- Your email support request has NOT been processed."

In the meantime I also tried calling their customer support tel # (360-449-5900), which is long-distance from here. After about 20 minutes of being on hold and no hope of getting a human anytime soon, I gave up.

After all of this I lost a $100 domain which I couldn't transfer out because of none response. Never mind long-distance charges.

Like I said, I never reg'd through them. I only had an account because I purchased domains from their users. If after just having a few, very few, domains there you end up with such an experience, this tells you something.

Hope none of you go through this.

All true but you guys left the #1 reason not to use them. They're too expensive. I only use them for names that are already there when I buy them and I move them elsewhere after. Once in a blue moon they have a coupon for like $9.99, still not worth it. A large registrar but they won't be that for long at this pace

If you say things like "Please answer" and "when will you fix?" then I think the Dotster support gets a little irritated so they spend more time in the break room smoking cigarettes and trying to shake some free Ho-hos out of the vending machines. In my experience if you don't add any such comments, then they get to it quicker. Of course "quicker" is all relative.
