As evidenced below, this afternoon, I successfully registered the domain names CARRIAGE.COM, POWERMATIC.COM and SNESROM.COM, two of which were scheduled drops.
RECEIPT NUMBER: 7423432
--------------------------------------------------------------
1 .COM Domain Name Registration - 1 Year $ 8.95
CARRIAGE.COM
--------------------------------------------------------------
RECEIPT NUMBER: 7423782
--------------------------------------------------------------
1 .COM Domain Name Registration - 1 Year $ 8.95
POWERMATIC.COM
--------------------------------------------------------------
RECEIPT NUMBER: 7423550
--------------------------------------------------------------
1 .COM Domain Name Registration - 1 Year $ 8.95
SNESROM.COM
--------------------------------------------------------------
Suffice it say that nailing these primo domains made for an exultant day at the market. However, about 20 minutes thereafter, I received the following notifications from GoDaddy:
--------------------------------------------------------------
The following domain name has failed to be registered:
CARRIAGE.COM
Error: pendsetup: (540) Attribute value not unique;
We will evaluate this error and retry the registration if appropriate.
--------------------------------------------------------------
I received identical "too bad" notices for POWERMATIC.COM and SNESROM.COM, the latter of which appeared unexpectedly as "available" when I logged into my account, assumedly because SNESROM.US. is already registered in my account.
LOOK -->
As you might expect, I'm rather pissed. And suddenly highly suspcious of GoDaddy -- not for having lost out on SNESROM.COM, because a subsequent whois reveals that it is, in fact, registered through 16-Mar-2004. But because CARRIAGE.COM and POWERMATIC.COM were drops that I had apparently snagged.
Any suggestions as to how I might best address this thorny subject with GoDaddy? Is compensation (beyond the promised refund of registration fees) a reasonable expectation?
How would YOU react if you were in my shoes.com?
