Transferring away from eNom (WALELA BROOK, INC)

[Anthony Ng]

I initiated a transfer away from eNom (WALELA BROOK, INC) to Tucows/OpenSRS on Oct 25, acknowledged the request, and got an "Domain Transfer Request Accepted" e-mail from Tucows in return on the same day.

Since the domain is NOT locked, and eNom usually automatically approves transfer in 5 days, I have been waiting patiently. It even showed the status as PENDING TRANSFER over at eNom's whois in the past 5 days. But then that status panel disappears altogether since about 8 hours ago, and when checking against the whois at both eNom and Tucows, that domain is still with eNom.

I got this name from eNom Club Drop back in August, and I waited well more than 2 months before transferring away, just to be on the safe side. And you know those so-called "registrars" which don't even have a fully functional website! Damn it!

Registrar transfers usually take between 5-7 days, despite full compliance on
both the gaining and losing one. Assuming you did for both sides, I'd say wait
a day or 2.

When I completed my transfer from Go Daddy to Name 2 weeks ago, I logged
inside my GD account and found nothing a few minutes after confirming the
request with them. Does a similar or same thing happen when logging inside
your eNom account or does the account disappear altogether soon after you
confirm?

Yes I find transfers out of enom normally take a day to 3 more than the five days indicated
