Why is it taking days for Dynadot to send out transfer auth emails?

Can't you do this pretty much as soon as a customer has made a transfer-in request?

I know you have to do a whois for ach domain, but 2 days or more delay in STARTING the process is crazy.

We are getting so many transfers that our ip address is getting blocked by other registrars. So we have to wait for the timeout to reset.

They're blocking WHOIS enquiries from other Registrars?

How about you complain to ICANN about that?

THAT IS RIDICULOUS. How do you spell "restraint of trade"?

ICANN is working on a list of the IP addresses of all registrars, but it is not fully implemented by all registrars yet. So I guess they are working on it.

Another reason for the delays is that we have gotten a couple thousand transfers over the weekend, due to the pending price increase. So we are a little backlogged.

I wouldn't know the exact reason for your transfer being slow without looking it up.

Well, I've got transfer orders in the system that have been there for 7 days now and I'm still getting authorisation emails trickling in.

Crazy.
