Transfers take forever, it's not a problem with godaddy. I transferred a domain into godaddy before all this SOPA drama and it finally "arrived" yesterday, 7 days later.

edit: seems this is an unrelated issue and before it gets to the transfer stage, my mistake.



4 hours average over the past year, ime.

There is no reason it should take longer. Some of the delay is in the email cross checks with the domain owner. It does not takes a day, let alone days, to move a domain, even when retaining DNS info. Above 4 hours need an explanation.


Most of the transfers we do take place in just a few minutes - a few hours is pretty common. Taking days is generally a boundary case nowadays.

oBDisclaimer - I work for a huge registrar.
