A bit confused on these pending deletes

[Keith]

I see a .us that expired 2 days ago and the status already shows pending delete. Another expired early March. That domain also shows pending delete. I backordered the domain that dropped in March but Snap and Pool are not showing this as dropping soon.

I'm very confused by both of these and would appreciate some insight Thanks!

Don't be offended by this question

Are you sure status is pendingDelete and not just the administrator name changed?

Dynadot changes the Whois to say expired and pending delete as contact name when it's just expired.

Just an idea

Here's Whois...Note the status and expiration date.

Oops it didn't paste right. Anyway it's Aok.us which shows expired 2 days ago and already pending delete. I don't want the domain so no problem posting it.

It's in pending delete restorable aka redemption.

I didn't post the name in case you change your mind

It's a cool lll

Correct, in .us .biz and other extensions pending delete restorable means redemption.
Pending delete scheduled for release = pending delete in .com/.net

It looks like if you use domaintools it just chops off the word restorable.

Check at the registry whois.us and you will see it.

These just say pending delete and have been like that for at least a week. Snap and Pool still show no signs of an actual delete date (regarding my backorder).

Another I found shows expired last week but the owner says he renewed at least 45 days ago. I thought I had a good hold of Whois and the drop system but obviously not when it comes to .us.
