Network Solutions horrendous customer service - What do I do?

[KnifeCatcher]

After I list my domains on the Afternic Premium network, I do receive the confirmation email from NetworkSolutions. I approve it....nothing happens. This also happens sporadically with Sedo MLS.

Their customer support is absolutely clueless. Whether it is on the phone or online.

Have a look at the response that I have received after writing an expansive email describing the issue.

What the hell do I do? I started moving my domains out into Dynadot, but that means a 2 months waiting period before I can list them

If the domain has been transferred in the past 60 days then a transfer to another registrar may fail, we don't deny the transfer ourselves and do allow the domain to be unlocked and the authorization code accessed (in the case of a regular transfer away), but the central registry may still block the transfer to another registrar if the domain is less than 60 days old or was transferred in the past 60 days, unfortunately.

For .com/.net domains, verisign registry does not block such transfers. For simplicity, can you confirm the following please - If I transfer .com domain to Dynadot today, and decide to transfer it away from Dynadot tomorrow, will this work? Yes or No? In particular, will the system 1) allow the domain to be unlocked 2) show the authcode 3) provide an usual option to expedite outgoing transfer 4) allow the domain to leave dynadot either after 5 days, or as soon as explicit approval from the registrant is received.

P.S. I am speaking about new transfer-ins only. New .com/.net handregs are indeed 60 days locked by the registry. No questions in this case.

I can confirm that you would be able to unlock the domain and obtain the authorization code in that situation, but can't confirm past that point, unfortunately. Once you've submitted the transfer order with your new registrar, the transfer may fail when they attempt to initiate the transfer with the central registry. If the transfer is initiated successfully then our system would send the 'Transfer Away' approval email as normal once we receive the request, and once you've approved the transfer it wouldn't be denied by ourselves if both your new registrar and the central registry allow the transfer to proceed. In the event of the transfer not being manually approved, we would automatically release the domain after 6 days.
