SnapNames no longer effective/works?

[zoogo]

I know that snapnames merged with namejet and that you should pick one or the other.

So recently I backordered a domain with SN, because years ago they had success in catching a domain for me.

I thought I was in good hands so when I didn't receive an email around the drop date I assumed it either got renewed or caught by another company.

A week later I got curious and decided to do a WHOIS and the domain was available for general registration! I hand regged it, and to this day the domain is still in a pending action for backorder in my snapnames account.

Note: this is not a review of snapnames, I am interested in seeing if anybody else has this experience. I need to dropcatch another expiring domain now and even though snapnames won a domain for me years ago, this strange recent experience has made me wonder whether to use them, or if it's maybe a glitch and to still try namejet, or something else entirely.

A lot of people have said if you backorder at both, you open up a bid war against yourself and it goes to auction instead of you just getting it if you are the only bidder.

Must be a glitch or something. snapnames is still pretty good catching expired domains, and it's probably one of the best beside dropcatch dot com.

Yep. I see a few domains not caught by DropCatch being caught by SnapNames, but it's an exception rather than the rule.
