How long do xfers take at VirMach?
@taizi said:
already waiting staff(or Logistical Support) to handle my service transfer request for 2 months...
Someone said they had already been waiting for 2+ months for logistical support for transfer. That's where my ticket is stuck, waiting for logistical support, and we did the xfer tickets a few days ago.
Do they really take that long?

Atleast 1 year in one case I heard off

I can’t understand why Virmach bother accepting transfers given they clearly can’t be arsed to do them.
It brings in stoned people. That's why.
What does this have to do with people who consume cannabis? Maybe you should put down the crack pipe.
Waiting for VirMach transfers be like:
More than 2 years will be a reasonable estimate
So basically, my service contract with them would start WHEN they xfer the service over to me, right?
@drunkendog said it was still stuck in VirMach BF something or another, so I guess they haven't provisioned it for him either.
So, whenever the xfer goes through, starting from then, would be my 12 month contract with them, right?
Otherwise what sense does it make to pay someone for 3 months of service and xfer fee, and only get 9 months of service.
If I'll get a whole year, and even if I have to wait 2-3 months, then in that case, that's fine I guess.
If they xfer me after 3 months, and only provide 9 months of service, then that's not fine.
Please confirm. Thanks guys.
Sincerely,
The stoned guy
Pretty sure the timer is ticking. You’ll get what’s left on the term the seller paid for.
Oh I see. So he paid this month, I think, Dec 02 IIRC. If it takes 3 months to xfer, I get only 9 months of service?
How are people getting away with this as a business practice?
I mean RackNerd @dustinc offers ridiculously cheap offerings, and yet they still provide speedy and fast service, so I bought something else with them.
I would be happy to consider RN for anything. I tested them out and even though it's cheap as Hell, support is where you shine, win and make repeat business. They are doing it right.
What? The provider doesn't owe anyone the ability to transfer the service.
You don't pay a new invoice when a service is transferred to you. Instead you take over the existing invoice that the transferer paid.
Do they still have a separate SolusVM login per VM? Last time I did a transfer, I gave the buyer the SolusVM credentials as soon as they paid, before the transfer had 'officially' completed.
They owe it to themselves. Otherwise you end up losing customers, business, and repeat business.
If that's the kind of business someone wants to run, where making a repeat customer doesn't matter, and the only thing that matters is fucking the customer out of however much you can initially the first time, then that's their prerogative.
As a buyer, I too have certain rights and protections, regardless of what people may think. Ethically speaking, if I pay for 1 year, and I don't get 1 years service, then that's unethical business practice.
Wait, you actually use the VPS? I just buy VirMach deals for the shenanigans. 5/7 perfect.
You shouldn't be paying for a year if you're not getting a year. Totally agree.
However the onus is on you and the person you're getting the service from, not the provider. if you overpaid its not the provider's fault.
I understand.
Would it be reasonable then, to wait a month, at the most, and if no service by 2nd week of January 2022, which is a good long reasonable amount of time to wait, do a PayPal issue with the gentleman I did the Xfer with? My logic is as follows (and I could be wrong, so please offer corrections/advice): If I don't get my service in a reasonable amount of time, then that means I would lose on a few months of service even having paid for it on my end, so it seems logical to do a PayPal issue/chargeback. That makes it so both parties are evenly burned. I get my $$$ back, and he retains his original service contract with VirMach.
The only issue I possibly see would be if PayPal charges some kind of a penalty fee. Other than that, I don't see this being a 'chargeback'.
Is my logic incorrect or bad? I don't want to end up doing anything immoral or unethical that harms another.
Holy shit! Sounds like you'll change your "buy now, research later, blame others" attitude from now on. Growth, young man!
You didn't pay Virmach, though. So why the fuck are you imagining terms from Virmach that isn't even in their ToS? That's insane.
Well that's between seller and you. Honestly, you are at a disadvantage. If you get the transfer quickly, great. Otherwise why would a seller work on contingency of transfer happening on time?
Its gonna be entirely on you whatever route you take. The provider is simply obliging tou with a favor on their own terms that you need to agree.
Else it's a free world and you are free to choose an different provider!
You suck at trolling.
When did I imagine any terms with anyone? You seem terrible at reading and comprehension. If you are not going to do xfers in a timely manner, which makes customers lose time and money, then that's unethical, and you should refuse xfers so people just don't bother with them. How is losing 3 months of service a favor to anyone?
I understand. Thank you for a well formed reply. Sounds like you're a man (unlike some others) who has some modicum of self respect and he likes to comport himself with dignity. Love it.
So I am at a slight disadvantage. That's on me. As I said, I don't want to do anything unethical or bad. So I'm looking at raising the issue with PayPal as a last resort (if even I go that far). I'll give a month. Which is a reasonable amount of time, before bothering VirMach with a reminder. If nothing happens soon after, then I may have to consider something else.
Thank you for your advice.
But the thing is, the VPS he xferred to me, isn't even provisioned yet. According to the thread he created it's still stuck in BF something or another, so has not been provisioned. So when VirMach handles that, they'll handle the xfer.
So I'm assuming it should go through hopefully soon, since they do have to provision it for the original customer. They can't just take his money and not provision his VPS for 3 months. Right?
That was legit praise, though. You suck at trolling comprehension.
You suck at words.
Virmach provides the server for the period they sold it for. When you buy a second hand thing and then expect Virmach to honour longer than the period you paid, you're making unreasonable demands that exist in your head.
Wtf are you getting on with?
I made no demands. You're instigating and looking to troll. Behave.
WTF, you have to be trying to troll at this point..
I consider this a demand:
And you are also talking PayPal issue/chargebacks to the seller. Dude, you're going to get yourself a bad reputation.
Your opinion does not matter. Have a good day.
