    nope, been 10 days for me.. it's just stupid. i am planning to go the way of credit card reversal if they don't do it in a day or two..

    there's even email (from link) - [email protected] - i sent my request there, they said "very many tickets" and that's it, still no refund.. and i personally have 9 VPS with them.. they have lost my renewals for next year that's for sure..

    As expected shit provider,

    I bought one in DUS location, after 1~2 days, they sent email about the migration to Frankfurt.
    Why didn't they disable DUS location or at least inform it before ordering if they had planned the migration?

    It is hassle. I don't need FRA.

    For me it's the opposite, I want the Frankfurt location, but haven't been migrated yet. Knowing that IP addresses will change, I can't really use it until it has been migrated.

    They sent an email on Wednesday asking when I want to be migrated, I replied and haven't heard anything since then.

    @rarecloud might have to ask for a refund if things don't improve

    haha you gonna wait twice as long for that..

    Hey everyone,

    Sorry I haven’t been very responsive these last few days. We’ve had a bunch of technical issues all happening at once, and I had to jump in and help the team. Some problems were unrelated, some were caused by the Black Friday load… basically a perfect storm.

    As many of you already know, one of our nodes in Düsseldorf went down. The reason the recovery took so long is because one of the NVMe drives failed, and of course it was the one containing the boot partition. Servers don’t have hardware RAID for NVMe, so everything relies on software RAID. This meant we had to manually rebuild the boot setup and bootloader. On top of that, the datacenter’s KVM consoles were giving us issues, so it added even more delays.

    As I already mentioned, we are in the middle of migrating both Germany and The Netherlands to brand-new, much more powerful servers.
    You all know the NL servers were weak and definitely needed replacing, and we’ve had plenty of issues there.

    In Germany, the servers themselves are fine, but the datacenter has been a constant problem: network frustrations, slow or no responses, nobody taking responsibility, and overall very difficult communication. Even though their network is performant, the lack of cooperation and the very slow reaction times (combined with our plan to upgrade to new hardware) made the decision simple: we’re moving out.
    A fresh example: even though we agreed that IP ranges would stay active until mid-January, their network team already deactivated one of our subnets early, completely unannounced. They’re just very difficult to work with.

    Everything we’re doing right now — the migrations, the upgrades, the hardware changes — is to improve performance, stability, and your long-term experience with RareCloud.
    I know downtime and moving things around can be annoying, and I’m really sorry for that. But please hang in there a bit longer. Long-term, this is 100% the right move and it’s going to benefit all of you.

    Another issue we ran into (because of Black Friday, but not our own BF sale directly) was a delay in hardware deliveries. We ordered new servers that were supposed to arrive before Black Friday so we could install everything right away. We prepared our offers based on the expectation that the hardware would be here. But the delivery was delayed, and yes, we sold a little more than planned because the demand from you guys was amazing.
    For example, Tokyo is slower right now, and we still have a few pending orders.

    These issues are being solved. New servers are being installed, and in a few days we will also have Hong Kong available as an alternative to Tokyo.

    We promise we’re working day and night to fix everything. Please be patient with ticket replies and forum answers. We’re catching up as fast as we can.
    The new servers arrive Monday morning; they’re already tested, they just need final configuration and to be added to the cluster.

    We will resolve every issue, we will reply to every ticket, and we will offer compensation for downtime.
    If you experienced downtime, please open a ticket and we will add extra service time to your next due date.

    Thank you all for your understanding and for your trust.
    I’ll keep posting updates as soon as I have them. 🙏

    there is literally NO TRUST in rarecloud.. fucking BS is what they are.

    I also received refund for one of my VPS. Though it takes 10 days at least they offer refunds, better than some providers that don't offer refund at all.

    Hi.

    What’s going on with the server de5.rarecloud.io?
    The VPS on it has been unavailable for more than 30 hours.
    For the open ticket #FNR-258530 the only update over a day ago was: “Let me check this and will let you know details soon.”

    It's been over 3 days of downtime. There's no response from support on the ticket.

    We're working on it. Please open a support ticket, my team will update you.

    have time to reply here, while i've been waiting for refund since november 29.. charged me 19euros instead of 7, this is ridiculous. booo, @rarecloud, booo

  • Wasting my money and a Ridiculous 14-day refund policy

    We’ve reviewed your request, and your VPS has been delivered and fully active with all the resources you selected at the time of the order.

    At this moment, a refund is not the suitable solution, but we’re here to help you get exactly what you need.

    Stay away from RareCloud.
    I will not purchase from RareCloud again, nor will I recommend it to others.

  • After waiting a week, when I finally got a reply, it said that they've looked at my VPS and it was delivered correctly as advertised, so they don't think a refund is the right option for me. Would I like moving to a different location? I had to point out that their terms don't say you can have a refund if they think it's the right option, but simply if you ask for one within 14 days. I did eventually get it, but that was before their BF demand surge swamped things further.

    I'm quite nervous that they keep moving services from one DC to another. There's a line in the Ts and Cs that says you agree they can change your IP and I guess this is why. They spin it that they're expanding and opening up new locations, except the old locations vanish, so they're shuffling the deck. It seems they repeatedly hit problems with one upstream provider and move onto the next.

    My guess would be that there won't be a migration and no update from their side either.

    And then another post here on Wednesday that they are so busy because something has gone wrong again, and they got so many tickets they can't all go through.

  • i finally received reply from someone called daniel. here's how things went:

    • NOV 28 - tried to buy €7 VPS BF offer (was charged €7, then instantly refunded €7, i guess i didn't make the cut, no problems)
    • NOV 28 - full price invoice popped up for €19 after the fiasco
    • NOV 28 - I filed a ticket asking to delete €19 invoice
    • NOV 29 - my ccard on file was charged €19
    • NOV 30 - VPS provisioned
    • DEC 11 - received email and ticket reply saying "cancel VPS, then we refund"

    after I asked to remove invoice, not to charge and not to provision, send a dozen tickets and direct messages to email listed on link transaction, hey did anyway, - it appears I had to cancel to proceed with the refund.. it doesn't matter that i am a long standing customer with 9 other VPS @ rarecloud. it is simply sad.

    @FAT32 why even allow such unskilled and unreliable seller on LET?
