Network Solutions allowed registrar transfer 16 days before expiration
Hi
Strange sequence of events:
Fri Jan 4 - 11:12
GoDaddy emails me to confirm I want to transfer to them
Fri Jan 4 - 21:00
Reply to Godaddy to confirm
Sun Jan 6 - 02:46
Network Solutions emails me to confirm the transfer request
Sun jan 6 - 02:58
Network Solutions emails me again - which is odd because the domain only has an admin contact and nothing else so why 2 emails? They also had different session/id strings so it wasn't a dupe of the first email
Sun Jan 6 - 13:00
Network Solutions sends this strange email - automated??

Sun Jan 6 - 17:00
Reply to both emails from Network Solutions saying I wish to transfer the domain
Mon Jan 7 - 12:00
Email from Network Solutions saying transfer is approved
Mon Jan 7 - 14:00
Godaddy email saying transfer is done.
....I'm amazed the transfer went through, I guess I was lucky? Must be because the domain transfer email was sent before the invoice one (I never received an invoice in December either, so I don't know why that thing is dated Dec. 12th)
Strange but true.
