I understand how if you're someone that does one withdrawal every 6 months and that one happens to get hosed up how you might feel like withdrawals are super inconsistent. But to say withdrawals of all kinds are super inconsistent is very very inaccurate. I'd guess that far less than 1% of all transactions they process have issues.

What they guy you are responding to said is less "untrue" than what you said. Being a smartass and saying things like "i understand how if you're someone that does one withdrawal every 6 months...." is not helpful to this thread. Neither is your "guess" that far less than 1% of all transactions they process have issues. And even though the guy was talking about all withdrawals, "

YOU are an idiot for posting in the bank xfer thread about your non-bank xfer withdrawal experiences.
I have been withdrawing from ftp about 3-8x a month since last August, and before that not as much because I was playing mostly on stars but, I have to say that I would definitely describe bank transfers as sometimes coming in a few days, sometimes a few weeks, or sometimes months. As far as the frequency goes, about 75% of my personal bank xfers have come in a few days, about 20% in 2 weeks, and about 5% over a month. There were 3 times that I waited over a month for a bank transfer in the past year. One eventually went through, the other 2 were returned to my ftp account. If you want to talk about checks, checks for me have been terrible. I have had to wait over a month on about 4-5 checks I have done(10-12 total) and two have bounced. Premium bank wire is the only withdrawal method that has worked 100% smoothly for me(except I paid ~$700 in fees in just the past 6 months using it, but I don't care because it actually worked well for me. Then one day they were suddenly unavailable though, and now they are back but I haven't used them since.).
So just because YOU are one of the lucky people with no withdrawal problems doesn't mean other people's problems don't exist, and it's not just click it and ship it and boom you have the money easy, like you make it sound.
