Trying to transfer domain name from Squarespace

Recommended Posts

My domain was transferred here from Google Sites and now I want to transfer it out. I unlocked it and pressed the "Send Transfer Code" button-- but there is no transfer code sent.

I have checked the email address in the Admin and it is correct. 

I keep pressing the Send Transfer Code button but I get no results. Is there any other way to do this?

I'm setting up to transfer all my domains off also been a few hours no code but it did state it can take up to 24 hours to get the code. Squarespace is total trash but my fault I should have transferred my domains off google when they announced the sale.

Oh, didn't see that. Thanks for sharing.

I've been waiting for several days, and have been unable to reach anybody from Squarespace about this.  Not a great introduction to this company...

I press the Send Transfer Code button and get nothing for days and days.

It took me more than three days to get in contact with somebody from Squarespace support for this issue.  I've since transferred my domains to Namecheap, and they've been great!

Closing my account here now.  All the best.

Squarespace previously had a method to approve and confirm a domain transfer out of squarespace even though Support had no clue about it. 

Has this feature been removed simply to be a pain in the butt?

There is no reason a modern domain registrar should prevent users from instantly transferring their domains instantly when the appropriate information is available.

I used auth codes and ACCEPTED transfer, now SquareSpace wants me to wait 5 days to transfer? Clear violation of ICANN policy. When it was Google Domains the transfer was done in as little as 10 - 15 minutes. Done on purpose as GoDaddy / SquareSpace doesn't want you to leave.
