I tried a week ago; followed instructions to the letter; checked, double-checked I was doing everything right. Still nothing. Hanging on ‘awaiting exchange’.
-
I emailed customer support; so we will see.
-
It was BTC to LTC; not a lot of money; thought I’d give it a shot. I should have just sat tight for when the fees were crazy low on my Blockchain wallet (yesterday) to send BTC to an exchange and swap it there. Lesson learned.
-
Shapeshift recently posted a YouTube video saying they’re crazy busy and be patient with customer service and don’t send 2 emails or you will get bumped to the back of the line. So I figure I’ll wait a while until after the holidays before I see about reaching out again.
Hmm ok. I have some LTC I want to exchange for some other alt coins and saw that l could do that on Shapeshift. Seemed easy enough but waiting a week is scary.

I realize the system is getting pounded; and things are probably just backed up; but still seems to be a bit long; when I had another transaction resolved in a few days.

Another thought is to send LTC to the exchange you want to buy altcoins at; and see if you can buy those altcoins with LTC at the particular exchange. If not; you could always buy BTC with LTC at the exchange to use towards your altcoins. Kind of a pain in the butt, roundabout way; but it’s a thought. Just watch those BTC fees.
Just got a reply from ShapeShift; the deposit did not confirm within 48 hours; so they are refunding the transfer amount........I’ll update when that takes place too.

Their website was showing email replies could take 2-3 days.......this took 8, so I was getting a bit concerned. They must be way busier than expected........guess that’s the high rollin’ lifestyle I agreed to when I step into the Wild West that is cryptocurrencies.
At least you got communication back from them. Surely the crypto will follow shortly. I decided it was too squirrelly for me and held onto my LTC.
Speaking of LTC, what's y'alls thoughts on it ever rebounding? Seems like people have lost faith in it since the main guy sold all of his holdings.
