But still no answer. Auth code for a .com is wrong, but they don`t tell the right one :(

It's 2009 and I've run into the same problem. I don't know what kind of piece of shit registrar Galcomm is but the only reason I'm stuck with them for 2 domains is because I bought them from a member here (DNForum) who was just lazy about getting me the correct auth codes (I will not name that person but I certainly will not ever deal with him/her again). I will also never use Galcomm ever again - and I will never buy a domain registered at Galcomm ever again. It's not worth the trouble.

Is there ANY way to get these guys to respond to me? I am trying to renew 2 names that I got stuck with that are registered with them. I paid for the renewal, they took my money, but the renewals keep on failing. They won't respond to my emails, I've even emailed the WHOIS contact email. I am about to lose these two domains. No wonder the guy who sold me these domains just wanted to dump them on me (he's a user here on DNF and I'm a little pissed off that he/she would do that). WTF.

Thanks. Got it taken care of... for now. I wonder what it'll be like when I transfer it out in a couple of months...

Beware of this registrar.

They charge you $49.00 additional fee for domains if you do not renew them right away, despite the fact their website clearly indicates renewal pricing. They make no mention of this in their agreement. The company also runs auctions on the side, so they have more incentive for charging fees on expired domains so they can then turn around and try to sell them. Phone support was worthless as they did nothing to assist.

What do you mean by "right away"?

They advised me of a C&D issue with a typo and that they would be giving the company my info despite the whois privacy and no wipo proceeding, I agreed to instead give the company the domain - then Galcomm turned around and sold it instead of giving it to the complaintant as was agreed. (big suprise) It then remained parked for about a year before the company finally got it through wipo...fun times.
