Although it looks like that the redemption fee does not go into effect until 45 days aftyer the domain actually expires - but is still listed in their registry.

Oh man, I just noticed that. For the past couple moths I have been cursing them thinking that the fee went into effect 30 days before the expiration date. Thanks to you, it now seems that this is not the case. Although, the chart is still not that clear and they lost my business because of it.

Maybe I should stop playing with my "jump to conclusions mat."
