[Discussion] can we stop arguing about network until somebody posts a number
The title is the whole question — can we stop arguing about network until somebody posts a number — but here is why I am asking.
Rate quotes expire because the underlying rate moves. A short expiry is ordinary; urgency about your decision is a separate signal and should be read separately.
A test transaction costs one extra network fee and verifies the address, the network and the recipient’s crediting process before the main amount moves.
The transaction hash is the canonical receipt: it is public, verifiable by either party, and it is what a support query should quote.
Ask me anything specific. Anything general I will probably get wrong.

Same. Asking which networks are accepted before ordering has saved me twice.
This. A test transaction on a large order costs a fraction of the fee and removes the whole class of risk.

This is the check that prevents the only genuinely unrecoverable mistake in this thread.
Correcting myself upthread: it was 3 confirmations, not the number I posted, and it settled fine.
quote expiry is a real thing, not a pressure tactic
Some chains require a memo or destination tag to route funds to the right account. Omitting it on those chains is one of the more common ways payments go astray.
Network fees are set by chain congestion at the time of sending. They are paid to the network, not to the recipient, and they vary by hour as well as by chain.
Nearly sent on the wrong network. The token symbol was identical and the address format was the only clue.
Agreed. Network first, address second, amount third, and in that order every time.
Confirmations are the count of blocks built on top of the one containing your transaction. Until there are some, the transaction is not settled in any meaningful sense.
