[Fees] paying $14 of gas to save 10% on a $90 order is not saving
Numbers in the title, numbers in the post. paying $14 of gas to save 10% on a $90 order is not saving.
Numbers, in the order they matter: $14, 10% and $90.
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.
Not medical advice, obviously, and nothing here is approved for human use. One person with a spreadsheet.
best — the order this archive was captured in
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.

Small fix — that is the network fee, not a supplier charge. The distinction matters for the complaint you are making.
match the address character by character, or paste and verify
the memo field matters on the chains that use one
Which network, exactly?
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.

Adding the cheap insurance — test amount first on anything large.
Push back: an unconfirmed transaction is not a missing payment. Wait for confirmations before escalating.
What is and is not the supplier’s fault, since this board generates unfair complaints.
Not theirs: the network fee, chain congestion, confirmation time, the rate moving between quote and send, and a payment sent on the wrong chain. Theirs: which networks they accept, how quickly they credit a confirmed payment, and whether the address they gave you was correct and communicated clearly.
Keeping those columns separate makes the reports here far more useful. A thread titled "supplier took my payment" that turns out to describe forty minutes of unconfirmed transaction helps nobody and follows people around for years.
Sent a test amount first on a large order. Cost me a fraction of a percent and I have done it every time since.
Is the fee you are describing the network fee or something the supplier added?

chain_confirm_c is right about confirmations. "Sent" is not a status.
network and address, checked twice, before anything else
