Terry, I read the thread, sorry for not seeing the domain name in question. Wish you the best of luck with any other registrar.

i been with namecheap for 5 years now and i had no issues with them. They might have made a mistake.
every company who sell domains have register domain for 1year and 1month that what icann ask for and when you buy domain for 1year and not renew the domain, then company from where you bought the domain have it one more month then it cant be lost.
after 1year and 1month if you not register the domain then you lost it. and people should stop angry on other company with they mistakes, if you will renew the domain i promise to you nothing will happen to your domain.
WRONG domains are registers for min. 1 year. if its not renewed you have a short time to renew before it goes into redemption which can cost a fortune to renew from redemption.
but you need to read my opening comment before making your comment.
i had a domain that was to be renewed and was in fact set to autorenew and i had the funds in my namecheap account. I got an email to say it had 1 day left to renew, but infact they expired the domain 1 hr 32 minutes later.
The admitted their mistake and renewed the domain at their expense
Before it hits the redemption period it goes through a very short grace period which does allow clients to renew at regular rates after the expiration. However, once this period is over it enters the redemption period at which point most domains are simply not worth it.
