I’ve come to think that most bulk transfer problems aren’t really transfer problems at all. They usually start earlier, when the portfolio itself is already messy. Mixed registrars, inconsistent contact details, domains locked for different reasons, renewal dates landing too close together, and nobody quite sure which names are tied to which client. By the time someone says “let’s move everything,” the real issue is that the structure was never clean in the first place.
Would be interesting to hear what people here think is usually the biggest pain point in bulk moves: timing, auth codes, billing, ownership records, or something else.
 
I think the issue also starts with people not knowing how to map fields using CSV.

Download the losing registrars CSV map the fields properly with the winning registrars CSV and upload.

Then again everything goes to hell in a handbag if the losing registrar does not allow downloading of the transfer codes.

I remember GoDaddy did this the best for me, I was able to download with or without the transfer codes. In my opinion GoDaddy had the best bulk transfer tools and that is saying a lot because I'm not a huge Godaddy fan but their bulk tools always worked for me and I have yet to see any that work as well.
