It depends on the registrar, Some are kind enough to hold it for you, and send you e-mails to remind you, while some just let it go and don’t care. Usually, you are given a 30 day period before the name is up for grabs.
Also, you need to consider that some domains can be renewed automatically, so once it expires, it gets renewed and recharged on the credit card.http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthrea…

It really depends on who hold it. Sometimes it takes them forever it seems. Maybe make an offer of use a “backorder” type service to get the name. There are many services that can provide this.
