Actually, for this domain (the person emailed me offlist) it had already
been registered by another customer at another registrar.
Our policy is to delete the domain at 40 days past expiry, 5 days after
(which is the 45 alloted by the registry) the domain should be released into
the name space. If it's not, we have no more control over it - but can
escalate where pertinent :)
