  No, I have to wait that long? But it says I can get a refund within 2 days if I change my mind or dislike it. How is that possible when I have to wait 72 hours?

  Your site loads fine for me – you will be the last one to see the changes

  You domain is redirecting correctly for me here in Canada. We have no control over how long it will take your ISP to flush their DNS caches. It can take up to 72 hours for domain name change to propagate throughout the internet but rarely does.

  Did you notice what it said here?

  5. To activate your new domain go to Settings > Domains, select the button next to the one you wish to activate and click Update Primary Domain. Your blog will be accessible from both of these domains; the Primary Domain is what actually appears as your domain within the address bar of web browsers. If you do not see your blog at the new domain immediately, please allow some time for the DNS changes to propagate. http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/register-domain/#instructions-for-registering-a-new-domain-for-your-blog

  It does give people heart attacks, but it always settles down.
