The Fidelity -> IEX -> CS trains run pretty reliably IME. DRS is very easy now.
I'm of the mindset now though that price transparency is really not in buyers immediate best interests though.
Better to buy fake entitlements through the fraudulent exchanges at lower prices. When you DRS they then have to go buy the real shares at increased cost, or steal someone else's shares (ETF, target retirement funds, etc. most likely to be robbed IMO)
I just DRS’d shares from Fidelity this morning. Their auto chatbot takes less than a minute to start the process. Couldn’t have been any easier.
I used to buy from CS directly, but stopped for a number of reasons: not being able to control the buy price, the fees, the fractionals you need to dump, etc.
All of this was solved by using Fidelity. I control my buy price, no fees, no fractionals , and their DRS process puts the shares in “Book” within CS.
Oh, and Fidelity allows me to buy immediately when I tell them to do a transfer from my personal non-Fidelity checking account. CS makes you wait a couple of days.
My one time purchase of GME just cleared with CS. Since I have no idea what the differences are, I'll be trying to figure out whether I want to convert from plan to book or terminate from Directstock on CS later today🐸
Use Fidelity and buy through IEX. Or purchase directly from computer share

plan can be recalled or lent for shorting. book secures in your name and pulls it out the dtcc.
do what you want, but that's the basics.
