The transfer process for domain names varies, dependent on the type of domain in question.
UK domains (all domains that end .uk)
Domains ending in .uk require 2 simple steps to be completed to transfer them in instantly:
1) Update the Tag to STACK.
2) Complete the transfer via the Client Area.
To do these steps:

- Login to your Client Area at oskam.co.uk/goto/login and click Store and then click Transfer Domains to Us.

- Complete checkout.
- The transfer will complete almost instantly.
