Ouch; they should refund your fee, at least.
Document submission is a potential problem with any online service. If there's any way to visit a FSDO with the paperwork, then that's the way to go.
American Flyers' content is pretty dry, but you can't beat the price. I've used it three times now. The FAA is a thirty minute drive from my house, so it's just a matter of printing out the graduation certificate and making an appointment.
