Not true. I just transferred 2 domains today... both to Namesilo from GoDaddy. They were scheduled to expire tomorrow. They're sitting in my NameSilo account. It took about an hour, give or take 10 minutes, to do it.
As soon as you pay for it at NameSilo, they look up your whois info, get the admin email address and send you an email asking if you want to proceed with the transfer. Click the link and then they email GoDaddy. Godaddy takes anywhere from 10 to 30 minutes to email you if you really want to do it. You click yes, do it. It gets sent to the central registry, that takes a few minutes. Then NameSilo tells you its done. Godaddy trhen sends an email saying they're sorry to see you to go and reminds you that you can transfer domains to them for as little as $7.xx
I have the exact same experience with NameCheap. I can transfer domains expiring in under 24 hours from GD to NameCheap just as easily and efficiently.
Maybe things have changed? I have had no problems at all transferring, so long as they are not expired or in redemption, they seem to transfer quite fast.
