Yeah, until it happens to you...

The volume I attempted to purchase was on par with amounts I've sold successfully.

CB might be the best we've got for selling.

But certainly not for buying... LBC is the best I know as far as that goes.

I tried CB mostly cause I've been searching for a good place to buy from on the weekends for a while now (i.e. from my PC as opposed to bank deposits) but this particular order was placed during a weekday last week.

But it is not like they charged my account and didn't deliver.  So it isn't the end of the world.  It's just disappointing because, had I known they would turn down the same account that worked on the selling end, I would have paid a little more for localbitcoin and i would have made a nice profit already... and I guess also because I thought they were a bit more honorable.  I actually wanted to give them benefit of the doubt when I made this post, thinking if they chime in maybe there is a legitimate reason, but after reading up on it a bit, I think the opportunistic claim could be valid.
