I have recently set up an account with coinbase and am still waiting for the tier 2 verification process to finish. So far my experience has been good. However waiting 1 week to get the btc in my account so far is very annoying. I have heard of localbitcoins, but have not used them. I am interested in looking for more options other than coinbase just in case. Does anyone have any good alternatives for getting money from a bank in the usa to bte-e (primary), mtgox or bitstamp (backups) exchanges faster. Currently i buy bitcoins from coinbase, then transfer that to the bte-e (exchange).

Little off topic, I know I am probably not understanding how it all works yet. But so far it seems you could buy btc from bte-e, then trasnfer if to mtgox and sell for higher. Seems mtgox is always selling higher than bte-e and thus you could make a profit. Since I am still waiting to get set-up on mtgox, and have not had chance to try this. Can anyone share there experiences in doing this?

Yes, you can buy somewhere else cheaper.
Yes, you can sell higher at Mt.Gox.
But what good is it having fiat at Mt.Gox if they won't actually send it to you?
You need to read some more.
