I am still waiting since the 26/02 for funds into bitstamp. Hitbtc were quick to credit funds, usually in 24-48 hours, but if the market is higher than btc-e and they do not fill you then it is time to look at ways to get money into btc-e as they do not take wire transfers from US banks. OKpay may be the way into btc-e. The least hitbtc can do if the market is higher than btc-e is fill your order.
I'am in UK so funds into Bitstamp's euro based bank take 2 days on average .
Hitbtc are euro based but take 5 days .
I know that the first time I sent funds to Bitstamp it took longer but after that 2 days maximum .I sent two lots of funds to Hitbtc and both took 5 days to show up.
I got verified with OKpay but It seemed to be an expensive way to send funds and then Btc-e charge 1% on top of that to accept the funds .
I will have to compare funding methods to see how to get funds to BTC-e the cheapest way ,until they raise their bitcoin price .
