Bump. Has anyone tried/had success with this?

I ordered 3 coins last Friday as my first ever purchase and was definitely worried they wouldn't arrive on their scheduled date due to all the complaints I had seen about "High risk" transactions once prices dramatically rise.

I received them as promised that very morning at the locked in price from last Friday with absolutely no problems. As I said in another forum, I don't think people talk as much about successful purchases as much as they do about failed ones, giving the appearance that they cancel every purchase whenever the price of bitcoin shoots up.

I hope your transaction goes through! I'm going to give the instant buy verification a try early next week once they get some more in stock

I placed an order on Friday for 4 bitcoins at $426 and grew worried that I would not receive them this morning (their due date) after reading all the stories of "high-risk" transactions that might have been a result to the dramatic rise in bitcoin prices.

I was very pleased, however, to find my exact order fulfilled as promised this morning. While its easy to say that they do these "high risk" cancellations when prices rise, I don't think there is enough publicity about successful transactions. All we hear about are the ones that are canceled so it makes it appear as though they ONLY "high risk cancel" when prices rise, whereas it could actually only be a small number of instances.

Just my two cents. I can completely imagine how pissed off I would be if I had not received the coins this morning, but it would probably be wrong to say that they do this to everyone.

Ya accessibility plays a huge part. Yesterday for a couple of hours Coinbase was actually even and sometimes higher than Mt. Gox, which usually never happens. Mt. Gox is usually inflated by $50-100 over bitstamp and coinbase. Nice to see them evening out finally though!
