They do require
additional verification in some cases, which they don't clearly specify what that means and what the exact threshold is, or whether its based on suspicious activity or not, so before using them I would assume that you have to submit ID and whatnot. It's a financial institution at the end of the day, so they have to comply with all the rules/policies.
Considering that OP isn't keen on walking himself through a KYC procedure, it probably won't be a proper alternative.
Yeah, it requires a KYC but you don't need to wait for more than a week to be verified since he is looking for a quick way alternative. I suggested it because you don't need to wait longer for KYC verification based on my experience I'm verified within a day after submitting all the requirements.
But if he is looking for no KYC then the suggested by squatter is the best option.
How about looking for someone near who can sell crypto? We have a
section here and I think there are some users there who can offer meetups or buying crypto(As P2P).

Check the Bisq it seems they don't require a KYC verification it is a P2P Fiat Bitcoin exchange.
The only problem for this you need to install their clients and if you experienced some issues like "the software blocked by the AV" just whitelist the Bisq clients.
Just recently found this when searching on the forum it seems interesting p2p client.
This might be their official thread
