Due to high volatility they're safeguarding themselves against fluctuations in Bitcoin prices.

If they arrange to meet with you 2 days from now, the BTC/USD rate could have moved by quite a few percentage points already.

Speculation. But I have to say it's not completely unwarranted.

I paid $5 over spot locally last week.  But I don't regret it today.
Looking for details?

Well buying local can avoid the the majority of fees.
Which might account for a slightly higher price sometimes.

Having tried a few exchanges, It does tempt me to do it.
