Just wire money to an exchange. Use gdax instead of coinbase itself, they are the same company, but coinbase the website charges you for ease of use. There is also gemini and kraken.

Right, exchange is the best place to buy bitcoin cheaply. Some other third party things like coinbase, shapeshift and xapo are problematic when you want to buy bitcoin. They have crazy commisions and fees.

I've been using coinabase but fees are high. Anywhere "much" cheaper?

Thanks

Yeah, don't bother using coinbase or other wallets to buy bitcoin off, they may be quick and easy but they have probably the worst rates ever, you can try buying bitcoin in other places for example:

Localbitcoins!  You can easily find some sellers, and make sure to buy off trusted users and make sure you send proof of you transferring money. You can even set up a shop to sell and buy bitcoin.

so far, I am using localbitcoin to find recommended seller and I am using my friend services. I don't know any place which have cheap place to buy bitcoin because so far, I think the different is not too far. maybe you can find one seller or two in your local city so you can get bitcoin with cheap fee. but if the fee is less than $5, I think its no problem and its fine.

Just tested it out and was waaaaay cheaper.
