And if you are in Australia, Hong kong or Europe Union, the best way is ANX, it has cero fees and almost instant deposits via bank transfer/deposit, SEPA!

One thing that might work that fast are virtual goods, and for many of them there are marketplaces, so you could do that right now.
However, then the problem boils down to exchanging fiat for other virtual goods beforehand, which does not really make it easier.
The other option would be a bitcoin ATM, of course. If you have one in your neighborhood, you just walk a few steps, insert banknotes and get bitcoins transferred into your wallet within seconds.
Sadly, bitcoin ATMs are few and far between...

Cool. That makes a lot of sense.
What if I could get my money into something that wasn't fiat money? Like some easily traded commodity? I wonder if there would be a safe alternative so I could then turn that around quickly into bitcoin?

How to you intend to send money within 30 minutes such that there is no chargeback risk for the bitcoin seller?
If you want to buy bitcoins with money, you need to take both system's rules into account. For traditional money, fast transactions means either cash which is anonymous but must be done in person, or credit/debit card where there's a certain chargeback risk, so the seller must have info about the buyer to be able to dispute a chargeback.
Just because one side of the trade is bitcoin does not mean that bitcoin's superior transaction features somehow magically apply to the fiat money side of the trade as well.

Like not just locking in a price and getting it later, but actually sending money and getting bitcoin back in my wallet asap. I mean I can't just keep meeting people on localbitcoins as that still takes too long to arrange meeting and what not.
Is there any service where I can just get it in like less than 30 minutes?
