Yes, but there's been an incident before where they canceled everyone's order due to massive volume (huge crash I think).
So I would just sign up for their instant purchase anyways.

Thanks I made my first purchase yesterday it said could take 4 days but now says end of the 26th maybe because of the holidays?
Yes, it is 4 business days. I've made a number of purchases through Coinbase and never had any problems. I think some of the delays others have experienced are triggered by the Anti-Money-Laundering rules that banks have to follow. I tend to make smaller purchases and then wait for each one to be confirmed before initiating a new one.They will send you an email when your coins are available.

Yes, it does, although the price can actually change while you are in the process of buying, though of course this is just a minute or two window, but it did this to me on my last purchase, but the price only rose a buck or two so I didn't freak. Anyway, once you complete your purchase/sale, the price is "locked in", yes. I've had very good luck with coinbase, although I wish I didn't have to wait so long to get my coins, but I don't have a credit card to do the last step of the verification. I wish that all these businesses could see that people like me are trying to get away from institution-controlled things like credit cards, rather than using them, but I understand they are trying to protect themselves from charge-backs and such things.
Good luck.
