I wish I had read the support article before I signed up for an account and gave them all my details.
Sigh.
The email verification for tier 2 just came through--only 5 days it took, which is faster than I expected given how overloaded all the exchanges are at the moment--but I had submitted up to tier 3 documents. I thought that I would be able to start depositing fiat currency at this point, but going through their support docs, it turns out this is not possible.
I'm outside the US, so I mistakenly believed that there would be a credit card option as well as a US bank account transfer option.
What are my other options? I'm aware of LocalBitcoins.com but that looks a bit too dodgy for me, plus all the sell prices are insanely high. I'm in New Zealand, so I have signed up for Cryptopia, but those poor folks are a bit overworked and under-resourced by the looks of it.
That's my last resort as I understand it, but I'm just not sure how far away that is. If I can speed up the process and get myself some funds to starting buying some crypto, that would make me happy.
Do you have any advice or links you can send my way?

I have a couple of other blog posts in the works, one is my take on blockchain, which I hope everyone will find interesting, plus I have been researching crypto faucets and am writing an article/tutorial. So please follow me if these sound interesting and you want to keep up to date with my posts.
