CoinBase wire transfers considered harmful

Or how I lost $7k - hopefully only temporarily. Just a warning to the masses that wire transfers to coinbase/gdax should be considered harmful.

The wire transfer instruction page says that they should be deposited same day if done before noon PT (mine was at 2am ET which afaik is a little before noon) and I haven’t seen the money for days. I’ve submitted a support ticket and received absolutely nothing back. I called their support number and was told 1) that phone support can’t help with wire transfer issues and 2) wire transfers can take up to 10 days - contradicting the info on their wire transfer page.

Searching the web and reddit shows that many others experience the same issues. I highly recommend not sending wire transfers to coinbase until they’ve resolved these issues.
