Find a StoreI always use travelex and they've never let me done. And when I stuffed up the dates on my recent Thai Baht order their team on the one and at the airport fixed it without any qualms
DaveSeamless process, easy ordering, easy collection & no queue!
Sue BrockmanAll proceeded well. Kept informed on pickup. Very slick altogether.
Michael ReesEasy service and great exchange rate. Will use again and recommend to everyone
Debra Gay LeyshanGreat to use the service and will use it again. However it was a surprise to receive it when I did. I elected 7 May for the delivery and made arrangements to stay in as the time frame given was between 9-5! Imagine my surprise to receive it on 3 May. Glad I was in! And I was very happy to get it early.
