Good service and options

I ordered on line and it was available 3 days later as required. No fees applicable when paying by Bpay. The service was very accommodating and changed some large value notes into smaller value notes to assist with tipping etc. Much appreciated. PS I always order through Travelex due to their range of currency held.
