Foreign Exchange ready to collect the next Day

Ordering my foreign exchange online was very easy, and the money was ready to collect at my local Waitrose the next day. As always, it was a pleasure to deal with the Waitrose staff at my local store.

Getting the euros was very easy and…

Getting the euros was very easy and straight forward. I pay for most things with my credit card so i didn't even consider using my debit card sadly to pay for this. So yes you guessed it on £700 euros I have been charged £21! My own stupid fault.

Mis sold credit

I was given a credit limit on application which subsequently lowered when it arrived for no other reason than some administration issue.

Good exchange rate but mostly received 50 euro notes.

The exchange rate was very good, at the time of purchase £1 =1.15 euros. However, I ordered online to collect on Tuesday 21st July and when I arrived in store, it was not ready. On top of the order being late, 250 euros was in 50 euro notes, hardly ideal given that I was travelling to Montenegro and very few businesses were able to break into a 50 unless I made a significant purchase and there was no option of changing them. Unfortunately there was no option to request particular denominations online, perhaps consider implementing this feature so that customers are not given unusually large notes that are difficult to change.

Thanks for sharing your review Scott. We're sincerely sorry your online order wasn't quite ready for collection as expected. Your feedback regarding the ability to request specific denominations online is valuable. We are always looking for ways to enhance the customer experience. Suggestions like this are welcome and will be reviewed when considering any future changes to our service. ^Trish
