Returned some unused notes on Friday 6th and still haven’t had money put in my account. We have used your company for years and this is the first time this has happened. Disappointed..

Bought £2,500 worth of Euros
Incredibly frustrating customer service.
I have used this service once before and it worked fine.
This time around it did not end up going well at all.
The main issue was that I wanted the order to be delivered to a different address than my billing address! Last time this worked absolutely fine with no problems, no identity checks, no email exchanges, nothing.
This time around everything went wrong and it was the worst possible timing. They did not send out the order because they had to go through additional checks, forcing me to find a different solution with a different Travel Money exchange at the last minute on the day of my travels.
None of my details changed but this time they kept asking me to verify my identity and were constantly unhappy with any response that I gave. I ended up having an entire email exchange and sharing images of my passport without it resolving anything. As a result, since this was a time-sensitive order I have to go to a different Travel Money exchange and waste more money and time to get myself sorted out.
Additionally, I called them two times with only an answering machine that kept saying to call back later.
I even paid an extra 30 pounds to guarantee the order would come in good time. Involving the manager also did not aid me in my situation.
Finally, even now, on the day of my departure, they are asking for additional verification and saying we did not pass checks (so the order hasn't even left their main office).
Travel FX will do anything to avoid any responsibility for the client and to not refund them, I am appalled at this level of service given how many good reviews they have.
Thank you for your review.

Bought £750 worth of Euros
Ordered £750 of euros ( not my first transaction with Travelfx) but on this occasion the currency never arrived. I realize the fault lies at the door of the Royal Mail who acknowledge it has gone missing but my problem is that Travelfx will not reimburse me or replace the euros until the Royal Mail has finished it’s investigation. As this can take up to 30 days I am left £750 out of pocket and having to buy another lot of euros for my holiday.

Bought £1,000 worth of Turkish lira
I have just used this online company for the first time, at first I was a little sceptical because they were offering better rates than everyone else.
However having now had my Turkish Lira delivered I can safely say I will definitely use TravelFX again.
Easy to use, delivery as planned and exchange rate as stated.
Can’t ask for more
