Crown Foreign Currency Exchange

Thanks to this site, I ordered euros 4 weeks ahead through Crown Exchange. They were delivered this morning as advised by email and, on an order of 525 euros, I received 36 euros more than if I'd gone today to my (commission free) bank - a gain of 7% :j

Great stuff and thanks to mse.com!

  • I also used them to buy Euros that were delivered yesterday (Saturday). This was odd as they said that they did not deliver on Weekends but who cares as I got 7% more:-
    • NATWEST (my bank) quoted 1.07 eu/£ (Thieves!)
    • The Post Office offered 1.11 eu/£ (not bad)
    • Crown gave me 1.144 !
    I did not get the email notification but, as I saved all that money, I REALLY did not care.

    Well Done!
