  • Just bought £600 worth of Euros from Fairfx at 1.1905. They are great to deal with and their cards are handy too!
  • Hi

    I finally got thru and pre-ordered my Euros for 24t August. I didn't get an email so I called them to confirm that it was all ok and they said that it was and that the offer was extended to 5:30pm due to the server overload, just incase that helped.

    I ordered 480euros for £403.53 @ 1.1895 collection and that was top on the MSE comparison table.

    I got 280 euros for this weekend's jaunt to Holland and germany. 1.19, happy with that. I usually use Fairfx but that's only 1.185 at the moment.

    Y I MAN

    Has anybody had their confirmation email through yet?
    I ordered £320 Euro's at about 4.15 and got through to the order completed stage with order reference number and not heard a sausage since.
    As the order isn't accepted until the email is sent i'm a little bit jittery.
    When you get to the end of your tether, tie a knot and hang on.

    Just got my confirmation through at 6:15.

    Took me quite a while to get the site to load originally (obviously high volume of traffic) but the buying process was straighforward enough.

  • Got mine at 6:23, but I did phone to confirm at 4:50pm. Website was slow, but got there in the end. It was better towards the cut-off time

    Dollar sale is now on. Rate is 1.545 which is better then it was this morning when it was 1.5208
  • Don't waste your time, this is a complete con!!

    Yesterdays rate for Dollars was 1.54, this morning it dropped to 1.52, then the sale took it back to 1.54 again.

    :(
