    you should try using the search facility on this site!

    seeing as your new though, crown currency are well thought of on mse.com and speaking from personal experience I can highly recommend them.

    First Review you come across
    """"I palced a order in july with this company and have just found out they have not sent me my money due to a it problem this is despite having my £3000 pound for the past 2 months. """

    I guess if we all just did searches instead of posting messages, then this would become an empty forum dont you think ?

    Still gonna use this company anyway and hope for the best!

    Is there any way to get the Euros as a bank transfer? I need to buy a lot of Euro, but I have no use for cash since I want to put them into a Euro bank account. I like that rate, however.
  • Voyager, I think you'll find they only do cash or travellers cheques.
    I pre-ordered in late August for September and got a good rate of 1.22.

    The money arrived today, as I'd chosen, before 1p.m.

    Just checked the rate tonight and saw the good deal for October/November at 1.25.

    That seems pretty good to me so I've ordered some.

    I'd just come on here to tell people but someone's beat me to it.:D
  • Just found this info on their site.

    • Credit Transfers (UK or International) - We can arrange to transfer the money directly into your bank account by credit transfer. For international credit transfers, there will be an additional charge which can vary but you will be informed of this before the transaction takes place. Also please note that electronic transfers can only be taken over the phone.

    I just ordered, with the rate 1.23 to the £ ... Given the euro was like 1.18 to the £ only 6 days ago, just goes to show how quick a rate can change (its at 1.12 in say M&S and the Co-Op travel ) :(

    If you ask for a Monday delivery it will more than likely be delivered on the Saturday, but this is not guaranteed.

    However if the postie tried to deliver and you were out they will leave a card as it needs to be signed for. You can either rearrange delivery or pick it up from the sorting office.
