Crown Currency In trouble? Avoid

  • Voyager,
    this is their charge for sending euros to a euro bank account.
    Not sure if your bank would charge for receiving funds though. You'd have to check.

    £1,000 to £2,500 costs £30.
    £2,501 to £5,000 costs £25
    £5,001 to £7,500 costs £20

    Other people have said the same thing...even checking spam folders, etc. they're adamant the email isn't coming in. If you have someone else in the house with a different email address maybe have them sign up and see.
    Does remembering a time that a certain degree of personal responsibility was more or less standard means that I am officially old?

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

    Can you arrange for a delivery on saturdays too? I work mon to fri so saturday would be my only day I would be in to answer the doorbell


    You cannot ask for a Saturday delivery. However there's a good chance - but no guarantee - that a Monday delivery will actually arrive on the Saturday.

    If you are not in Royal Mail will leave a card telling you to call to rearrange the delivery or saying where you can collect it.

    our Monday 27/09 delivery arrived today. :) We know there's no guarantee, but so happy when it happens as it means not having to make a trip to the sorting office during the week and then carrying the cash around all day.

    When i called them i added another email address with them, both a hotmail 1 and my work 1.

    strange....it would be great if someone could post up on here who get the emails when they are sent out

    If by chance they dont deliver when they say they will, and a few days after that, then it will be a trip to there offices in cornwall.. and i'm a take no prisoners kinda guy :) but so far, got no reason not to trust this company......

    I have never heard of anyone who didn't have their currency delivered on the date agreed, apart from those that received it on the Saturday before a Monday agreed date.

    Crown Currency aren't regulated by the Financial Services Compensation scheme so if anything happens to them you won't get your money back.

    Is it really worth the risk for a few extra pounds?
