Order Currency Online - Pick Up From Store

This may seem an obvious one but I'm trying to use the MSE tool for identifying a foreign currency supplier where I can pick up from store rather than have it delivered. So far I've tried Thomsons, Thomas Cook and M&S but none seem to have this facility as part of its online ordering package.
Am I missing something obvious?

No - most places don't do it.
The Post Office do - rates are not too bad, and good compared to walkin ones0 -
Thomas Exchange www.thomasexchange.co.uk offers a 'Fast Track Collection' option, whereby you can order the currency online and it will be ready for instore collection within an hour.
And if you are not a Londoner???0 -
Or they could try Tesco.com which does offer collection at some of their branches. Money supplied by Travelex.0

here's a thought....ring your nearest shop and order over the phone and collect in person'Children are not things to be moulded, but are people to be unfolded'0
