Order Currency Online - Pick Up From Store

Options
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?

    Do Travelex have a suitable location for you?

    bauhaus, there's a little line of text under the "delivered" bar that say "collection" one is for london, one is outwith London, did you try clicking on that?

    No - most places don't do it.

    The Post Office do - rates are not too bad, and good compared to walkin ones

    Or they could try Tesco.com which does offer collection at some of their branches. Money supplied by Travelex.

    here's a thought....ring your nearest shop and order over the phone and collect in person

    My guide to getting up to £50 cashback from Travelex under their best rate guarantee still works for collection at most airports
