CaxtonFX/FairFX have I left it too late?

I am going to Malaga on 3rd of May and was looking to get either a Caxton or Fairfx card to use while I am away, was about to apply for the Fairfx and noticed it is 7 - 10 working days to receive the card, as there is only 7 working days left until I go, have I left it too late?

What seems to be the general time people receive their cards ?

    Get the Travelex Cash Passport Globe if they have a pick up point convenient to you.

    Mine came pretty quick to be honest I'd say less than 7 working days

    Cool, thanks dtaylor, it was more to do with the bank holidays and royal wedding that I was worried about.

    Will take a look at the travelex suggestion, thanks stilltheone!

    Yeah suppose that may slow it down but suppose if you just put the minimum on it then if it turns up top it up if not just buy euros and use it next time you go on holiday
