Travel Money Max And Minimum Amounts Feedback

Hi,
On the MSE Travel Money Max site, if you enter low amounts of currency for collection, many of the exchanges do not return a result with the error message "Below its minimum amount".
This may be the case if you pre-order on the web, however if you turn up in person at the Bureau de Change many of them will sell you smaller amounts. For example I just bought 80 Euros at Marks And Spencer and got the rate quoted on Travel Money Max. However the Travel Money Max site says slightly misleadingly that it is below their minimum amount which implies they wouldn't sell it to me.
Could I suggest a clarification please with regards which exchanges would sell you the smaller amount if you turned up in person? Perhaps an option would be useful that shows you the rate and conversion for each exchange regardless of what amount you type in?
Thanks
