    Just ordered via Asda, I was going to Changegroup but waited and managed to get a good rate on some Lira's!

    No solution but your post did help me and cost them a sale.

    I also have Halifax Clarity Cards, but one nearly got swallowed whilst abroad so still like to take some cash.

    Thanks for your suppprt Kernow, but surely the point of this website is to 'save money'? And as for little known they come out top of the list when searched through this very site. Berk

    All the other advice has been gratefully received and we will take it on board. I won't be giving up until every option is exhausted.

    We bought currency and were promised 'delivery' not sticking in the post and hoping!

    Thanks again all.

    They havent got a leg to stand on in regards to you not getting what you ordered. insurance is for them not you.

    Fight it, they wont be able to...

    Nearly?

    Another card or two is a better option than changing cash. Especially relying on cash to arrive in the post :eek:

  • You can take ChangeGroup to small claims for non-delivery. Much easier than it sounds too.

    Good old Barclays have got us all of our money back from these clowns.

    All the best.
