    Not always true.

    OP are you in/near London?

    I always use https://www.bestforeignexchange.com They give excellent rates and no commission. I can't comment on their delivery service though because I always collect it.

    Their effective charge (based on the difference between their exchange rate and the spot rate) is about 2%. Not bad but certainly not free. Depending on how you use it the Kalixa card would probably be at least as good, most likely better, and more convenient. And you don't have to predict in advance how much money you'll need to change into DKK.
    Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
    On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning
