Best place to buy back unused currency?

Hi
My son returned from a school trip recently with foreign currency to return - almost #200 worth (I couldn't believe it either!) a mix of US and Icelandic. For the sake of ease I was just going to take it back to Tesco but I've seen compareholidaymoney.com who do comparisons on buyback rates - but you return the cash by post (Royal Mail Special Delivery so insured). It seems a much better deal but I'm slightly uncomfortable putting currency in an envelope. Does anyone have any experience of these places. The best one for my requirements seems to be The FX Company based in Stevanage? It's a new way of doing things for me! Thanks.
