Euros - best delivered rate and recommendations ?

[bigdods]

To save myself wandering around town with a large wedge of cash I thought I would buy my Holiday Euros online and have them delivered. All the online places seem to offer about the same value for money, can anyone recommend one of the following having used their service.

Or is there somewhere else I should be buying from ?

Travelex
Post Office - Worst rate
Ice
The currency club - Best rate, 13 euros more than the lowest one (woohoo!)

Have used Travelex a lot and they always deliver the best rate.

Where are you off to??

Just off to Greece , in the past have never found in resort exchange rates to be that good so I usually buy in advance

Funnily enough we went to Tenerife in March and the best rate then, on the High Street, was Thomas Cook, but we were able to improve on the rate out there in most of the exchange rates.

Stoped using cash a while ago, now use a Halifax clarity card.

The rates they give for purchases and cash withdrawals are SO much better than currency exchange.

Just got back from a Trip to mauritius where we spent £1500 whilst out there. We got 41rupees to the pound for the £100 we changed, but go 46 to the pound on any cash we withdrew and any purchases made. Our actual local spend was 69,000 rupees- with our halifax card it cost us £1483 but if we had gone to travelex it would have cost us £1678, almost £200 in our favour. We do have to pay interest for 3 weeks on the money, but that amounts to £27- substantially cheaper than the fees loaded by a currency place.
