I always use John Lewis for foreign currency as it arrives the next day at my local Waitrose if I order before 2pm. Good exchange rates too. Only reason I’ve given 4 stars is their website said they... See more

Was quick and easy to order the travel currency. Only issue I experienced was having to arrange a click and collect instead of a home delivery to ensure I could get smaller notes. Last few times... See more

Incredibly easy - bought online and collect near me at a Waitrose counter on my way out after shopping. Just with drivers' licence and took 3 minutes with no queuing!

Very easy to purchase euros

Very easy to purchase euros. I could see clearly the exchange rate, so I knew how much I would receive.
Click and collect very efficient, kept me informed when I could collect and once it arrived I was told it was ready to collect. Excellent service, thank you.

Easy and quick process

Easy and quick process
However disappointed that the online click and collect rate of exchange was different and better than the exchange in store. Had I realised I would have done click and collect. As a loyal customer with the App customers should recieve the same good rate. It’s doesn’t make sense that it’s different.

Hi Mary, thanks for your review and feedback. On your next visit to your local John Lewis shop, I would raise further with a Partner at the Bureau de Change, as the reward should have been deducted at the time of purchase. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused. ^Gina

Disgraceful service

Having been in store to buy and finding the currency desk closed for the day- i ordered online for a collect at a convenient date/Waitrose location
But not when i arrived-the currency was not available at the store pickup on day/time indicated at purchase.
i was passed to someone on the phone by the Waitrose staff -Asked for it to be posted- was told it would be with me but in 4 days time- so rearranged my schedule to be in on that date.
Later that day received an email from Royal mail to say it would be with me the next day- so once again had to reschedule to be in.
Had some of my Bank holiday plans ruined .

Re the reply below from Gina at JL I've wasted time and energy trying to ring her back to discuss my concerns as she has suggested. But nobody on this number and option has been able to put me through and instead want me to through the whole rigmorole with them. I'm assuming Gina is a bot to give generic replies to reviews. Once again appalling customer care from JL.

I ordered my Euros online at a good rate comparing other sites, I also get my points I think using JLewis CC
I like to pick up in store as I don’t like a lot of €50’s
The assistant was very obliging in changing the notes for me, overall good experience

The partners in store weren’t great at all and they told my sister wrong info. We both had the email about the rate sale and had £5 off in store but when we asked about the preferential rate they said it was only online so they weren’t aware as I saw later that it was both online and in store. I got £150 and the guy who served me as soon as we asked these questions and for small notes didn’t really speak again and the service overall was poor. My sister and I got 1.09 instead of 1.13 in the branch then I ordered the rest online. I know it’s not much money but everyone should know the offers. Won’t get it again from Jl
