No variety of notes provided

The order process and delivery were fine BUT ...

they ask "do you want small, large or mixed denominations".
I chose small. I know they say the can't guarantee it, but I got one type of note, all equivalent to over £40 each.
That's not helpful

Very quick

Very quick, seamless transaction. Filled in the form on line, they emailed me a buy back amount. I took it to the post office, sent recorded delivery. It arrived with them by 2pm the next day and as I had paid the £4.99 for a fast deposit the money was in my account by the close of business that day. 100% recommend.
