The Lady at this site was late back…

The Lady at this site was late back from lunch, told me to wait 5 minutes as she was on a private call, only when her line grew with 3 extra people that she told the caller she better call them back as she was at work. She hadn’t even had her lunch as it was sitting on her chair. She did apologies and tell me to come up. We exchanged details and she looked her my order but was rather flustered, she then got another call which I believe was your organisation thinking she was getting robbed which wasn’t the case but had to give codes etc. she then came back to me to count the Vietnam dollars and had a lot of trouble counting, I did want to ask her if I could do it for her, I was patient though and she got there in the end. She also asked me to write a review and gave me a QR code, but I thought to myself you don’t want me to write you a review Luv and put it in the bin. Since you gave me this email, I thought the feedback was necessary. The lady was kind but 2.5 stars for me.

Whangarei is a very valuable store. Jessie is great.

I was very impressed with Jessie at Whangarei she was very helpful and made the process easy. I brought online and then collected in store on my chosen date. Communication with the company was also excellent after I placed my order. I even got an email saying my cash was ready then another after I had collected. Very valuable service. The only one north of Albany.

Relieved

Easy to use website. Easy to collect from store. Everything went as expected.

One downside is there are no collection spots in Hawke’s bag so had to drive to Taupo to collect my cash.

Cash came in a range of denominations which I wasn’t expecting going off previous reviews.

Travelex absolutely made our trip

Travelex absolutely made our trip so easy. When I went to top up I was unsure what to do. We phoned a very pleasant and helpful young man in Albany who was very patient and talked us through it. After that, it was no problem at all to top up, keep track of the money paid out and the balances. Many thanks Travelex.

We had a great experience with Travelex. We placed an order for US dollars online and it was a seamless process. Easy to follow instructions and exchange rate was fair. We picked up at our local Travelex in Porirua, Wellington and staff were so friendly and efficient. Would definitely use again and highly recommend.
