Update to my negative review on Friday

Update to my negative review on Friday.
The company called me to apologise. They closed early on Friday for staff training and believed they had sent emails to anyone picking up currency that day. They could see that for some reason I never received said email.
My apology from the company was sincere and accepted. I believe if genuine mistakes are made and a personal phone received to apologise, then it is only fair to write another review to praise the company.
Because of their prompt handling of my complaint and the sincere nature in which it was delivered, I will definitely be using the company again.

Will be using again

Placed order, was nervous as never requested money to be delivered via post before. Got a call the day before confirming they had my address correct, which gave me confidence. Arrived when expected and early.

Thank you

Best in London ! 😊

Juliana has provided excellent help on exchanging some money!
Their rates are much better compared to others across London! She was also very friendly and nice ☺️
I exchange money often and my experience with them definitely has been the most positive!
They also emailed to confirm when they made the transfer which i thought was very great especially that no other exchange place done that.
Highly recommend and certainly will use them again! 😊

Brilliant service from Juliana

Brilliant service from Juliana. Needed to sell 23K euros cash. All process was smooth and easy with Juliana. Another companies didn't want deal with that amount of cash. Covent Garden FX asked me for all paperwork and there were happy with everything. Next thing I was travelling to London and exchanged the money with very good rate. Received the money how I was told. Very happy and definitely recommending Covent Garden FX.

I ordered USD3000 which I received on time. Thank you.

Please be considerate in your denominations if one is buying a large amount and take note of the time the notes were produced. Most people will not know which countries accept older USD notes. As a forex company you would know and be aware. I bring this to your attention so another person will never be in my shoes. Please do the same to your fellow man.
 
I received USD2700 in USD100 notes and USD300 in USD20notes. I did not anticipate any problems until now I am on holiday. 

My holiday has been spoiled and I feel very sad and teary. The reason being you gave me old USD100 and USD20 notes. The country I am in which is Zimbabwe does not accept those notes. They only accept the ones after year 2013.  No place accepts the notes you gave me as they are old in years.  I have spent nearly £6000 on my tickets for me and the children.

 What saved me was when I phoned the reserve bank, I was informed to bank them first and take them out as new notes. I had to ask a local  person to use their bank account as I dont have a bank account in this country. What I was not aware is that for each USD1000 old notes I banked I lost USD40 in exchange. I had no choice but to accept that as how will  I survive in a foreign  land with children until our return on the 26th of August.  Why did you not be considerate and give me at least a USD1000 in smaller denominations and newer notes in years?

 What you have made me go through in the last few days since our arrival on the 28th of July, I do not even wish you to be in my shoes as that would be very cruel to see a fellow man go through this and worse of all if I am aware of that issue about that country as I am sure I am not the first person who has bought forex money from you travelling to Zimbabwe

Thank you

Hello.

I'm very sorry to hear you had troubles abroad. If you were going to a country that does not accept certain notes you really need to let us know during the ordering process. We do have a premium denomination box that you can tick and let us know exactly what country you are going to and the notes required but as we had no idea we will send you regular good notes from our supplier. The emails sent to you do say unless you have selected the premium denomination request we cannot guarantee denominations.
Whilst I am genuinely sorry you had this experience it could have been avoided if we knew exactly what you wanted during the ordering process.
I hope you and your children have a safe journey back.
Kind Regards,
Sam - Customer Services
