Rec’d email advising currency available on Sat 26/07 No staff member there. Another gentleman and I waited half an hour. Sainsbury’s said they couldn’t help as it was an independent business. Telephoned the number in the kiosk, Staff member on duty on 25/7 off sick. No replacement. Had to return on Monday27th July to pick up currency as leaving on 28 th July.

Ordering my euros was easy

Ordering my euros was easy, but when I had completed and paid for my euros, I was shocked to see that I had inadvertently ordered double the amount I wanted. I had to transfer money from my savings which I had not intended. It is, of course, possible that I typed incorrectly, but I could not go back and check once I had paid. This would have been helpful to check if the fault was mine.
