Overall fine

Overall fine, but I requested small denominations, followed up with a call to request 5&10 notes, and was told they put a note on my order, but received mainly 20€ notes which was disappointing. Was also surprised it was literally cash shoved into an external cardboard envelope, every other company I’ve ordered from the cash comes in some kind of small wallet/envelope inside the external packaging to keep it together.

Dear Rebecca,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that your overall experience was positive, but we are sorry that the denominations you received did not fully meet your expectations.

While we always do our best to accommodate denomination requests, these are subject to availability and, unfortunately, we are not always able to guarantee specific note combinations. We also appreciate your comments regarding the packaging and will ensure your feedback is shared with the relevant team as we continually look for ways to improve our service.

Thank you again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

Kind regards,

Sterling FX

Second or third time I've used them…

Second or third time I've used them now. As per previous times, Euros arrived the next day, very competitive rate and when I asked for a mix of notes that's what I got.

Like the old Ronseal ad: "Does what it says on the tin".

When small value bills aren't that small

I used SterlingFX specifically because of it's ability to provide small denomination bills (with medium and large as the other options), which I needed for small value $ tips on holiday. It's not the cheapest out there, but I thought it was worth it for that. I even paid extra for them to source new bills, because I thought that would make it easier to obtain small bills. What I received was mainly $20 bills. I don't consider those small and certainly no use for the purpose for which I needed them. They will say (as they responded by email) that they don't guarantee denominations and encourage customers to email specific requirements (the latter of which I certainly don't recall). The rest of the service was fine but if I'd known the outcome, I would have gone elsewhere.

Dear Steve,

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that the denominations provided did not meet your expectations.

Please be advised that we always try to accommodate denomination requests where possible, but specific denominations cannot be guaranteed as availability depends on stock levels at the time of fulfilment. We appreciate your comments and will continue to work with our suppliers to improve availability where possible.
