They e-mailed and confirmed at the time of the transaction a REF. number. You can choose a pick up point and time when you are arranging the money transfer. The site address is http://www.travelex.co.uk/

We picked it up at our local airport exchange office as i know where it is. They rang us up 2 days before to confirm the money transaction and that the money was there. At first using the net we were a bit worried it would all go wrong but we are very confident with there service and had no problems.
Argh - was all going so well, tried to order online but they wanted a card payment. My credit card company will charge me over £30 for the privilege of using my 'always paid off in full' card and the debit card has a max limit on it which stops us using that. Will try ringing them tomorrow and see if we can pay in cash - although no one seems to like cash these days !
