Foreign Currency Exchange

[originalang]

Does anyone know where I might get Polish zlotyes on a next day basis please. We've had to wait for my husband to be paid before we could order them, I could do with them on Thursday, Friday at the very latest. Its for my son's 21st trip and I'm panicking. Thanks so much for your help.

The bureaux de change at airports usually have all currencies available (without pre-ordering) for any destination served from that airport. (i.e. you may well be able to get Polish currency at your departure airport).

For greater certainty, why not pre-order you currency for collection at the airport? Travelex are represented at almost every airport in the UK (and probably at all airports with flights to Poland). I've just tried a dummy run on their website and I had no problems pre-ordering Polish currency for collection on Thursday (or any date thereafter) at a random airport (I used Cardiff for my test):

Any Post Office (except a few very remote ones in eg the Scottish Highlands) can get them in 24 hours if you order before 2pm.

Aww thanks so much both of you for taking so much time and trouble to help, I really appreciate it, thats a relief.

Bear in mind that you won't get a good exchange rate at the airport, as they can pretty much offer what they like seeing as you would have no other choice.

Thanks squarebear I'll try the post office first in the morning.

Just wanted to say a big thank you again for all your help, I've rung the post office this morning and will be able to collect the zlotyes tomorrow, it would've been today even but they didnt have quite enough in. Can I also just let people know that both members of staff that I spoke to were extremely helpful so would recommend the post office regarding customer service.
