At Covent Garden FX, we do our best to give a general mix. If you have a specific, essential requests; for example, notes dated after a specific year, or a large quantity of small denominations then this will come at a premium charge.
This charge is £20. The charge covers the additional costs to purchase your notes directly from wholesale and is just a small contribution to the additional Royal Mail charge for sending multiple parcels, as we are weight restricted by Royal Mail. We aim to be entirely transparent with our customers, and for us to be able to offer the best most competitive rates, we can't accommodate requests unless the premium is paid. This allows us to keep our best rates, and postage costs low.
Rising prices have hit all industries, and we are not immune to this. If you have any more questions about this service, then please contact our customer services team via email.
We reserve the right to alter this price at our discretion depending on the nature of the request. Multiple shipments or large quantities of small denominations may incur an additional charge, if this is the case a member of our team will be in touch.
