Travelex.co.uk celebrates its 10,000th Home Delivery with price drop
Reduced £3.99 delivery fee for orders under £500
Date: Aug 06, 2009
Travelex.co.uk has today announced a reduction in the cost of its Home Delivery service from £5.99 to £3.99, to celebrate its 10,000th order. Travellers ordering less than £500 can now benefit from a reduced delivery cost, ahead of the summer holiday season. Currency orders of £500 or more will continue to receive free home delivery.
Research from Travelex.co.uk reveals that the average holiday cash spend is set to increase to £400 this year, as more families opt to take cash over credit cards. According to Travelex.co.uk, since the onset of recession, credit card spending abroad has dropped by nearly a fifth (17%) and nearly half (41%) of holiday-makers predict they will save on average £100 per trip by ditching credit cards in favour of cash, and over one in ten (13%) are set to save up to a massive £300 per trip.
Travelex.co.uk’s Home Delivery service allows travellers to take advantage of its unrivalled online Price Promise, which guarantees the best price foreign currency, commission free or the difference refunded. By ordering online, travellers have the flexibility to plan ahead and order currency up to 60 days in advance or, for more last minute travel, take advantage of Travelex.co.uk’s Next Day delivery service, with orders possible up to midday the day before departure.
Julian Neal, Director, Travelex said, ‘We’re delighted to announce this reduction in cost for the Home Delivery fee ahead of the holiday season. The majority of our customers already benefit from free Home Delivery, but those travellers wanting to take a lower amount of currency will now also get much better value for their money.”
