their rate (they use American Express) then I nick over the road and check the same amount at the P.O...(they use Travelex)We live in the sticks so these are are only options if we want foreign currency, never using the airport!!!
When the rates are good I get US from either and sometimes when the rate for Aus to rupiah is good I grab a couple of hundred of them too.......sometimes I get one from the bank (say US) and rupiah from the P.O. as their rate better on the day!!!
Some people think a waste of time.. but I have always paid big US amounts this way and at Xmas paid for our Villa with Euros that worked out a few hundred dollars savings for me!!
