Not unrealistic, no - you just have to be patient. I always call before I travel to either to ask what quantity of each they have, and they are usually happy to hold them for me while I drive down.
They are very slow at restocking them though, so if you take £1,000 tomorrow don't expect them to have more by 5th December.

I've never managed more than £1,800 in one go though

Exactly.
Or at the very least £5k anywhere else on 3V to get 12,500/10,000
