Thanks for any input.
I have used
www.cashbycourier.com both last year and this (just bought some yesterday!). They will ship to USA and Canada overnight for free. They have better exchange rates for cash than
www.oanda.com (which is just a portal for travelex) and no extra commission. And you can purchase with your credit card without cash advance fees.
Today's cashbycourier rates
1000 GBP = 2042 USD
1000 EUR/ECU = 1410 USD
Today's oanda rates (for USA only)
1000 GBP = 2051.92 USD
1000 EUR/ECU = 1420.20 USD
Minimum order on cashbycourier is 300 USD, free overnight shipping on all orders. Maximum order is 2500 USD.
Minimum in oanda is 200 USD, but free shipping only 500 USD and over and that is 2-day delivery. Maximum order is 1500 USD.
About the hedging? I really don't know what to say....
