I used Currency-to-go (Chase) late October 2001 - they aren't taking online orders - but I called the 800# and it was fine. Up to $1000 max per 10 days - $15 overnight fee for $1-499 - $500-1000 overnighted no shipping charge. Airborne signature required. Accept VISA/MC. (I think you get a different rate or reduced shipping if you are a Chase bank cust?)

A word of advice against CTG.. be cautious of their rates. I recently ordered Chilean Peso's from CTG. They gave me a rate of .0014 to 1 USD. I bought $996 worth. (580,000) When I arrived in Chile - at the airport after Passport control - there was a currency exchange selling Peso's for .0017 to 1 USD. My $996 would have bought about 680,000 pesos. (100,000 difference!) Lesson: CTG cost $170 more then the AIRPORT EXCHANGE! CTG's "fee" of 17% is a bit steep - even for Currency exchange in my experience.

Almost all CE's have elimnated "fees" and have put them in the rates.

Just a note: I don't blame Chase. They were clear about their rates and had no hidden charges. I purchased full well knowing what the rates were - that is just their business. My only comment is that their rates for CHP's was horrible - so be very cautious about their other currency rates. I expected them to be reasonably similar ($30-40 "fee" expected 3-4% or so). Sometimes the hotel/airport can be fairly reasonable. In any case - the service worked well and the $ arrived (new bills) as promised the next night. Very easy!

Lesson #2: While changing European currencies ($100-200 worth) in advance is a good idea - in Latin America - changing at hotels/malls/airport gave a much better rate - and was much easier.

At 2 large shopping malls, my Marriott and Radisson, and the airport - all had identical rates of 685 to the dollar SELL and 708 pesos to the dollar BUY.

That was an expensive lesson for me and my client!
