I've not actually used Travelex, but have used the site to track the rates.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but does anyone know if i would be better off getting money exchanged before I go Dublin next week or would it make no difference if i just got cash out whilst i'm there

Depends on the exchange rate your bank give you on the day mate. I was in southern ireland recently and when I withdrew money I didn't get the best rate plus got charged for making a withdrawel while in another country.
As for Turkey, my reccomendation is to change money up out there. The Turks love the pound and you get a much better rate on the high streets out there.

TheMoneyShop offered me the best rate, they'll even match any rate that elsewhere is offering - and you get up to 4 weeks to change the currency back at the same rate you purchased them at.

Thats why i was going to see if the other one was a larger company and had other outlets
Doing deals would involve sending money in the post which is risky! otherwise I'd open up a middleman service
