Bookings can be made via telephone, by calling the freephone number +1 829 200 8599, or on our website: http://www.globocambio.com/. Bookings through the website can be made in Spanish or English.

Only certain currencies are kept in physical stock, and so bookings can only be made for those available. An estimated time of collection depending on the availability and the place of collection will be given on the website for each currency request.

In any case, the customer must provide a valid identification card, as well as an email address and telephone number to enable Globo Cambio to contact him/her and duly deliver the booking.

Bookings may be subject to a maximum value per calendar month, quarter and year.

2. EXCHANGE RATE, FEES AND EXPENSES.

When placing a booking for in-branch collection, you will be informed by telephone or online about the estimated exchange rate (price), which is variable depending on the chosen collection branch, fees and expenses. The booking will be paid in the indicated branch on the day of collection.

It should be borne in mind that entities authorised to exchange currencies are not obliged to apply official exchange rates and may apply a commercial margin and/or fee.

The amount of the booking will be paid in full, in cash or by card, if this means of payment is enabled, in the chosen branch on the day selected by the user.

Once you have placed a booking for in-branch collection and after we have accepted it, you will receive a confirmation email with the details of the transaction specifying: the approximate price, additional expenses, the method of payment, the collection address and day and time slot for collection.

In the event that the booking is not accepted by the user, no liability will arise for the user.

5. BOOKING COLLECTIONS.

The booking will be available to pick-up in the branch and on the day indicated in the confirmation email.

The booking will be delivered only to the person who made it, and so the customer must provide a valid ID.
