Elston Kedzie Currency Exchange

I realize working at a currency exchange isn’t glamorous but this place is ridiculous. Drive an extra 10 – 20 minutes to any other currency exchange in the city. You will NOT regret it.

HORRIBLE!!!
Awful attitudes, poor service, and rediclous fees!
Same as previous review, I understand they need to charge a fee for services, but Not for City of Chicago stickers.
$ 5 for them providing poor CS!
Oh… please.

LOVE This Currency! Yea Don’t Get Me Wrong Sometimes There’s A Wait But You Got To Deal With Practically Anywhere. Its Very Clean And You Can Tell There Very Organized, After Going To The Currency On Milwaukee And California Which Totally Sucked Because Not Only Could They Not Cash My «Wells Fargo» Check But It Was Very Dirty And Looked Very Unorganized Not To Mention The Girls Were Very Rude! Made Me Really Appreciate This Currency.

The WORST Currency Exchange out there. Waited an HOUR to be seen (you can only fit 10 people in there). Then the girl tried to tell us we could not buy a Chicago City Sticker, we needed proof of the ownership, the title, etc. So let me ask you: *WHY* would anyone want to buy a city sticker and pay money for a car that isn’t theirs… I pointed out it said on the notice on her window that proof of insurance with the car VIN number was sufficient. She responded in a surly uninterested manner, «Does it say that applies to temporary plates?». I said, no it doesn’t talk about plates because they aren’t relevant — as your website states. Nope, she said I needed the title. I told her it was a new car and therefore you wait a month or two until you get a title.
We then asked her to add my husband to my already existing electricity account. She took our IDs etc and came back and said, well it wouldn’t let me so I created a whole new account under his name…
We then wanted to change 20 British Pounds into $ 30 and were told we needed to open an account and provide social security numbers and be approved…
We left!
After wasting all this time, we went to the currency exchange on Lawrence and Ashland. We did not have to wait at all. The lady smiled and was efficient and fast. They gave us our city sticker with a smile, explained how the electricity was now messed up and we just had to call ComEd to get it back in order, and exchanged our 20 pounds without any questions.
The moral of this story is:
1. «Never argue with a fool; onlookers may not be able to tell the difference.»
2. Go to Lawrence and Western, or any other exchange, and ensure your day stays pleasant and successful.
