Malaysia Ringgit - case of false advertising?

I was off to the local bank to exchange Aus dollars to Malaysia Ringgit at an exchange rate of 2.63. your site had the Travelex rate published as the best rate at over 2.7 (2.72 I think?).

So, I travelled further to get to the nearest Travelex and queued for 30 mins ….. to get a rate of 2.48!! plus the normal commission.
