    No it shouldn't. Both forms are grammatically correct but "Dziękuję bardzo" is a more frequent collocation than "Bardzo dziękuję." Losing touch with your mother tongue already? ;)

    Wow what have I started. I make my polish family laugh when I speak (try) to speak to them in polish! They always seem to understand though.

    Not exactly :)

    You have right that both are grammatically correct but in polish language the word "Bardzo" usually are present before verbs like: Bardzo proszę, bardzo chciał etc.

    Also important is how is your body language present but sometimes when you say "Dziękuję... bardzo" sentence can look like a mockery, so better use "Bardzo dziękuję" :)

    Apparently the position of the adverb "bardzo" in polite forms tends to be after the verb rather than before it.

    "Przysłówek w polskim zdaniu może zajmować różne pozycje – ma to związek z hierarchią przekazywanych treści. Słowo bardzo zwykle stoi przed czasownikiem, por. „Jeśli będziesz bardzo chciał...” raczej niż: „Jeśli będziesz chciał bardzo...”. Jednak w konwencjonalnych zwrotach grzecznościowych bardzo częściej występuje po czasowniku: proszę bardzo, dziękuję bardzo. Konstrukcje o odwrotnym szyku – przez to, że rzadsze – zwracają na siebie uwagę i mogą być znakiem tego, że mówiący stara się być szczególnie uprzejmy. Z tego, że ktoś mówi np. proszę bardzo, a nie bardzo proszę, nie należy jednak wyciągać wniosku, że jest mało uprzejmy. Wiele zależy od tego, co nie wyrażone w słowach, np. od spojrzenia, gestu, tonu wypowiedzi.

    — Mirosław Bańko"
    (from HERE)

    Of course that doesn't change the fact that in Polish, which is a language whose sentence structure is not as fixed as in English, you can be understood perfectly even if you change the word order. Like I said, it's all about which form is more common. And here that's definitely "dziękuję bardzo"
