ok thank you for reply

[stevewool]

thats ok you could use the post too but i would not

Ok, I see 3 options....

( 1) If there is only a tiny amount of money, hindi meshado ng pera ... then, just send it by normal mail. It may or may not get there, take 2-3 weeks.

(2) If there is a little bit of money, more than £10-£15 .... and less than about £60, send it by registered mail, but it's stil unsafe after it leaves UK.


(3) If it's really important and has more than about £60 or £70 in it, send it by DHL or ultra important trackable Royal Mail - I think DHL's a the cheapest, but with Royal Mail it's £56 and gets there in less than a week.

Glad I could be of assistance

Also, don't tell the post office or courier what it is, obviously 1 because of the security issue, but also for whatever reason a lot of them won't accept activated credit/debit cards.

That's a good point.

What they don't know won't hurt them

I wanted to send a cash card via DHL and made the mistake of telling them what it was. They wouldn't let me send it then :-(

Sent it by ParcelForce though and told them it was just a letter as the card was in the middle of folded paper! It got there fine!

I have sent CASH and DEBIT cards to Thailand and to Phil. On each occasion, I used an old 'junk mail' envelope, which had printing, which made it appear that it was junk mails, maybe advertising houses. I then made sure the packing around the card was thick enough so that a person feeling the envelope would not be able to feel there was a card. Once I cut out a card sized hole in a piece of cardboard which as the same thickness as the ATM card. I then sellotape the card into the hole and posted in ordinary mail.

And lastly, I made sure there were no funds in that account.

I of course called the person in Thailand / Phil to tell them the PIN.

So far !!!!!!! No problems
