I was a bit afraid when I read stories of people waiting months to get there cards. So I had to get a replacement card Debit because my was expired. I call the bank they sent it expedient normally would take two days in the US. They sent it to my address in Brazil it arrived in 5 business days. After reading the other experience I was pleasantly surprised. Don’t know if this is normal but it did work well for me. This was two week ago October 2 order it received on the 9 2018 there was a weekend in between.

Glad that it worked for you.
I use a mail forwarding service for all my US mail, so the situation never arises for me.

What mail service do you use and what did it cost to send the card to you. Thank for your reply

US Global Mail works for me. They can scan and send and trash. They will notify you when mail arrives. Never had an issue with cards, but use overnight 3-6 days) option
