Can I send a bank card?

Can I send a bank card through a parcel service provider from UK to Colombia? I know you are not supposed to send money - and if I have to disguise it in a padded envelope whqat should I declare it as? A small parcel of jewellery?

Send it Fedex Why not send it Fedex? You can track the package and the bank or credit card account online. Call the receiving person as soon as you see that the delivery has been made to verify delivery.

If you see use of the bank card before that time, cancel the card and report the fraud usage.

Yes... ...my wife and I have done it. But wouldn't want to do it very often. Can't be entirely safe.

We used FedEx and there was no problem. Easier to trace and keep track of. Rather than send it to a home address we sent it to an office address. We did place the card in a lead lined envelope. Didn't want to risk the card becoming useless in transition. You can purchase the envelope at most FedEx offices.
