My uk bank has sent my new debit card to my daughterin the uk as usual but the old one doesnt expire until January any ideas as to how to get it here? Given the situation at the moment. My friends normally bring it for me but they cannot come. My current one is still working at the moment.

I would suggest an entrusted private courier which will cost however, ask your bank to do the posting with a special code to activate when successfully received.

I advise that you ask your daughter to contact the bank. Cancel the one that she has and ask the bank to send it to you by post. Hopefully you have a PO Box? All docs from my Hsbc bank arrive probably because they are official!! Other mail doesn’t! But never had a problem with bank mail! Even if there were times I would rather have not received it🤨🤨. Hope that helps.

KC, we're more or less the same (but not 100%) Mail in a brown envelopes which looks "Official" including cheque in over paid tax seems to get through. Although we did have a problem with one official organisation which would not post to a PO Box.

He does need to get periodic PCR tests in order to go back and forth, but will usually pick up several items at once in order to split the cost - likely to be £20 per person or something of that order.

Probably cheaper than DHL, and worth every penny if it's something that you are desperate for!
