sending bank credit cards / ATM cards fedex UK to Canada

Post by uwave » Sat May 30, 2015 9:04 pm

I am going to travel from UK to Canada soon.

Is it safe to send bank credit cards / ATM cards by fedex from UK to Canada? I am thinking of putting then in an RFID shielded envelope so their data cannot be read.

Am I being too cautious / wrong headed to be entrusting some of my documents to FEDEX? If the postal service thinks I have bank cards / health cards / drivers licence in the fedex envelope, would that cause me any problems or is it within the normal range of what is acceptable?

Or you could just put them in your wallet or purse unless there is something strange about them or they don't belong to you :shock:

Strangely, that thought crossed my mind too! :?

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

As soon as you let your property out of sight, you no longer have the ability to make sure they don't get used/abused/copied/whatever.

I wouldn't do it.
