Anybody had a replacement debit card sent to your address in Gua? I am needing a replacement as mine runs out in Oct.

How to do it?

Thanks,

i would do certified mail (or something similar) to the post office or fedex if you are near an office.

My experience with this is that they want you to answer your home phone to [open[ the card? No?

I had mine sent here through a company in Los Angeles, to activate the card I've done it by calling the card issuer from Guatemala using my cell phone. They will want some personal info, maybe your social security number, current address in the US.. also. No problem really, just say you are travelling.

DSL Shipping Service....if you don't have a deliverable address in Guatemala, just ask that it be sent to the Antigua office then when you go to pick up the packet take your passport for ID verification. We have done this several times. And as Art says, you can then call to activate.

Thanks for the help.

Latina, Is DSL the most economical shipping? Would US Premium service(US PO) do as well?

#3 How did you get them to send it. Pay Pal says it will only send to my home address. I have no physical home in the US. Get mail through good friend who secretaries my stuff. Maybe I will have to have him re-mail to GUA.

DOn't play games here.

Have it sent to your friend.

Have your friend Fed-Ex it to you.

It will cost about $30 but you WILL have it in 2 business days.

UPS or DHL would be OK too.

Don't mess around with US Postal service for this. Spend the $30.
