To send a Visa gift card via mail, you'll need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Purchase the Visa gift card
You can buy a Visa gift card from various retailers, both online and in-store. Make sure to purchase a physical card, as digital gift cards cannot be mailed.

- The gift card's expiration date (if applicable)
- The gift card's balance (if you're sending a partially used card)
Step 3: Package the gift card securely
Place the Visa gift card in a sturdy envelope or package to prevent damage during transit. You can also add a personalized note or card to make it a more thoughtful gift.
Step 4: Choose a mailing option
Select a mailing service that suits your needs and budget. You can use:

Attach a mailing label to the envelope or package with the following information:
- Recipient's name and address
- Your name and address (as the sender)
- The weight and dimensions of the package
- Any relevant handling instructions (e.g., "Fragile" or "Do Not Bend")
Step 6: Send the gift card
Drop off the package at a USPS, UPS, or FedEx location, or schedule a pickup from your home or office. Make sure to keep a record of the tracking number and mailing details for your reference.
Tips and considerations
- Make sure the gift card is properly packaged to prevent damage or loss during transit.
