Has anyone heard of not getting a debit card in the mail from their bank, because the bank doesn’t allow it?

I heard that there is a barcode that is on envelopes containing debit cards; if it is first class mail, could it still be forwarded?
If you were moving and forwarded your mail, and your bank was sending you a new card in the mail (to your old address), via first class mail. I was told the bank would not allow for forwarding. USPS said it would get forwarded, bank said no.

There is no ‘bar code’ on envelopes, but most cards come in an envelope stating ‘Postmaster: please do not forward”.
Some banks do refuse to send card by mail to avoid the risk of fraud.

Typically banks won’t send to PO boxes but insist on house addresses. They also do not allow forwarding. This is to prevent theft.
I’ve never heard of a bank refusing to mail a debit card. That’s normally the only way you do get them.
