I was due to get a replacement card on the third via ups via overbite express delivery at $17.50 according to ups the last time it was scanned was the morning of the 3rd out for delivery meaning it

So, nothing happened after that. I was not able to talk to a person to let them know that I could not access my account.

It's like I was lost in space.

I need a backdoor way to get a live person at Direct Express, since I can't report my card as lost, missing, or stolen. Please, give me a number that I can call and talk to a live person.
