Ordered my card at the end of the day Tuesday and it arrived today, sealed with the sticker over it and sufficiently sealed.
It’s a nice card. It reminds me of Pearl Jam’s self-titled album cover.

Mine came last week, already opened of course; I asked live chat for a replacement which arrived this morning and that too was already opened! 
I feel bad for the waste of asking for yet another one that will probably turn up already opened too but don’t want to risk it.
It could be they asked for a replacement before the new “security fix” was in place, it just took a long time for it to get from the card issuer to them?
Either way, ask for another.

Aye, I asked for first replacement 18th July so probably bad timing

I don’t envy the person sticking on the stickers. 
I imagine it’s automated though.

They are packed by hand.
Nearly guarantee that isn’t automated

Used to work for mailing houses, suspect enveloping is automated but stickers are Manual.

That makes sense. And apparently some have a little spritz of fragrance too.
that’s what I was referring to, the sticker
Received my card today.
No sticker. Not opened.
I think it is using the smaller business plus envelope.
White envelope. Ooh la la… Inside.
Card tucked in nicely.
Ooh white card*! That’s a change from the dark blue!
Whoops, meant card not envelope

My second card has arrived, and the envelope is nicely sealed. White envelope and navy cardboard insert.
I’ve successfully activated it. However, I’m struggling to add it to Apple Pay. I keep getting an error. Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
Actually, I couldn’t set it up with the TestFlight version of the app, do downloaded the App Store version, and it worked fine.
With all these reports of people’s envelopes opened I’m starting to think what mine is going to turn up like … why didn’t they just use the normal blue envelopes? Surely if it’s not broken don’t change it! After all the envelopes only go in the recycling bin / shredder - so really don’t get why they had to change the packaging?
The card itself is what we all care about 
The annual report stated they were now making savings wherever possible. The blue envelopes were custom bought if I remember right. Plain white is much cheaper.

Ahh good point, OK maybe use the same design as the old ones (blue ones) but white instead 
No way that will be it.
They would have been making savings long before they decided on the colour of envelope.
White ones were going out for business customers and they weren’t causing issues, so they have switched to those. Nothing to do with cost savings.

If you already have a Monzo card in Apple Wallet, check the number on it as mine updated automatically. However, the picture didn’t. I had to delete the card and re-add it.
