Is it worth it to wait 2 weeks and like also the possible additional costs with shipping and all that? I would not buy voucher either way cuz I don't like amazon.

Also, how did you buy it if you have?

Define "worth it." I think Mullvad is a tad expensive but for protection while surfing the web it's a good service. And the fact that they take mail-in cash is unique.

You can just look for a pre-paid credit card wherever you are. You may have to sacrifice your name and number but you don't have to wrestle with the post office.
