Nucky Thompson Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Saw a good deal for a decent wine on Amazon so bought 12 bottles. Delivered in 2 days, all fairly efficient. The driver delivered it today, but asked me for ID. I asked him if he was having a laugh as I'm 54 years old. He had me flapping around looking for photo ID I was ready just to tell him to feck off and ram it, but I managed to keep my cool. I would understand it if my son had answered the door Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glottis Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I had some alcohol delivered today. I wasn't in to ID so they didn't deliver. Thankfully they came back about 7 when I was in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartsfc_fan Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Had a similar experience with Amazon. Driver actually looked a bit embarrassed to ask but I guess it's company policy. I got my Beer52 monthly sub and the box tends to get left in the door step and the driver is back in the van before I actually come to the door. Obviously don't care 😂 Can get beers from a local takeaway and the driver's don't care to ask for ID either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a surprise, so when the lad asked for ID I thought it a bit odd. Apparently they cannot release the parcel until they scan the ID, nothing to do with your youthful countenance, sadly It must just be an Amazon policy. I got 3 bottles of Whitely Neil Gin delivered from the drop store last week, no hassle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 It is indeed Amazon company policy. Drivers have to ask for ID regardless of the age of the person. Common sense should prevail but delivery drivers have lost their jobs in the past from Amazon as they've handed over parcels without asking for ID. Heard of a story where the driver was delivering a kids set of plastic cutlery and had to ask for ID as it contained a blade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William H. Bonney Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 When I vaped I had to provide id to the Amazon delivery guy for my oils. Had to give id today for a package that contained a Stanley knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redjambo Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Thems the rules with Amazon (my Mum in her 80s was asked for ID for some alcohol that they delivered). Please don't take it out on the drivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GinRummy Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) They don’t do it all the time. I like to buy Stolly vodka from Amazon and some ask for ID while others ask for your DOB. A guy just before Xmas, stood back, asked me to put my passport on the step and take a few steps back so he could look at it. Understandable I suppose but felt a bit ridiculous.

Tommy Brown Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Confession time: Came home from work to find a Laithewaites box of wine (24 bottles) under my patio table. Deilivered in error obviously. I remains intact in my spare room (just never get round to dealing with it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¼½¾ Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 Had some cider delivered by Amazon today. The guy asked for ID and I showed him my driving licence. He didn't look closely enough at it to read any details, just asked me my DOB and first name. (12 bottles Henry Weston's Vintage for £16.25. Cracking price.)
