Age verification data storage and use by RM

[menditsa]

Just mark the parcel refused and inform your manager, there's always the risk they they are one of the mystery customers RM use trying to catch posties out. Even if they are a genuine customer just being awkward they could be the sort to complain if you put in an incorrect DOB, then you've got to give some kind of explanation to your manager.

Am I correct in the assumption we veryify the age of the person receiving the package which may not be the named person on package ?

Ask if said person on the address label is at home, if not then return to the DO. Brilliant eh?

Management have told us only deliver to the person on the packet.

That's absolutely incorrect, see this link to the official royal mail policy that someone posted earlier in this thread.

That’s rubbish then, as you have the option on the PDA to deliver to a neighbour. I did just that yesterday.

Doesn't that defeat the whole point of the exercise?

Someone within the household taking delivery of alcohol/knives has to be over 18/25 and therefore 1) responsible for their own potentially harmful actions they may commit with the item they have purchased or 2) responsible for the actions of a minor under their care who has ordered the item which they then intercept.

Delivering AV to a neighbour is like buying booze or fags for kids hanging outside the off-licence.

No.
Delivering AV to a neighbour is like buying booze or fags for another adult outside an off-licence.

The whole point of the exercise is to absolve RM from any corporate responsibility for any resulting harmful actions. They don't give a monkeys if something happens once the responsibility has been offloaded to another party.

If the PDA gives me the option to deliver to a neighbour I’ll do just that, it gets rid of it so less work the next day.

How does it, those kids are waiting for a mug to buy them, we're simply delivering the booze or fags to the neighbour and asking him to pass it to their neighbour when they get home. It'll be a bit unlucky if the neighbour turns out to be a mad knifeman, although the person you were delivering to could be one anyway,

Don't forget the recipient has to opt out rather than opt in with delivery to neighbour lol.
The amount of massive notes pinned and super glued to front doors about no delivery to neighbours is ridiculous.

Can someone else over 18 accept my parcel?
Yes- an age-restricted item delivered by Royal Mail can be delivered to another adult over the age of 18 at the same address.

You can also nominate a neighbour who's over 18 to receive your parcel for you - they will need to show proof of age.

Delivery to neighbour is still an opt out though, unless you get recipients trying to assault you for knocking on their neighbours door.
