Re: Age verification
If you state what the issue is, senior reps may respond
’You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.’

Re: Age verification
If I may jump to conclusions: AV item + request for a senior rep = (alleged to have) delivered one without following the process.
Any Questions?
Yeah, how do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?

I noticed Amazon age verification items (bottles of booze obviously) abandoned in communal area of a multiple address location.

Re: Age verification
These damn things are embarrassing, if they look over 25 you shouldn’t have to ask for their year of birth. Had an irate one today who runs a business from home, firstly saying FFS when I asked for the year of birth, then “FFS don’t they know I’ve got work to do” when I asked for a signature and photo.

Re: Age verification
I personally think that if the item requires that level of verification, it shouldn’t be available to purchase online. You should have to get off your backside and take your ID to a shop to purchase it.SMS1969 wrote: ↑20 Dec 2025, 18:55These damn things are embarrassing, if they look over 25 you shouldn’t have to ask for their year of birth.

Re: Age verification
Some of ours would have turned straight round and said fine, forget it, you'll have to come and collect it from the delivery office, they don't take s**t from anyone.SMS1969 wrote: ↑20 Dec 2025, 18:55These damn things are embarrassing, if they look over 25 you shouldn’t have to ask for their year of birth.

Re: Age verification
Yeah the person wasn’t annoyed at me, just annoyed at the process. Had a grin about it as I went back to the van.ted_e_bear wrote: ↑20 Dec 2025, 19:23Some of ours would have turned straight round and said fine, forget it, you'll have to come and collect it from the delivery office, they don't take s**t from anyone.SMS1969 wrote: ↑20 Dec 2025, 18:55These damn things are embarrassing, if they look over 25 you shouldn’t have to ask for their year of birth.

Re: Age verification
I had an Amazon one left on doorstep for me when I got home the other day, clearly Amazon are not as concerned as RM are regarding these, not that I have a problem doing them to be honest.yellowbelly wrote: ↑20 Dec 2025, 17:42I noticed Amazon age verification items (bottles of booze obviously) abandoned in communal area of a multiple address location.

Re: Age verification
We have had a few toldnoff for using the same year all the time.
Managers know everyone signs for them, they just want us to make sure we use different years so looks OK to the people checking

But where would the economy be if we didn't facilitate everyone's laziness?
Any Questions?
