Do I need to show ID to buy age-restricted items?It’s important to make sure that age-restricted items (alcohol, tobacco) don’t make it into the hands of minors. For this reason, we may ask for a customer’s date of birth if an age-restricted item goes into their order basket.

This means all customers, whatever their age, will be asked by the courier on delivery to provide identification showing proof of age to receive age-restricted items. Couriers do not need to take a photo of the customer’s ID. Our couriers are subject to data protection obligations and will only have access to limited customer information required for delivery. We also ensure that our couriers receive guidance on keeping customer personal data safe. To meet industry and legal standards, couriers will ask customers for accepted forms of identification (passport, driving license, identity card). Information on ID verification for age-restricted items is also set out in our customer Privacy Policy (Information We Collect From You), as well as in our customer Terms and Conditions (Age Restricted and Regulated Products).
