Yesterday, "Hello,
We’re contacting you to advise that your order: **************** requires an adult aged 18 or over to be available to accept the delivery.
A valid photographic ID will need to be shown to the driver on delivery, along with a signature. This is an additional measure to ensure our age verification requirements are adhered to by Amazon.
By sharing your ID, you are helping us to ensure items that are intended for people over 18 end up in the right hands.
Due to the importance of verifying age when delivering these products, age restricted items can only be delivered to the customer’s address, they cannot be delivered to a neighbour’s address or left in a safe place. In addition, they can’t be delivered to a locker or Pickup Point.
If an adult over the age 18 is not available at the address, or if an adult has not been able to show valid photo identification, the item will be returned to Amazon for re-delivery the following day. If your order is being delivered to a commercial address or residential apartment block, the receptionist, concierge or mailroom attendant receiving your parcel will need to provide a valid ID, showing they are aged 18 or over. If they can’t, the parcel will be returned to Amazon for re-delivery the following day.
List of acceptable photo identification:
• A passport
• A European Union (photo card) driving licence
• Ministry of Defence Form 90 (a defence identity card issued to serving military)
• National Identity card issued by European Union Member State (other than the United Kingdom), and Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Switzerland
• A biometric immigration document (issued by The Home Office to individuals going through different stages of the immigration process as a residence permit.).
• A photographic identity card bearing a national Proof of Age Standard Scheme (PASS) hologram
Today, "Your package with Chef Knife, PAUDIN 8 Inch... and 4 more items will be delivered today.
If you want us to leave the package unattended, please provide delivery instructions for the driver."
Why TF wasn't the driver allowed to leave the package in the normal place (we have a meter cupboard that he usually leaves packages in if we're out and the keys with the request card were in/on the door as usual yesterday.) yesterday? PITA for him as much as for us, although we've altered our plans for today to make sure we are in to sign for the thing.
ETA that because we were in for the redelivery, the chap needed to see proof of age ID but had we been out, he could have left it in the cupboard... And the knife is lovely - well balanced, sharp and looks great - Damascus blade with pakkawood handle.
