A question about buying alcohol online

[nboy22]

I know they're sure to do it.. but how do they verify the age of the person they are shipping to? I was thinking about this cause at www.woot.com they are selling some wine.

I was looking at the same thing and wondering the same thing myself.

 

[nboy22]

nobody knows?

It isn't wine, it is Mead.
And it is delivered by an ATF agent who arrests you if you are under age.

oh ok. Mead it is, I don't know the difference 😉 I'm a beer person and haven't even bothered to buy a bottle of wine/mead myself.

They can probably check it against your CC record.

I was thinking this is the method they used but I'm not sure how much debit/credit information was readily available to an online business.

It is very simple. UPS/FEDEX require a signature of someone over 21 to deliver it.

Back in the day, my friends and i would call the local beer barn and have them deliver it to my house. We left the SAME note on the door that said, My daughter called, i had to pick her up from dance class, please go around back, there is an enevlope with a 20 in it, keep the change. Thanks man...


Never failed.

I know.. I wasn't worried about ordering it myself cause I'm just about to turn 20 myself.. but I was just wondering what kind of protection they have against people ordered it while underaged.

I would guess the can verify with your credit card.
