How does amazon know whats in your package?

Can they tell if its a vape pen?

Yes, they are age restricted. The box even says the product contains nicotine which is bull**** but the law.

I ordered an age restricted item and im wondering if im amazon actually checks id and if they do how do they know whats in the package?

The driver does not know what's in your package unless it's in manufacturer packaging.

Nevertheless, the driver app indicates when a package is age restricted or not, and requires the driver to check your ID and enter your date of birth into the app.

If they fail to do this, they can (and frequently do) lose their job.

The Amazon website makes it clear when an item is age restricted. If you ordered knowing fine well you weren't old enough, that's your fault, not the driver's.

Amazon packs the items so they know whats going in the package if its a knife or a taser etc and you are under 18 you wont get the items you have to show ID if its a taser Amazon will report it to the police as tasers are not allowed in the uk if its a Sex Toy you will get it as its not against the law to own a sex toy under the age of 18

There have been a lot of similar threads about this topic recently.

As I posted elsewhere, yes, we were asked for ID to take receipt of a pumpkin carving kit, (small blades). The packages with age restricted items are labelled as such, so the driver knows which ones need ID'ing.

This use to be a massive pain in the backside when I worked in the cards industry. It seemed like every other merchant was quite happy to hand over booze to whoever answered the door. I think things are a lot better now.

Amazon can (and frequently do) restrict item sales as a matter of policy rather than law.

Furthermore.. a taser wouldn't be listed for sale :facepalm:

But what if its a vape with no nicotine

if the listing says they will check ID on delivery, then you can assume that's what they'll do

Amazon will report you to the police for an item they themselves sold you? Just think about that for a second...

The pens themselves are also age restricted.

Yeah, most of his posts are like that unfortunately. I really wish he was trolling, but looks like he's being serious.
