When ordering certain things, do they actually CHECK if you're a minor?

Or is it like porno sites and it's just a CYA move? I'm planning on purchasing certain items from a website, however it states that you must be over 18 to purchase. I'm curious if they'll actually scan my credit card though, because if so, I won't try.

as long as your CC is good you wont have a problem... it's all done electronically and no one is going to see it... if the card has a prob then it will spit up an error and then it needs human attention...

actually it depends on the site... i've never heard of a paraphanaliea site checking to verify someone's age...

however, i know most airgun sites require an adult signature upon delivery.

Well if it's a gun what would anyone expect??? Chances of being carded at a bong site are prettymuch nonexistant...

[slipknotpsycho]

it's only a bb gun tho... lol they even card you for paintball guns.. WTF? honestly... they are made purposely to shoot people with.. they're designed to hurt, so there's motive to not get shot... but also designed to not pose serious injury or death... unless someone's stupid enough to go paintballing without a mask (any paintball courses require them btw) or shoot themselves in the mouth with a paintball, there's no real danger...

Paintballing on the freeway could be bad...

to anyone who did that.. well just let me say natural selection strikes again.

i buy my cigarettes off the internet, cause its cheaper, and they card me when they get delivered, but ive got a fake id. i had a bowl delivered, and nothing happened.

Well, the deal was I ordered some things from IAMSHAMAN (NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION ;) ).

It let me ordered, but y'all were right, it will require someone over 18 to sign for it. That should be cool though, cuz I actually did get incense with it, so my dad will prolly do it, and I can just say I wanted to get some 'authentic' incense.

So yea, thanks for reminding me about the sign for delivery thing.

I don't exactly know if you will be carded at the door,,,I think the UPS or Fedex person will just accept a sgniture... Could be cause I am old but,,,I was never asked... I think the exact policy will be noted on the site of purchase,,,some times it just reads a signature is required...

[slipknotpsycho]

iamshaman didn't require me to sign for it (i was 20 when it was order so i easily could have) but the point is they didn't require it.... ups guy came, and just handed me the box...

i probably ordered the same 'inscense' lol.... becareful with it now... don't underestimate it cuz it's semi legal atm...

I had safeway.com deliever a bunch of groceries to me once... included was two bottles of ketel one vodka and a carton of smokes and they didn't card shit... but it wouldnt have mattered anyways I was 25 at the time.

I've ordered a bowl online, and even put my DoB saying I was 16 and they still delivered it. No worries.
