Re. Order 415583
Dear Appinpar
Thank you for your order ref 415583
One or more of the products on your order requires the purchaser to be over the age of 18. It is a legal requirement for us to obtain proof of age when selling 'restricted products' to customers.
To proceed with the dispatch of your order we require a form of identification from the list below;
Current valid passport
Current valid full driving licence
Current national identity card
Shotgun Certificate
Firearms Licence
If you wish us to proceed with this order please fax 01603 619849 or email attachments54@****mail.com a copy of the required ID to us and we will dispatch your order without delay. (For future orders it will not be necessary to repeat this process).
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but trust you are happy to assist us in complying with the law.
Kind regards,
Since when did pellets become a restricted item, requiring ID, or a firearms certificate. the fact I paid by Credit card seems lost on them!that i am obviously over 18
will be going elewhere - anyone know of any other companies that enforce their own legislation on things like this

A couple of points:
A shop may impose what ever restrictions they see fit.
You can get prepaid "credit-cards" under 18 years of age.
If you don't like it, tough shit. It's their shop and their rules. Why not grow up and send them the info they want or piss off and go elsewhere. It's quite simple.
i suppose they can impose what rules they like,but you would think that they would mention proof of age at time of sale.simple

Click on know your law (first link)
"It is illegal to sell an air weapon or ammunition to a person under 18 years of age."
Far too many guns to mention here. Lets just say more then the wife knows about but still less then I would like
Just live with; I have to do.
It's a pain.
Easily led
Whilst it is a PITA, it is only them complying with the law.
It's not the end of the world to send them a copy of one form of ID and then it will be attached to your account and you'll never have the problem again.
Get it sent and get over it. The chances are the next time you order from JSR you'll have the same thing. Or should have.

Don't knock it, I love to be asked if I am over 18, especially at a real live checkout. I think I became this way when I reached 40, back in '92
Always handy to have a copy of your driving liscence,or passport stored already on your pc,i have,but never needed it....i must just give the impression i am old,or sound old
Why are a lot of internet sellers haappy for you to tick a box,but others are not.
