I got the email today, I've been buying from them since 2012 so maybe it's not an issue. I'm listed as Default Customer Group and just had to add my date of birth under manage personal data.
If I have to supply ID at creme de cloud 9 or anywhere else I think a scanned and censored version of my paper driving licence would do it. I'm one of those rare folks who doesn't actually have a photo ID drivers licence, I'm holding off as long as possible.
I'm quite happy to send proof of age/ID via email photo copy, if required, doesn't bother me in the slightest.
So? With that in mind I'm quite happy to buy stuff on other apes behalf, then forward the stuff, but, of course, with a 15% service charge added.
or are you going to ask for proof of age.
