Age Verification Policy

Age Verification Policy

Our Age Verification Policy

Knives or any bladed items, Crossbows and all Crossbow accessories can only be purchased by a person aged 18 or over.

Here at Preppers Shop UK we have a very strict policy on age verification. Governed by the Offensive Weapons Act 2021 we follow thorough guidelines on how to conduct age verification.

It is a legal requirement that we see a form of ID when conducting the age verification process, this can either be a birth certificate, passport or driving licence. If the address on the document provided does not match the shipping or billing details of the order, we will need to see a utility bill or official letter that shows the name and address that matches the one on the order.

ID needs to be provided prior to the order being dispatched, if no verification of age is provided then the order will not be dispatched.

Failed ID Policy

The name on the ID must match the one on the order. If someone else's ID is used or a false ID is provided, this will be reported to the police, as this is illegal and will not be tolerated from the shop. The customer will also have a permanent ban from shopping with us.

For any failed ID's, this includes purchasing an age restricted product under the age of 18, buying one of these products on behalf of another individual under the age of 18, using a fake ID or using someone else's ID a £4.95 admin fee will be taken to cover the time and expense we have incurred.
