I've never had to upload my ID for Element and have been ordering from them for a couple+ years. But if there are policy changes that require it, I'm with you. No, I will not compromise my identity to that extent, and will pursue other options or go without before I'll do that. The last four of your social is bad enough, but I'll disclose no more than that.
I do not give out any personal info to buy something on the net beyond name, address and CC info.I'm the opposite and refuse to divulge any numbers from my SSN - guess we are all different from what we consider an intrusion
You can block out your DLN on your ID when verifying your age
This isn't aimed at you specifically, just as general info
The trouble is- all vape vendors are required to verify your age - and if they do not are courting trouble with the FDA and possibly state authorities depending on where they are located
I do not give out any personal info to buy something on the net beyond name, address and CC info.
If they want it I do not buy from there.
Plus it is damned inconvenient for those of us that do not use 'smart' phones.
and most places only ask for it after they have all your other info including CC info.
Damned sneaky of them if you ask me.
The sneaky part was not warning up front and waiting till you had all your info in there including payment method.Sometimes they cannot verify your age through public records they can see which are associated with your payment method - I don't see it as sneaky - inconvenient and off putting, very
How else do you propose they keep underage kids from ordering Juuls and running afoul of the FDA?
I don't agree with it but see it as less intrusive than those bastards that were demanding our SSN numbers after 8/16
Ohh I got the charger...Did you get the charger, or a refund? That's weird and sucks at the same time.
Happened with Lightning Vapes for me, and it was a charger too. I closed the page, ignored email links to upload ID, then wudda ya know, my next email was for verification of shipment.The sneaky part was not warning up front and waiting till you had all your info in there including payment method.
And no option to cancel order if you do not want to submit a photo ID.
I ordered a battery charger a while back to replace one given to grandson.
I did not do the photo ID thing and just dropped out with no way to cancel order.
The order still went thru...
I would have to check back to see who it was with, not Element vape though.
I placed an order with Element on Friday the 11th and had no issues at all.
That’s odd.... maybe because you’ve ordered from them a million times before?
LolJust send something like this and be done
