The sale of knives and articles with a blade or point, solvents and other items are subject to age restrictions. Because of this, certain items across our store will only be sold to persons over the age of 18 and will be subject to an age verification check.

By placing an order for one of these items you are declaring that you are 18 years of age or over. These items must be used responsibly and appropriately.

Upon placing an order for one of these items we will require you to submit proof of your age via a scan or photograph of one of the documents listed below before we can dispatch your order. This proof of age will be stored against your account so future purchases will not require repeated checks.

 

Please reply to your order confirmation email with the scan or photograph (which must be clearly legible) so that we can continue to process your order.

Delivery of age restricted items can only be delivered to the person who completed the verification check at the address on the shipping label, but this can include the reception of a commercial building. An adult must receive the goods.

Acceptable forms of ID which must include a photograph to prove you are over 18 include:

- A photo driving licence
- A passport
- A proof of age card, such as the PASS card from the national Proof of Age Standards Scheme.

Whilst we appreciate these checks may be frustrating please bear in mind we are only trying to protect children.

If you have any questions please contact our Customer Care team
