I just tried to order from AIM Surplus and received an email stating that I must send them a copy of my drivers license in order for them to create an account and process the order.
Is this normal for AIM S.? Called and woman on the phone stated that they make all customers who purchase ammo send in a copy of their ID. Is this correct? Of all the online ammo purchases I have ever made, I have never had a company request a copy of my DL. Thanks! |

Try ordering a 7 pack of lowers some time from them... tried to order a handful so my buddies and I could save on shipping. They called to ask the names of everyone that would be getting the lowers transferred to them, I told them it was not their concern just ship them to my FFL and he would do the paperwork. They said it would 'aid in ATF compliance.'
I ended up buying lowers from somebody else. The ID for ammo thing doesn't bother me too much though. Quite a few companies require it. |

Does this policy only apply depending on the state you reside in, or is it a new policy in general? I have ordered bulk ammo on several occasions from AIM and have never been asked to provide ID.....just curious. New people/ accounts. I ordered some 5.56 Feb 20... had to upload a photo of my ID. It just cleared verification and has been "processing" since Thursady. Hope you are not in a hurry. My order from SG, ordered at the same time, arrived in 3 days.

You must have added your ID a long time ago and forgot about it, go log into your account and edit your information, it should be listed there. They ask it of every order as long as I can remember.... unless if you shopped there years upon years ago. |

Do you expect them just to take YOUR WORD for it?

Not exactly 100% correct. You can use a gift credit card or you can be an authorized user (with your own card and name) and be far under 18 years old. |

I seem to recall that every online vendor I've bought ammo from has required a copy of my Drivers license.
But most have had a copy for years, so I just log in and buy what I want. I just scanned it, and sent them the .jpeg. years ago when I first registered. Not a big deal, in my opinion. no SS # on mine. |

That makes sense.....new customers/accounts. I've been ordering from AIM for about 12 years, so they are very familiar with me. |

Actually, I have never been asked to provide ID to any vendor I have ordered from......for neither lowers or ammo. I even ordered every box of xm193 from a vendor I have never ordered from last Thursday. I received my shipping notification about an hour ago...maybe it just varies by vendor? |

Quoted: It used to be the case at most online ammo places, more and more are just requiring adult signature on the UPS these days though. And if you have the UPS app, you can change the adult sig requirement and just have them leave it on porch. Aim has mine, but I blacked out my license #. |

I have to show proof of age if I buy ammo at wal mart even tho I am standing right in front of them and its way more than obvious I am way older than 21. I gave AIM a scan of my DL years ago and have never had any kind of issue with them. Amex on the other hand knows way tooo much about me and cant seem to keep a lid on our personal info.... |

Well, on a brighter note, I decided to stop by Wally World this morning and discovered that they are making attempts to stop neckbearding, especially by LGS who buy it from them and mark it up....the clerk told me this is the reason why they marked all the ZQI boxes....all 51 boxes I bought had "Walmart" written in marker on them....

I have mine shipped to work. But, last week, a one-in-a-million chance the fricking FedEx guy was new on the route and hand delivered 500 rounds to my boss at the front door versus the loading dock. He thought the box was his Amazon order or something and looked at the packing slip and headed right for my desk, and wasn't happy. Said no more ammo at work.  I have another box coming this week too but it was already on order.
