Age Verification; what is it? Why are you making me do it?

Recently (August 8th 2016) The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began requiring ALL online retailers of tobacco products (including vape products) to obtain ID/legal smoking age from every customer, much the same as you would be carded at a gas station to purchase cigarettes. There are various ways of doing this. We chose to use agechecker.net. We chose this particular system in part because when it works correctly, it is the least invasive system available. Other systems ask for a picture ID automatically or even Social Security Numbers (SSN). The AgeChecker.net program takes your name, address, and date of birth, and compares what you enter in your customer profile to publicly available records. If the information matches properly, you are verified! Yay! Approximately 10-15% of customers may enter all of their information properly and the program will fail to make an automatic match. This happens, and is not your fault, it is simply part of what it means to use a non invasive system that is automated. The system will then ask for an ID and if you're logged into your account, your verification will be saved so you will not have to go through the process next order.
