Impossible system that does not work

I am 73 and am simply trying to buy some ordinary cutlery which includes domestic knives for eating with, nothing lethal. I have used my credit card and driving licence over 10 times each and each time it asks me to put in the correct details. They are correct! This system does not work. Please AgeChecked sort it out. I would not give it even 1 star. The people who I get through to, eventually, also gave me a phone number which is permanently "busy" which I am afraid I doubt.

Does not work at all and is nothing but…

Does not work at all and is nothing but a frustrating experience. How a company can be so bad at the one thing they're supposed to do is beyond me. Have tried multiple times on multiples devices with multiple forms of ID. I keep getting emails from them to verify my age. It goes through and says it's fine but then I'll get an email. So I'll go through it again, it says something is wrong and to switch devices so I do, and it says it's complete. But then I get an email saying they can't verify my age. This is the last time I ever purchase something online that requires age verification.

Poor service and poor complaint handling

We had a poor experience with AgeChecked. The system created checkout friction, caused failed and abandoned purchases, and generated customer complaints. Legitimate customers struggled to complete purchases, which harmed conversions and wasted a lot of management time.

We also experienced recurring charges that were not properly explained, and when we raised formal complaints, the responses were delayed and not properly addressed.

We eventually removed the system from our website because it was doing more harm than good. Based on our experience, I would not recommend the service.

Absolutely useless system

Absolutely useless system. The age verification on this site/software is a complete joke. I tried multiple times, with different methods, and nothing worked. Not once. Because their broken verification process couldn’t do the one job it’s supposed to do, my order was cancelled. On top of that, I lost a major discount code that I can’t use anymore, all thanks to their incompetent setup. Total waste of time. Fix your system.

Very poor website.

I tried several times to verify my driving licence on their website but couldn't get beyond my email address which it said it recognised and so I had to log in ( I have never used this site before). I tried a password but it was rejected so then I changed my password but it still wouldn't recognise or let me in. I never got to put in my driving licence details! However the order appears to have gone through anyway. What a complete waste of time.

Seems 100 percent useless

Trying to buy some caustic soda online, sent an agechecked link, which completely failed, both credit card option (ended up just hanging), and data-checked (simply failed). No retry option, just fail, fail, fail.

Counter-intuitive app.

I took a picture of the front and back of my driving licence. Getting it in frame took three goes because the app does not tell you straight away whether the result is ok - or what it is doing with it apart from a green line apparently scanning the photo. The picture on my licence is some 20 years (or more old). In the intervening years I have aged (now 78) and need glasses to read my phone screen.
I was asked to verify my licence by taking a photo of myself.
I took a full face photo.
I was then asked to turn my head to the right and so couldn't see the screen. When I peeked out of the corner of my eye it told me I had moved so I tried again. Unable to see the screen again I was unaware that my head had drifted out of frame. We started again.Same problems but then I realised that I was being asked for a left face shot. Again, looking out of the corner of my eye I saw it was asking me to bloody smile. Being a somewhat grumpy old man with an arthritic neck a smile was far from my thoughts. However, I tried a grimace in each shot and the app gave up and told me I had failed and to contact the selling company.
Counter-intuitive app
Is it a blood sample or DNA test next?

Just will not work

Just will not work, completely useless stopped me buying from a company I use regularly. I have had my driving licence from 1973.
The age check links will not work, saying wrong password but will not let me enter a changed one.
Saying wrong email address - but I only use one email address
