Belonged to a couple of wine clubs US and they send two bottles a month to your residence. Their has to be someone min 21 years old to accept delivery...

You're talking of a country that generally follows rules.

Only last night I went to the shop next door to us, to be given an EMS package addressed to us. As we weren't at home, the shop-owner signed for it. Helpful yes, but against the rules to deliver it to another address.

What is the point of this? More authoritorian control for no good reason and it makes the people hate the government even more.

Then why not allow a photo of the buyers ID (showing proof of age) be uploaded online and then the goods delivered to/received by that person? There are many solutions to this but they’ve not been adopted, so the small retailers will not survive, thus eliminating the competition for the big boys.

Of course you can. You upload a photo of the buyers ID and the goods are only delivered to that person.

Big C took alcohol already from their website. Its really anoying, if living far from shops and do not like the normal chang/leo p.ss, have to use now the car to drive 25km to the next big super market.

 

Pretty much what I have to do in the US, as well. For anything.
