John Fitzpatrick Delivery Quotations

Typically, on-line, there is no way to verify age. You have a credit card being offered or a check card that doesn't have a birth date. You're not looking at the person. There's no way to verify who you're dealing with. The only way to deal with that is at the point of delivery in the case of on-line sales.

So what that translates to is that you have a very rushed and harried FedEx or delivery person, who is neither trained nor licensed to deliver alcohol, whose job it is to move as many boxes in the shortest amount of time. This is not conducive to slowing down, stopping to check an ID and, if no one is home, as many parents aren't during the day, the product is handed to anybody at the door who may or may not sign for it and, in many cases, the alcohol is just left for anybody to retrieve. That is not how society is set up for alcohol to be sold.
