Thread: copy of ID Required

  1. #1

    Default copy of ID Required

    Heads up to everyone before you order for Edgeautosport.

    They will require a copy of your photo ID. They don't tell you until after they have taken your money though. If you refuse they will refund you - but you cop the 3% international transfer fee.

    I will personally find a company that will verify my identify with a simple deposit of between 0-$1.00.

    Cheers

    I think it's something more recent, and only on your first international purchase (anti fraud) but yes they should advise prior to payment as allot of people don't feel comfortable giving out certain details.

    So what? At least they can't stuff up the delivery address.

    Yeah i'm not hugely opposed to it - but now im pissed so ill just buy else where.
    If they did it BEFORE they had my money I would have agreed.

    Or did what other companies do and ask me to confirm a small charge on the card.

    I don't understand the problem? Why is that reason for them to lose future business on your behalf?
    Id checks and stuff for international purchases is a good idea imo.

    Think it maybe related to the whole identity theft thing, people being able to access you drivers license once transmitted over the internet that sort of thing I suspect

    and the fact that this is somewhat forced upon after they have your money

    Basically its just a shitty thing to do.

    But more importantly - it wasn't until after I had registered, ordered and paid that they hit me up for it.

    Its just a shitty move. At JB hi-fi they wouldn't do it. I.E sell you a TV and after you paid come back with...btw ill need to copy your drivers licence before you can take the TV from the store.

    Which is actually a problem for me - because my drivers licence address is different from my current address where ill be staying for the next 2-3 months.

    I bet if you order from them again they won't ask. It's just security on their end and now they know they are safe they proceed as normal.
    I'd imagine they get a fair few credit card fraud attempts and you probably got snagged on their checklist and for their own safety they HAD to check id.

    I'd stick with them. Your not going to get better customer service anyway from anywhere else anyway.

    Nah mate, go order from 'MPS Garage' instead! You'll get your stuff so much quicker.











    Joking...don't do that!

    Sucks that you weren't told till late, but did they offer to give your money back?

    Chat to edge about it, they have been awesome with every dealing iv had with them. I'm sure they will sort it out for you.

    Im not that worried to be honest - just don't want to give them my driver's licence.

    They said they will give a refund....hasn't happened yet but I'm sure it will.

    Thought I would inform people here of their requirement on first purchase.

    EDGE have been doing business with MSF for ages... and if MSF say they are legit then you can be sure they are otherwise there would be a 50+ page thread on their shit dealings, EG: SURE Motorsport.

    I wouldn't worry about a copy of ID to these guys as they are out to protect their interests / reputation (no one wants their company to be associated with any fraudulent activity) and not selling your details to Nigerian Royalty.
