In fairness, that is not specific to Tenda. Federal law changed as part of bringing back the long gun registry:

See "Information Relating to Transferee’s Licence" section 6 (a) (ii) B.
If you are picking up in person then you can show your PAL and have them compare the photo with your face. That said I don't know if every vendor has updated their web stores to take this into account (ie not requiring emailed info for pickup orders)... given all the other crazy things going on I expect they have not.
Code:
For the purposes of the issuance of a reference number under section 23 of the Act, the transferor must
(a) confirm, when making a request referred to in paragraph 23(1)(b) of the Act to the Registrar, that they have taken reasonable steps to verify that the transferee is the holder of the licence, including
(i) in the case of a transfer that is completed in person, whether in whole or in part, by comparing the photograph on the licence with the person presenting themselves as the transferee, and
(ii) in all other cases,
(A) by using the method set out in paragraph (a), or
(B) if the comparison cannot be undertaken using that method, by comparing the information on the transferee’s licence with that on another piece of photo identification that has been issued by the Government of Canada or a provincial or municipal government; and
(b) provide the Registrar with
(i) the transferee’s licence number, and
(ii) any other information requested by the Registrar.
Anyways, the only alternative I can see is allowing the dealer to verify your PAL in person.
