Ontario has finally opened most everything up so I thought I would do a quick flash sale! It ends Tuesday at 9am.

There is a huge amount of online fraud with optics right now. We're asking for extra ID for buyers we are new customers, especially when the billing address doesn't match the shipping address.

It is your first order and you want to have it shipped to an address that doesn't match the billing address. This raises a few flags with us so we asked for extra ID. Wouldn't you want someone to verify it is actually you buying something since the addresses don't match up.

So, I thought I would avail myself of the savings here. Bought a scope. Only to receive a message that in order to complete the order I was required to send a copy of my PAL, it was suggested by Sally that unless I complied they would consider my order to be fraudulent.
This isn't the first time this has happened to me, I had a similar experience at Latulippe.], only I don't think they specifically asked for my PAL.
I can purchase a firearm online by supplying my name, pal # and expiry date. I don't see how sending any picture of a photo id combats fraud in any way for an online transaction.
So why do retailers ask for this?

I'm furious right now.

I had the same thing happen a week ago buying unregulated parts. A different company mind you.

I took my business elsewhere. overstepping requirements imo it seems fishy when multiple businesses are doing this now.

Did you read the reply from the retailer? Buddy is trying to buy a scope and have it shipped to an address other than the billing address and he's also a first time customer. I don't blame SFRC for being cautious and asking for more details to cover their ass.

lol. for a scope? want to play the game as an online business, you assume the risk. funny how much garbage people on this site excuse from retailers that they would screach about in other threads if it was the liberals doing it.
 
SFRC is fantastic. I opened an account. signed up for the newsletter. and get the sale notices promptly. Gotten many a fantastic deal from them in the last year. I managed to keep my credit card in my wallet this time around though. lol
 
It's not cool for a small retailer to ship a 2k scope just to get hit by a charge back a couple of days later. I understand the need to validate an ID especially when shipping/billing adress is different.
