I once got cussed out by a customer because I didn't leave her wine the day before...
apparently her "regular" driver(Ground) was a better driver than me for leaving her booze all the time
I said "sorry, it's company policy and the law, and I'd like to keep my job"
She wanted to call in a complaint, I said please do.
I'm guessing the ID thing might be a legal move, probably stemming from issues, wouldn't be surprised if its limited to certain states.

Wait I’m confused. Aren’t most Ground drivers over 21. So when the driver signs for the package and drop and run..shouldn’t be an issue

Too many Ground drivers released ASR's. This is the result.

Just telling it like it is
Alcohol shipments and residentials have always been a recipe for failure. Most of the time it’s sent thru the cheapest service (XS) and then requires usually multiple attempts to catch someone at home. And now a drivers license check too? What a load of crap.

Top right of that page does just say Ground. As if they’ll follow those instructions.

I have no way of verifying this myself but I'm hearing talk of alcohol shippers, or even FedEx themselves, contacting randomly selected customers to verify their ID was checked by the courier. This wouldn't surprise me in the least given the number of people who tell me their controlled prescriptions and vapes were left at the door by another courier.

Some restaurants and bars ask for ID no matter how old you appear to be. Why is this such a big deal?

If you don't have a ID to scan you can manually enter in DOB.
I just think how much it will impact customers on route other than slowing drivers down.

Naturally.
Just sayin people are gonna be pissed, come to door and then have to go back and get DL or on the phone ,kid screaming etc. just another layer of crap to deal with. I ask for ID now if age is questionable but rarely happens. Well, only 38 work days for me left so whatever.

Exactly
Don't count on it.
It wouldn't even take 1 hand how many ASR I get in 1 week. Minimal impact on time.

I think I deliver maybe 3-4 a week. Most of them go to Walgreens and not even to the house so pretty easy in my route.

I get 2,3 a day that's just medications, because of covid more pharmacies are shipping
I ran another rte in a retirement area, and they love their wine... 4+ a day.
