Have you been ID'd for an ASDA home delivery?

I happily accepted my goods and signed his gadget then he asks for some ID. Cue puzzled me 'I didn't buy any alcohol!'
Apparently it's what they need to do on each delivery
I showed some ID and he left.
I wonder what would have happened if I had no ID. I'd already accepted the food afterall
How bizarre
Was I stitched up by Asda?

Why do you say stitched up you had to show some ID not hand over your life savings ? I don't think it is unreasonable for them to ask for ID to ensure they have handed over the goods to the correct party. I must admit I have not been asked for ID when they have delivered goods but I would not object to it.
Thanks for the heads up.
No, I don't mean stitched up like that, just played a joke on
I don't object to it
Hasn't happened before hence the confusion
Nah, not worried, more curious as if this was what they were meant to do then why have I never been asked for ID on my other deliveries
Still me being me if it did happen i'd feel the need to phone asda and ask if it is normal for it to happen or if its a new policy they have.
Just a thought, really.
sorry sir I have a bad back so you must collect your shopping from the van.
Sorry sir my manager says Im not allowed to carry stuff up steps
Sorry sir we tried ringing you but both your landline and mobile where out of order
...I dont use them any more
driver might of been narked you didnt tip..had that before..I use OCADO
When I called the call centre to enquire, they called back all apologetic and said that they had been unable to contact the store as it was now closed for the evening.
So I went online and placed a delivery with Tesco which came the next morning.
The following afternoon the Asda driver called and apologised for the delay and asked whether we still wanted the delivery. We told him Tesco had already been :cool:
Sounds like your delivery managers a clone of our moron
I can't imagine overreacting so much to something so trivial. Why are some people so averse to showing ID they go out of the way to make life difficult for themselves? Bizarre.
To quote part of another of my posts, on another thread ...
good point. I do indeed live in a flat with a communal front door
Mystery solved (probably)
..
I don't know why people think I'm complaining about needing to show ID :S I'm merely curious as to why it hasn't happened before and wondered if it was something that actually does happen. It must be in a driver rule book somewhere and my driver was being a rule abiding employee :kitty:
Because I'm the customer, at my home address, I've already had my bank account debited for the cost of the goods, and I don't expect to be hassled for ID at my own bloody front door.
That said, I can see why the OP was asked for ID in this instance, given the communal nature of the accommodation. Although the delivery guy should have explained why he was asking.
It's not making life difficult for me anyway. Tesco are far superior to ASDA when it comes to home delivery. Although in store, ASDA have the edge.
No never asked me in years I have been ordering!
I think in the world we live it its understandable that in some areas and with some people they might exercise their right to ask though.
IIRC ASDA sell DVD's, games, sharp objects (knives, cooking utensils, BBQ tools, tools), and alcohol all of which require them to make sure the person buying is over 18, and I suspect that could be interpreted to mean that the person taking delivery is over 18 as well.
So if their home delivery gear isn't versitile, or they're worried about their man missing a flagged delivery, getting an adults sig and some proof of id is a good idea.
It can also be a very good idea in regards to fraud in some areas, or with sorts of buildings (and again getting it for everyone could be an easier option than to get it for flagged addresses).
Thats with booze and ****.
Glad to have hopefully shed some light on it.
To be honest, I think I'd have had to call their customer services to put myself out of my misery as to why - I'm just a nosy bint at the end of the day (aka "Phone themmmmm!!! Tell meeee! Nowwww!! haha!)
S'funny cos I thought that by registering on a supermarket site with a name and address and using a credit card registered at that address would be sufficient for a delivery to take place.
Maybe I should ask the driver for ID next time.
