Also just got this from them
The FDA Regulations begin August 8th (Monday)
As most of you already know (hopefully all of you) starting Monday, Aug 8 the FDA regulations go into effect. One of those regulations is Age Verification for online stores. We searched high and low to find a solution that will ensure this new process is as simple and quick as possible for our valued customers. In the end we decided BlueCheck was the best solution.
There are a few extra steps involved but the entire process should only take about 20 seconds. You will only need to go
through the verification process one time. After that your information is saved for future orders.

Below is a list of steps you'll need to complete in order to be verified. If you have any issues, please email
help@bluecheck.me
When going
through the checkout process, right before you enter your payment details, a small box will pop up guiding you
through the age verification process.
1. Enter your First Name, Middle Initial, and Last Name
2. Enter your Date of Birth, then phone number (Cell Number that can receive SMS, if not enter your phone number, and email
help@bluecheck.me for further assistance.)
3. Enter the last 4 digits of your SSN
4. If you are 27 or older, and the information you provided matches the databases BlueCheck references, you will be sent a code to your phone via SMS, enter the code. You will now be allowed to finish entering your payment details and complete your order.
4a. If you are under the age of 27 or the information you entered could not be verified, you will then be asked to upload some pictures, so that BlueCheck can confirm your age manually.
5. First upload a picture of your ID Card that is clearly readable.
6. Second, upload a picture of the same ID card next to your face, yes they are asking for a selfie with your ID.
7. You will then see a message letting you know that you will receive an email when you are verified.
Once you receive the email that you are verified, go through the checkout process again, Bluecheck will pop up one more time, enter in your information, you will be sent a code to your phone via SMS, enter the code. You will now be allowed to finish entering your payment details and complete your order.
