— SAFETY & COMPLIANCE

AGE VERIFICATION POLICY

Responsible outdoor retail. Strict compliance with UK knife laws to protect our community.

Over 18s Only for Bladed Articles

Under the Offensive Weapons Act 2019 and the Criminal Justice Act 1988, it is illegal to sell bladed articles to anyone under the age of 18 in the United Kingdom. Prepper World enforces 100% compliance across all online orders.

How Our 2-Step Age Verification Works

Step 1: Checkout Verification

When you checkout with a bladed item, our automated verification system cross-references your details against UK electoral and credit reference data. It is instant and does not affect your credit score.

Step 2: Adult Signature on Delivery

Couriers will only hand over bladed parcels to an adult with valid government photo ID upon request. Packages cannot be left unattended.

Why Age Verification Matters

We believe in the legitimate outdoor use of knives for bushcraft, camping, and utility. Stringent age checking protects the community and safeguards responsible access to quality tools.
