I had it last week, needed ID as it was a bottle of Moet! The "do" for the wife of one of my DHs oldest friends 80th had to be cancelled due to covid and they sent all the guests a bottle of champagne, really kind!

The Amazon delivery men don't work directly for Amazon. Delivery is contracted out to local drivers. They could be anyone at all.

This delivery person has your name, address and wanted your date of birth!?
Doesn't sound right to me. Contact Amazon. Not all their staff may be honest.
My daughter came downstairs to find an Amazon delivery man in her living room.

Some items they have to be assured you are over a certain age. Do you look very young?

Package has arrived. As ann said left in the porch, didn’t even ring the bell. Why not contact Amazon doodle? Think I would.

I have with Amazon when it has been Alcohol, as in Gin and Whisky for Christmas and Birthdays but I never sign for anything else now, they just ring the bell and leave it in the porch.

Not happened yet. I’ve a small package due later. If asked I’ll make up a date of birth. Seems odd.

Yes I didn’t think of that till later. I didn’t have to write it down it was a form on his hand held gadget and he wanted me to tell him.

DH and I have Amazon deliveries all the time. Parcels are often left outside our door or in the reception and they don’t even ring the bell. Today’s delivery man said he needed my date of birth for confirmation of deliver. I told him I wasn’t giving him my date of birth and that Amazon don’t know my date of birth anyway so it wouldn’t confirm anything. I offered to sign for the delivery but no, nothing other that me giving him my date of birth would do. If I did not provide the information he would take the packages away. After much discussion we said take them then which he did.
The items ordered were a bathmat and some hand wipes, not exactly contraband.
Has anyone else been asked for their date of birth when taking delivery of an Amazon order ?
