I bought a directed 1100D from them last november. We payed by credit card, but they sure as heck didn't ask for a drivers license. I'm not sure how they are now a days though /shrug.
You have to question this. Why would they want a copy of your drivers license? How are they going to prove who you are from your picture? I mean, how are they going to match up your mug to a mugshot on your license? In situations like that, it would be easy to find some credit card and drivers license and sally forth. Sounds a bit shady if you ask me.
i ordered almost 1000 worth of stuff a month ago, and they didnt ask me anything. i would give them a ring on the ole telephone if i were you. see what they say. maybe its something new though.
I just bought a type-r through the website and wasn't asked for any extra info. Are you guys ordering through the phone? It should be automated like shopping at any other website.
