I'm planning to buy a Mya QT and some al-amir from these two websites but i wanted to know how do they verify age when they ship the package. I work all day so i won't be able to sign if that's the way that they verify age.

Really?!?!Just be flat out with us.Your underage, you want to buy a hookah and shisha, but you want to buy from a place that does not require you to be 18 to sign for the package.Because you lied, you get no answer.(And I recommend others not give him one either! You would only be aiding in helping a minor buy tobacco)

Speaking from previous experience at socialsmoke.com, my package was actually left near my front door, no signature required.  But that was about a year ago, so things very well might have changed since then.  If UPS isn't told, then even if they require a signature, they don't usually check id.

Both places required me to put in my ID number, wink wink nudg nudge

[Catalyst Paintball]

Wait, you want people to play nice when it comes to talking about PYH, but you would aid a minor in buying a hookah and tobacco?

[Catalyst Paintball]

That was to gixxergirl, not you JimmyD!

Who on earth said he was a minor? You can have your curiosities, but he never said he was under 18, and asked a question about shipping verification since he wouldn't be home.  Although it's a possibility, way to go and make assumptions.  This is the kind of thing people don't need.  There are some honest people in this world who really wonder about little things like this, and ask honest questions, even though sometimes they're interpreted the wrong way.

To answer your question plainly:You need to supply a credit card number as age verification. I realize most banks issue them to those under 18, but never-the-less it is the rule.Your ID will not be checked.

Agreed.  Either answer the question, or don't bother posting.

I'm not going to get involved with the discussion on this thread.  However, I will directly answer the question at hand.

UPS will not verify your age to accept the package.  UPS only
verifies age for products that require a person of 21 years or older to
sign for them, such as alcohol.  If you meet the conditions for
ordering on whatever site you are ordering from, UPS should not give
you any trouble.  The process will be exactly the same as ordering
from anywhere else, such as Amazon.com.

However, if you bypass the age verification on a hookah vendor's
website (and they have done a sufficient job of verifying your age) any
consequences will be on you, and your parent's head.  Please do
not attempt to order from a hookah website if you are under age (if
this even applies), this does no one any good and will only bring all
hookah vendors under closer legislative scrutiny.

EliteHookah is right, such things usually only need to be signed for if
the dealer requires it, or its something potentially dangerous, like
alcohol or a firearm.

I know when I order absinthe It needs a signature, but I've never once had to sign for Hookah pieces or items.

Unfortunatly the cigars I buy do need one, and I can't tell you how many times I've missed getting my box because I was at work

[HookahDuck]

Macho, what website do you order from? Famous-smoke.com has the best prices I can find, and does not verify. It would be slightly more than irritated knowing my new box of cigars was sitting in 90 degree heat at 15% humidity for a second longer than neccesary.

[pauldavis]

i know that hookah-shisha doesn't require a signature to deliver(not to mention, about the whole credit card for verification, before i turnoed 18 i used my debit card...which works just as well)

[Sonthert]

If Mr. Bubble were around, I'm sure he would point out that discussing illegal activity is prohibited on The Hookah Forum. If he were here. Right now. He'd say something like that. Really. I'm leaving now. Don't try to stop me. Bye.
