Age Requirement

Cosplay Collectibles sells collectible items including replica helmets, medieval shields, wooden swords, belly dance swords, and LARP collection pieces. Purchase of these items is restricted to customers aged 18 years or older. By placing an order on this website, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old.

Why This Policy Exists

Some of our products, including wooden swords, belly dance swords, and LARP pieces, are decorative and performance items rather than everyday goods, and we choose to apply an 18+ policy as a responsible selling practice. This helps ensure our products are purchased and used appropriately by adults.

Age Verification Process

To confirm the age of our customers, we use the following steps:

  • At checkout: You will be asked to confirm that you are 18 or older before completing your order.
  • ID verification: For qualifying orders, we may request a copy of a valid government-issued photo ID (passport, driving licence, or national ID card) showing your name and date of birth before the order is dispatched.
  • At delivery: Our courier partners may require an adult signature and ID check upon delivery. If valid ID cannot be shown at the point of delivery, the parcel may not be left and could be returned to us.

What ID We Accept

  • Valid passport
  • Photocard driving licence
  • National identity card (for customers outside the UK, where applicable)

Please make sure any ID document is current and clearly shows your full name and date of birth.

How We Handle Your ID Information

  • ID images are used only to verify your age and for no other purpose.
  • Copies are stored securely and kept only as long as necessary, then deleted.
  • We do not share your ID with third parties except couriers where required for delivery verification.

What Happens If Age Cannot Be Verified

If we are unable to confirm that you are 18 or older, we reserve the right to:

  • Cancel the order and issue a full refund, or
  • Hold the order until valid proof of age is provided.
