plat.co.jp birthdate required?

Post by sbd3 » Sun Aug 28, 2022 8:16 pm

Anyone shop for their tackle at plat.co.jp? I went to purchase an item there and in order to check out an account is required, which in order to create also required providing your birthdate which I'm not comfortable giving in the name of privacy and safety. Is there a reason as to why would they require this? I don't recall having to do this at a few other jdm sites I've ordered form.

Best guess is to check if you are old enough to do business.
Whenever a shop asked my this, I was born on January 1st on my actual birth year. It never came up a second time when online shopping… it’s not my apple-ID :D

I have bought at least four rods from Plat and they have always been reliable and good at email with US customers. I also share your caution about data privacy. If your not comfortable giving out such personal details as dob, I would send an email and ask them if it’s necessary to place your order.

I actually did send them an email asking if I could create an account without providing my dob right before I started this thread, never heard back from them.

Thanks for the update and sorry to hear their services are slipping. I wonder if the management has changed or they sold their storefront.

My complaint is it didn't seem like they had a lot in stock.
