15. Always Require Adult signature for customer dropship

The option "Always Require Adult Signature for Customer Dropship" with Sports south

means that for any dropshipped orders to customers, the delivery carrier will always require an adult (typically 21 years or older) to sign for and accept the package upon delivery. This requirement ensures that the products are received by a responsible adult and helps comply with legal regulations concerning the sale and delivery of certain items, particularly those that require age verification or are legally restricted to minors. This option helps mitigate risks associated with delivery to minors and ensures compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
