Ok for everyone who is having trouble deciding on what site to go with when getting an Id, I have some valuable information.
FIRST and foremost, do yourself a favor and go with idviking.com
and here is why...
I have used my own ID hundreds of times before I turned the great age of 21. I have never had any questions about my ID. From purchasing booze, to getting into bars, heck, even to RENT A CAR! (I would not advise renting a car because that is big time illegal if you get caught)
heres the details on why ID viking is the greatest thing since sliced bread
quality of ID: 9.5/10
as long as you submit a decent picture that follows the guidelines on the website you'll be golden. They have great editing skills and make everything look super legit.
I'll give you a quick scenario:
you're waiting in line to get into the bar the ALL of your friends have been going to without you while you're forced to stay in your dorm and actually study for that final that you and I both know you could care less about. Your adrenaline is pumping as you hand the bouncer your fake. this is the first time you used it and you can't remember if your zip code ends 02 or 04. you're praying that he doesn't ask you any of your information. then he proceeds to bend your ID. In your head, you're thinking this is the end of there world. you'll be arrested after your ID gets taken, spend the rest of your life in jail, and never graduate from that Ivy League school that your parents paid for. BUT WAIT THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE OF THIS HAPPENS! THE LAMINATE ON YOUR ID DOESNT BEND OR BUBBLE! this is because ID viking has some of the best hologram stickers iv'e seen, and I couldn't tell the difference from a real and a fake.
The ID's have the exact same measurements as a real one, and they have the same flexibility too. The only reason that I won't give a perfect 10 is because on some of the states the ID's aren't as shiny as a real one, with a sort of dull finish. At first I thought this would be a dead giveaway until I saw a legitimate Georgia ID. they feel and look 100% alike with the same finish. This gave me hope.
Shipping: 8.5/10
I recently placed a massive order, (70+ people) and I received my ID along with FOUR BONUS COPIES OF DIFFERENT STATES that I didn't even have to pay for, BEFORE the final payment was even made!
the only reason I didn't rate a solid 10/10 is because I had some slackers on my end and made the mistake of letting people make a downpayment to me to secure their order, which took too long to collect their final payment, delaying the time it took me to convert the currency and get it to the vendor. from the time I placed my order, all 70 people will receive their order within 3-4 weeks after this issue. if you send the complete payment all at once when you submit your order, I would estimate with EXTREME CONFIDENCE you will receive everything within 10-14 days tops.
On my previous orders I have made, they took no more than 8 days to arrive. I will note that this is not a guarantee for everyone depending on the amount of people in your order, and the workload the company has. Not trying to bash other vendors, but my very first ID I tried to order with ID gods. It took literally two and a half months to arrive, AFTER they completely misplaced my order and I had to badger them via email to finally start working on it.
Customer service:11/10
ID Viking has the best customer service I have ever seen, even better than amazon and apple. You have a question? they'll reply to your email in a matter of hours. Other sites take weeks to even months to reply.
If you have any problems with an order don't hesitate to reach out to them. They are extremely polite with helping negotiate a solution and keeping their customers happy and coming back.
Price: 9/10
nothing in this world is free, unfortunately, unless you place a big order in which they'll happily give the group organizer extra freebies. EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER LOVES FREE STUFF!
if you place and order with 15 or more people, the price is 49$ per person. this allows you to even uncharge your friends that you care so much about to make a few extra dollars for your hard work of organizing their order.
If you only want one order for yourself because all of your friends already have ID's, (that they hopefully purchased from IDVIKING) then the price is still pretty fair and competitive. A single order from them will run you about 60-100$ depending on what state and style you choose, along with if you upgrade to speedy fast shipping.
you get what you pay for, and I'd say ID viking gives the most bang for your buck. overall the ID's are amazing and I feel lucky they aren't charging more than they are, because their hard work and efforts along with the quality of the ID's is worth a lot more than what you pay.
stealth: 7.5/10
I received my orders in a ups envelope that looks like any other piece of mail. There is no sketchy looking cardboard box that someone taped together in their basement that looks like you're being mailed an ounce of columbian bam bam off the dark web; EVERYTHING IS SUPER PROFESSIONAL AND LEGITIMATE.
none of my orders have ever been seized by any postal carriers too!
In the unlikely event that this does happen however, ID viking has an amazing policy with a free reprint and reship if you just let them know whats up.
one recommendation for the vendor is maybe include a price add on to up the stealth of your package and put it in a phone case or inside a box of candy for those who still live with their parents.
Hologram/OVI:n 10/10
these have an almost perfect hologram when you hold it at just the right angle, it shines and shimmers ten times better than that new penny you just found on the ground. They function just as a normal Hologram would.
Scannable: 10/10
Ive heard people on reddit having problems with other vendors such as IDGods not scanning. My old roommate got his fake form ID gods and only one of the barcodes scanned on the back. I PROMISE YOU WONT HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH ID VIKING! My ID along with my friends have been scanned hundreds of times from gas stations, to liquor stores, to even amusement parks. Scans every time no questions asked :)
Overall:9.8/10
I have done plenty of business with ID Viking and would not recommend anyone else. The best customer service I have ever received, They listen to any issues way better than your boyfriend or girlfriend ever could, and provide great solutions to any problems you may come across. I plan to make all future orders from this vendor, and cannot stress enough how happy I am with their service.
