Ordering with in:Five
Do I need to set up an account with you?
The answer is a surprising no! in:Five allows you to place an order without logging in, so you don’t have to memorize a set of password. If you wish to personalize your account, you may change your details, save your payment details and set up your payment methods under ‘Account’, which will speed things up the next time you place an order.
Can I cancel my order?
Unfortunately, our App does not currently allow you to change or cancel anything yourself. We are also unable to edit an order once it has been placed. We know this is not ideal, but should you need help, please get in touch with our crew at customerservice@in-five.co.uk and we will look for the best solution for you.
How do I know my order is ready?
When you are ready to check out, you will see our estimated Pick Time for your order at a specific in:Five store. When you are ready to pick up, simply go to “Orders” and click “Start” next to the order you wish to pick up, so that we will start preparing your orders immediately. Our app will also send app notifications to remind you about your order, so please subscribe for a smooth purchase. Don’t forget, you will then have 15 minutes to complete your pick up.
Why do I need to verify my age during checkout?
When you have added an age-restricted item (e.g. alcohol or tobacco), in:Five as a responsible retailer, would have to verify you are aged 18 or above in order to sell the mentioned items to you before checkout and collection. Using the solution powered by our partner Yoti, your age will be verified in seconds, giving you a seamless shopping expereience.

Sobriety Test & Age Verification
Is the sobriety test mandatory for all alcohol pickups?
Yes, undergoing a sobriety test is a compulsory procedure for every customer picking up alcohol items from our store. This is a key aspect of our dedication to promoting responsible drinking. The test can be initiated by clicking “verify” when accessing the locker via our app.
How does the sobriety test function?
Our sobriety test involves a simple, multiple-choice mathematics question designed to assess basic cognitive functions. This quick and unobtrusive method helps ensure your sobriety prior to the pickup of alcohol items. You are allowed two attempts; failing both will result in the cancellation and refund of your alcohol items. Upon successful completion within two trials, you will proceed to the age verification process.
Are the results of my sobriety test recorded or shared?
No, the results of the sobriety test are neither recorded nor shared with any third parties. The test is exclusively for confirming responsible alcohol consumption at the time of pickup.
Is age verification mandatory for obtaining age-restricted products at in:Five?
Absolutely, age verification is essential for all age-restricted products, including alcohol and tobacco, in compliance with legal regulations. This ensures the responsible sale of these products. You will be prompted to complete the verification process, powered by Yoti, at your initial purchase of age-restricted products and each subsequent pickup.
How is age verification conducted?
Age verification at in:Five is facilitated by our partner, Yoti. You will have the option to choose between Age Estimation and Age Verification:
- Age Estimation: Utilising Yoti’s facial recognition technology, your facial features are analysed to estimate your age range, ensuring that no personal data is stored or shared.
- Age Verification: For heightened accuracy and compliance, you might need to verify your age by scanning a government-issued ID through the Yoti app.
Rest assured, in:Five does not access your sensitive data, as the entire verification process is securely managed through Yoti’s platform. You may find Yoti’s Privacy Policy at www.yoti.com/privacy/
What is Yoti and how is it used for age verification?
Yoti is a digital identity service that securely authenticates your age using either government-issued ID or biometric facial recognition technology. For detailed information, visit their website at www.yoti.com.
