Has anyone experienced this?
Did you buy a lot? I ordered about $100 back in January and didn't need to do that.

No, just about $200 USD. Got an email from DHL and Probikekit asking for my passport information.

I wouldn't scan my passport and send it anyone for 10 grand, let alone 200 bucks.

I've ordered lots of stuff from PBK....they usually have pretty good deals if you don't mind the shipping times. Always paid the extra few bucks for tracking/insurance when I ordered something expensive, though.
