Shipt: Unauthorized account access / account sharing deactivation appeal

Independent self-help tool. We are not Shipt, not affiliated with Shipt, and we never ask for your Shipt password.

What this deactivation means

Shipt's policy covers holding multiple shopper accounts and letting anyone else, including minors, shop or deliver on your account, including sharing your password or ID. Bringing a helper or passenger along is treated as a violation too, because Shipt does not insure them. False flags happen: a failed selfie or ID recheck, a family member visible in the car who never touched the order, or a login from a new phone can all read as someone else working your account.

Where and when to appeal

Channel
The web 'Appeal form' linked on Shipt's deactivations page (shipt.com/shopper/deactivations). Upload every document inside the form itself: Shipt's page says documents submitted outside the form 'will not be reviewed during the appeal process.' Shoppers also use shoppers@shipt.com and the (205) 502-2500 support line, but those are general support contacts, not the appeal channel, so treat them as follow-up only.
Deadline
No published filing deadline, so file as soon as you can while records are fresh. One timing trap: if a rating or on-time drop put you in a temporary deactivation with a refresher course, shoppers report you get only about 5 days to finish it, and missing that window can make the deactivation permanent.
Decision time
No published national timeline. Minnesota shoppers have a real one: a September 2025 settlement with the Minnesota Attorney General requires Shipt to answer every deactivation appeal in writing within 3 business days. Outside Minnesota, shoppers report anything from a few days to two weeks, and some appeals get no reply at all.

The evidence that moves this reason

  • A fresh, clear selfie next to your government ID
  • A plain written statement that only you have ever shopped on the account
  • The innocent explanation for what tripped the flag (new phone, changed appearance, a passenger who never handled orders) with dates
  • Your order history under your own identity

What actually works

Make the whole appeal about identity. Say directly that no one else has ever shopped or delivered on your account, explain exactly what their system probably saw, and offer to re-verify any way they want. If someone else truly did work your account, even once as a favor, appeals almost never succeed, and pretending otherwise burns your one shot.

Be realistic: platforms rarely reverse this one. Your appeal needs strong proof of what really caused it, not an apology or a plea.
