Shipt: Alcohol or age-restricted delivery violation deactivation appeal

What this deactivation means

Shipt's policy names the specific failures: not checking ID, accepting an invalid ID, forging a member's signature, delivering alcohol to a minor or a visibly intoxicated person, leaving an alcohol order unattended, or delivering without Shipt's alcohol certification. One flagged order can end the account because liquor law is involved. Shoppers report gray-area flags too, like a member demanding a doorstep drop or an app flow that let the order close without the ID scan.

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

  • Your alcohol certification
  • The flagged order's full record
  • The chat where a member asked you to leave it unattended and your refusal
  • A written walkthrough of your ID routine on every alcohol order
  • Screenshots if the app skipped or glitched the ID step

What actually works

Show a process, not a plea. Walk through how you handle every alcohol order, step by step, then show what actually happened on the flagged one with the chat and order record. If the member pushed for an unattended drop and you refused or reported it, that chat is your case. If you genuinely slipped once, admitting it and describing your new routine is the only honest path, and the odds are still low because legal exposure drives these.

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