What this deactivation means

The email only says you violated the Shopper Agreement, with no order, date, or incident named. Shipt notices are often this vague. The real trigger is almost always one of the other reasons here: a stat that slipped, a member report, or an automated flag. Minnesota shoppers now have a right to better: the 2025 AG settlement requires Shipt to state the specific contract provision it claims you violated.

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 screenshot of the exact deactivation notice
  • your 'Shopper Hub' stats from before the deactivation
  • your last few weeks of orders
  • any support tickets, warnings, or odd member interactions from your final days
  • any reference ID in the notice

What actually works

Ask Shipt to name the specific provision and incident, then answer the most likely trigger anyway so the appeal does work either way. Check your stats first, because a quiet slide under 4.7 or 90% explains many mystery notices. Walk through your recent orders, flag anything unusual with your records attached, and keep it short. Minnesota shoppers should cite the AG settlement's requirement by name when asking for the specific reason.

You can win this one, but only with strong, specific proof; a form letter won't move it.

If Shipt denies the appeal

Denied: re-submit through the appeal form only when you have NEW documents, since Shipt says it does not review anything sent outside the form. Minnesota shoppers have extra teeth: the September 2025 Minnesota AG settlement requires Shipt to name the specific contract provision it says you violated and to answer appeals in writing within 3 business days, and you can complain to the Minnesota Attorney General's office if it does not. If the background or driving report is wrong, dispute it directly with Checkr. The law (FCRA) makes them recheck it, usually within 30 days, and the fixed report goes to Shipt automatically. Beyond that, the Shopper Agreement's Mutual Arbitration Provision is the contractual path: individual arbitration, no court or class case, unless you opted out in writing within 30 days of creating your account (few did). Read your own copy of the agreement for the current arbitration steps and notice address (Shipt Legal is in Birmingham, AL). Note on Seattle: the deactivation-rights ordinance that helps workers on other platforms does not currently help here, because Shipt paused Seattle operations in January 2024 over those laws and had not returned as of mid 2026. Some shoppers report that a BBB or state attorney general consumer complaint got a human to re-read a case; treat that as a pressure valve, not a process.
