As a business that enables the delivery of groceries and over-the-counter medications, Shipt is considered an essential service provider. Though many metros may have shelter-in-place orders right now, shoppers, as independent contractors with Shipt, can continue to claim and shop orders if they are comfortable doing so. The letter below is proof of Shipt's Essential Service status and may be shown to anyone needing to verify that. Consider bookmarking this page or saving a copy of this letter to your phone if you are planning to shop in an area with shelter-in-place orders. Shipt is monitoring shelter in place orders nationwide and will update you here at this link should Shipt's standing as an essential service provider change.

As always, shoppers are encouraged to shop only if they feel safe and healthy enough to do so. Shipt urges shoppers to follow the CDC’s prevention and protection guidance (including social distancing) wherever possible.
