*Note: Alcohol delivery certified shoppers can deliver alcohol in Chicago and MI, MN, MO, and OH metros. When checking out with alcohol in Minnesota, it must be purchased in a separate transaction if there are other non-alcoholic items on the order.

If any of these items are on an order, shoppers can kindly let the member know that those items are not eligible for delivery with Shipt. If the member requests more information, shoppers may politely recommend that they reach out to Shipt Support for further details.

What should shoppers do if a member special requests alcohol or wants to add alcohol to their grocery order?

Shoppers will not be able to honor a request for alcohol on a “dry” order (an order that does not already include alcohol). If a member wants to add alcohol after they have placed a dry order, shoppers may politely let them know they will have to place a new order for that item to be delivered.

Will shoppers need to bag items at checkout?
