Alcohol and over-the-counter policies

Ordering alcohol

GroceryList delivers alcohol to select retailers and markets. You can check availability in your area with the GroceryList app or website.

Some legal restrictions apply to alcohol orders—

  • Customers must be 21 or older to order alcohol items and provide an approved photo ID showing their birthdate at delivery.
  • We can’t add alcohol special requests.
  • If an alcohol item is out of stock, your shopper will contact you to get approval for a replacement. If the shopper doesn’t get approval, they’ll refund the items. 
  • Shoppers can only add alcohol to replace other alcoholic items. 

Alcohol delivery

Shoppers must deliver to recipients that are 21 or older. Your shopper will verify your age and scan the front and/or back of your ID when they deliver. In some cases, the shopper can also enter your information manually. Your information isn’t stored on shoppers’ personal devices. Some states require a signature before the alcohol can be delivered. 

Special restrictions include—

  • We can’t deliver alcohol to visibly intoxicated persons or leave alcohol unattended.
  • We can’t deliver alcohol if the customer doesn’t meet all delivery requirements. In these cases, we refund the alcohol and return it to the store. The customer may still be charged delivery fees, bottle deposit fees, or the tip.
