• Drivers are required to show a valid drivers license at the guard shack before attempting to scan the QR code to enter the queue lot. The name on the drivers license must match the name displayed in your Driver app in order to be allowed into the area.
  • Any passengers present during pickup must also provide a valid photo ID, as well as proof of their approved status in the Shipt app.
• To streamline the pickup process, Target asks that drivers park their vehicles in the order that they arrive, starting with the furthest left lane. 
• Put your vehicle in park and remain inside your vehicle. 
• Once you’ve parked, you’ll scan the QR code at your parking space and wait for the stoplight in front of your parking space to turn green.
  • Parking and entering the sortation center in the order that you arrive will help speed up the pickup process and reduce your travel time once you’ve loaded the packages in your vehicle.
• Proceed carefully into the sortation center. When you arrive inside, your carts will be ready and waiting. 
• Wait in your vehicle until the TV screen indicates that you can exit. 
• Make sure you have your safety vest on and proceed to load your vehicle. 
  • If you don't have a safety vest, you can borrow one from the sortation center and return it before exiting the facility. You can also purchase your own from the Shipt Shop! 
• To avoid delays and help drivers move efficiently through the pickup process, you are only allotted 30 minutes to load your vehicle in the sortation center. 

If you need assistance while at the sortation center, you may ask to speak with the onsite Shipt representative.
