Alcohol delivery laws in Idaho

Delivery in Idaho runs on the same hours as the shop sending it, 6 a.m. to 1 a.m.A delivery is a sale in Idaho, so it has to happen inside the selling hours of the shop it comes from rather than on a schedule of its own.

Who is actually delivering

The hours below are the shop's. A courier working for a retailer is bound by that retailer's window, so an order placed inside it and delivered outside it is the shop's problem rather than yours, and shops decline late orders for exactly that reason.

Licensing is separate from hours. Whether a particular shop may deliver at all depends on the permits it holds, which vary within a state, so the source list below is the law on hours rather than on who may hold a licence.

Common questions

Can you get alcohol delivered in Idaho?
Delivery in Idaho runs on the same hours as the shop sending it, 6 a.m. to 1 a.m.

When the shop's own selling window closes. Idaho treats a delivery as a sale, so it cannot happen at a time the shop could not sell over the counter.
