Alcohol delivery laws in Minnesota

Delivery in Minnesota runs on the same hours as the shop sending it, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the outside.A delivery is a sale in Minnesota, 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.
