Hello,
I was told that "My shopping's just been delivered" sounded odd and "dropped off" should have been used instead. Is that true? What is wrong with deliver?

My orders / packages / mail / purchases have just been dropped off. (Informal. A friend brought them to your door and then left.)
Shopping is not the items you bought. It is the activity of buying them.
It's your choice. 'deliver' is slightly more formal.
