Say what you need
Put up your shopping list, say which Aldi, and add anything you are fussy about. It takes about a minute.
How to get an Aldi shop delivered
Aldi will not bring it, so somebody else has to. Here is the whole thing, start to finish.
People offer to do it
People nearby can send you a price. You can see their ratings and ask them anything before you say yes.
They do the shop
Whoever you pick goes to the shop, buys your list, and messages you if something is not on the shelf.
It arrives at your door
Bags handed over. Your payment is held until you confirm the shopping has arrived.
Where to find someone
Other ways
Airtasker and TaskRabbit
Two other sites where you can hire someone for an errand. Each sets its own fees, so check them on its own site before you book.
Ask a neighbour properly
It need cost nothing, and someone nearby may be glad to be asked. A local Facebook or Nextdoor group is another place to ask.
Royal Voluntary Service or Age UK
Help with shopping for older people in some areas. Ask early what runs near you, and whether there is a charge.
A supermarket that does deliver
For a big weekly shop, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Iceland all deliver. You pay their prices, not Aldi's, but the van comes to you.
Making it go smoothly
Write the list properly
Brand, size and how many. "Six eggs" and "a dozen large free range eggs" get you two different things. A minute spent here saves a conversation later.
Say when you want it
Give a window rather than a time. Most people can work around "any time Tuesday afternoon" far more easily than "two o clock".
Mention anything heavy
Cases of water, bags of compost and large packs of nappies change what car somebody needs. Say so early, so whoever offers knows.
Say if there are stairs
A third floor flat with no lift is fine if people know. It is a lot less fine as a surprise on the doorstep.
Questions people ask
What should I pay someone to do my shopping?
Whatever you agree with them. We do not know of a reliable typical price, so we do not quote one. Say how big the shop is and anything heavy, compare the offers, and agree the price before anyone sets off.
It is free to post a job on Taskerama and to compare offers. If you hire someone, a booking fee is added to the price you agree: £4.95 on a price under £30, £9.95 from £30 to £59.99 and £14.95 from £60 to £89.99, shown on every offer before you accept.
How do I pay for the shopping itself?
The tidiest way is to agree a budget, let the person pay at the till, and settle up against the receipt. Ask for a photo of the receipt and you both know where you stand.
What if something is out of stock?
Say up front what you are happy to swap and what you are not, and ask them to message you from the aisle if they are unsure. That saves everybody a wasted trip.
