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.
Who delivers for Aldi?
In the UK, nobody
Aldi has no delivery partner in Britain. It had one, Deliveroo, from May 2020 until January 2022, and has had none since.
In America the answer is completely different, which is where a lot of the confusion comes from.
The one partner Aldi did have here
Deliveroo carried Aldi shopping from around 130 shops. You ordered on the Deliveroo app, Aldi staff picked and packed it, and a rider brought it within about five kilometres of the shop.
It started in May 2020 with twenty shops in London, Greater Manchester, Cambridge and the Midlands, grew quickly, and then closed in January 2022 once people were back to shopping in person.
Names people search for, and what is really going on
| Service | Does it bring Aldi shopping in the UK? |
|---|---|
| Deliveroo | Not since January 2022. It works with other supermarkets. |
| Uber Eats | No. It carries other UK supermarkets, but never Aldi here. |
| Just Eat | No. |
| Instacart | No. Instacart is American, and that is where it delivers Aldi. |
| DoorDash | No. American too, for the same reason. |
| A local person you ask | Yes, if someone near you takes it on. |
So who can bring it
Other ways
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.
