Airtasker and TaskRabbit
Big names with plenty of people signed up in the cities. Fees come in later on, so it is worth reading the total twice.
Aldi delivery in the West Midlands
120 Aldi shops across 77 towns. None of them deliver, so here is where to find someone who will fetch your shopping instead.
Shops are packed fairly close together around Birmingham and the Black Country, so there are usually people nearby who can help.

Who can help
Start here
Taskerama
A friendly UK site where you put up the shop you want doing and local people offer to go and do it. The whole cost is on screen before you agree to anything, which makes it easy to say yes.
- The full price is there from the start. Nothing gets added at the end.
- Your money is held safely and only released once your shopping has arrived.
- If anything goes wrong, money comes back to your card rather than as credit.
- Change your mind and there is nothing to pay.
- You can message anyone who offers before you pick.
Other ways
Ask a neighbour properly
The cheapest answer of all, and people are usually pleased to be asked. Local Facebook and Nextdoor groups are full of these.
Royal Voluntary Service or Age UK
Free volunteer shopping for older and housebound people in lots of areas. Well worth asking about early.
A supermarket that does deliver
For a big weekly shop, Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury's and Iceland all bring it round. You give up the Aldi prices, but the van comes to you.
