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, and it is easier than most people expect.
People offer to do it
Local people send you a price. You can read their reviews 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 money is only released once the shopping has actually turned up.
Where to find someone
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
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.
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.
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 and you will get better offers.
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?
For a full weekly shop, ten to twenty pounds on top of the shopping is the usual range, and a small top up costs less. Agree it up front and there are no awkward moments later.
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. Most people will message you from the aisle if they are unsure, which saves everybody a wasted trip.
