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 London
London has 33 Aldi shops, and none of them deliver. Getting a shop home means asking someone local, and in a town this size that is usually straightforward.

Getting a shop brought round in London
Start here
Taskerama
A friendly UK site where you put up the shop you want doing from the London shop 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.
How it works
Say what you need
Put up your shopping list, say which Aldi, and add anything you are fussy about. It takes about a minute.
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.
