Have You Tried Aldi's Food Delivery?

I just bought a bunch of food online from Aldi's and got it delivered within a few hours. Someone told me about this service. Didn't know about it before. They just delivered a few bags of food. It all looks good and with an over 35.00 purchase the delivery charge is 3.99 plus 2.00 service charge or a tip to the deliverer.

Has anyone else tried them?

Not Aldi, but i did just the other day try Kroger. How did you figure tip? Kroger charges more for the service, but that doesn't mean the 'people' are getting it.

$10.00 & tip makes it a tad expensive, but when one does not feel like leaving the house ? I suppose that levels the game somewhat.
 
Have never tried home delivery from any grocery store, but seriously thinking about it in the future. Glad that most stores are now offering this service.
Nice when they put the 'tip' charge in the delivery total .... I know nothing about tipping, and what is considered the right amt. :rolleyes:
 

No never had a delivery from Aldi. TBH Aldi is a bit hit and miss..some food is very good and much of it isn't..so altho' I shop there occasionally, I like to see what I'm buying.

Actually much as I hate grocery shopping, and I do mean Hate.. I like to go to any supermarket and choose the products for myself whenever I can.

On a few occasions I've had a delivery from waitrose or Tesco (2 of our largest supermarkets)... when I've been in too much pain to drive, and they're very good.. Depending on the time slot we have the delivery it can cost absolutely zero ... and our supermarket delivery drivers here are not permitted by their companies to accept tips!!
 
Have never really considered delivery. I just like to pick out my own stuff. Most stores here have curbside pick up. You pre-order and they bring it to your car.
the home delivery is good for someone housebound. My store offers helping hands to help bring stuff out and load your car after you shop. I have used that
 
I'm not a big fan of ALDI, except for a few items, and I always shop for food in store - not on-line. Waitrose hasn't managed to get this far north so we're stuck with ASDA (part of Walmart), Tesco, Lidl and Aldi. There are smaller stores too and still plenty of independent butchers, fishmongers, bakers etc..
 
Just a few years ago, our markets were delivering themselves and not permitting tips. What was great was if they were out of a sale item they gave you a better quality or band name at no extra charge. They still do

These days some smaller stores use a third party vendor who picks up your bagged order and delivers it. They accept tips.

When I had a broken wrist I loved the shop at home service, whether they delivered or my grandson picked it all up at the store after work. But, I do prefer looking at things myself.

Like Holly, I've found Aldi to be "iffy" but for certain items, they're great.

Yuck to Asda !!!! I don't imagine for a minute that Asda (altho' owned by Walmart) is similar to walmart very much..

Shame about no waitrose, but do you even have Sainsbury? ..or M&S?

The tip was the suggested amount by Aldi's which you can change if you want but I did not. The delivery was 3.99 and the tip 2.00 It was so much easier for me to do the shopping online as I don't like carrying heavy bags up the steps.
 
I wouldn't order groceries to be delivered unless there was a reason I couldn't get to the store (like a broken leg). Things like produce and meat I like to look at before I buy. Otherwise, someone else is making decisions for you. However, if you are satisfied, go for it.
 
Today I got fresh broccoli, fresh cherry tomatoes and fresh avocados which all looked good. I also bought 2 frozen black bean burgers and 1 veggie burger pkg, mayo, EVOO, provolone cheese, multigrain bread, 1000 rolls each toilet paper, walnut halves. All items were less than I usually pay elsewhere and the everything looks good. Will let you know how the black bean burgers, veggie burgers and cheese are after I taste them.
 
In my area, Aldi uses a company called Instacart.

Instacart is the same company used by the other major chains in the area.

I haven't tried it yet but I'm tempted because they keep teasing me with $15.00 off the first order of $35.00 or more with no fees/tips.

All our supermarkets tempt with those deals too.. but they all use their own delivery drivers...
 
HollyDolly, the nearest Sainsbugs or M&S are in Aberdeen which is about 35 miles away.
The nearest Waitrose is in Edinburgh - 175 miles south of here, though I never used it when I lived in Hampshire. I forgot to mention Morrisons which have probably the best selection of vegetables and fresh meat. ASDA has gone downhill badly and I only shop there for things I can't get anywhere else.

I use ASDA and find them OK, I get roasting joints there and
they are usually Scottish beef which is very good.

I don't think that they are owned by Walmart, they never really
were, they were a member of the "Walmart Family", which is a
bit like a partnership, last year they tried to amalgamate with
Sainsbury's, but were rejected by the Monopolies Commission.

Yes they are in a bad way recently, lack of cash I suppose and I
notice that their "Booze" prices are high, in line with Scottish ones.

Occasionally I buy meat from Morrisons because it is supplied from an abattoir near here and the animals come from local farms. As for booze, ASDA prices are slightly cheaper than other Scottish stores, but I buy most 'everyday' drink in England when I'm visiting family. (quality wine, whisky etc.. are much the same price as in England. )
 
I hate ASDA..they're meat always look grey and their stores are always so dim and dark... .

I buy regularly from Morrisons, probably once a month I'll shop there. Meat is always fresh ..and they really do bake the bread instore at our local one.. I preferred it when it was Safeway tho' because they sold all my favourite Scottish foods, but Morrisons doesn't... ( apart from Haggis)
I'm fortunate that all the supermarkets are within a 15 minute drive for me... but we don't have an ASDA. Aldi or Lidl in my nearest little market town... (thank goodness)

WE do have Waitrose, Sainsbo..M&S & Tesco... ... but I can get to an Aldi and lidl, in the next towns easily on occasion...and

I don't mind Asda for cheap hardware goods..towels, summer tops.. even underwear on occasion..but food?...nope!!!
 
We don't have Aldi here, but I used to shop there, and really liked it.

My daughter-in-law used to have Food Lion deliver and loved it, at first. Then she became really irritated with it.

We now both use Walmart, and love the convenience. You have to pick it up yourself, but it's really been a big help. It's great for her because she has two small children. I'm just lazy haha. I do like to shop, but I'm too much of an impulse buyer. Heck, I have a hard time restricting myself even with the ordering.

I know what you mean about restricting ordering! There is so much I'd like to buy but have to remember I can only spend so much. ;) šŸ§:geek:

ASDA was listed on the London Stock Exchange until 1999 when it was acquired by the American retail giant Walmart for Ā£6.7 billion
