In a move set to revolutionise the way Australians shop for groceries, discount retail titan ALDI has officially launched its on-demand delivery service nationwide. The long-anticipated service partners with global delivery giants Uber Eats and DoorDash to bring ALDI's famously low-priced essentials directly to customers' doors.
The rollout means that whether you're in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, or anywhere in between, you can now order a vast range of ALDI's exclusive brands and weekly Special Buys without leaving your home. This strategic pivot marks a significant step for the retailer, which had previously focused on its in-store experience.
How It Works: Shopping the ALDI Aisles from Your Sofa
Shoppers can now browse a dedicated ALDI section within the Uber Eats and DoorDash apps. The process is seamless:
- Open the Uber Eats or DoorDash app.
- Search for 'ALDI' and select your local store.
- Browse hundreds of items, from fresh produce and bakery goods to exclusive Specially Selected range and wine.
- Check out and track your order in real-time, with delivery promised in as little as 30 minutes.
This model allows ALDI to compete directly with Coles and Woolworths in the rapidly growing quick-commerce sector, without the overhead of building its own dedicated delivery infrastructure.
A Strategic Play in the Quick-Commerce Wars
This expansion is more than just a convenience; it's a direct challenge to the dominance of other major supermarkets in the online space. By leveraging the existing networks of Uber Eats and DoorDash, ALDI can offer a competitive delivery service almost overnight.
An ALDI spokesperson emphasised the company's commitment to value and accessibility, stating: "We're always looking for ways to make our high-quality, low-price products more accessible to all Australians. Partnering with these delivery platforms allows us to offer a convenient new way to shop with us while maintaining the value our customers love."
The service ensures that even without a physical store nearby, customers can still access ALDI's unique product range, a potential game-changer for regional shoppers.
