Overview
ALDI is a special grocery brand. Not only is it the cheapest of Australia's big four grocers — the quarterly Choice report says the average basket is cheapest in ALDI compared to Coles, Woolworths and IGA — it's the only place in store where you can buy designer winterwear, a six person tent, a litre of milk and a bottle of wine in the one go.
Now, ALDI shoppers in Victoria rejoice, because it's rolling out its home delivery service via DoorDash statewide, following a successful trial in Canberra last month. No more braving the winter chill or piling into a just-too-far-to-be-convenient drive to get your groceries, now a cheap weekly shop just requires you to pull out your phone — what a time to be alive.
While there's no guarantee you'll be able to secure some of the rogue middle aisle items (it seems unfair to ask a driver to fit a weighted blanket and two metres of christmas lights in one of those paper bags), it's still great news for those who are looking to cut down on food related expenses, but can't make it to their nearest ALDI on good time.
Jordan Lack, Chief Commercial Officer at ALDI Australia, said: "Since entering the Australian market, ALDI's mission has been to deliver high quality groceries at the lowest prices for Australian households and this ambition remains as strong as ever. Through our partnership with DoorDash, we can now literally deliver on this mission directly to Aussies' doorsteps in an exciting new way that we know our customers have been seeking."
DoorDash APAC's Vice President Simon Rossi added, "We know that value and convenience are top priorities for Australians, and this partnership is about continuing DoorDash's mission to combine the best of both worlds. With ALDI's trusted quality and DoorDash's on-demand delivery technology, we're excited to create more seamless and accessible shopping experiences."
ALDI is available to order from on DoorDash now, download the DoorDash app on the Apple Store or Google Play.
