Aldi ends click and collect service
Aldi is ending its click and collect service following its launch as a trial four years ago.
The supermarket will no longer offer the service at its stores after Sunday 18 August.
A notice on Aldi’s website reads: “Our click and collect service is coming to an end from the 19th August 2024. After this date you will not be able to place any new click and collect orders. We apologise for any inconvenience.”
Costing £4.99, the service allows customers to visit their local store to have their online purchases loaded into their car boot in compostable tray liners.
Aldi launched the scheme as a trial in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic.
An Aldi spokesperson said: “At Aldi, our focus is on providing customers with high quality products at the lowest possible prices.
“One of the ways we keep our prices low for customers is by running the most efficient supermarket in Britain.
“As a result, we have made the decision to bring our click and collect service to an end so we can focus on doing just that.”
