ALDI’s exclusive partnership with on-demand delivery service DoorDash is now officially available from most ALDI locations across Australia.

New South Wales became the final state to switch on this week, meaning shoppers can order from more than 1800 products including award-winning fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, seafood, dairy, bread and household essentials direct to their doors.

“Our partnership with DoorDash is a game changer, truly transforming the different ways people can shop with us,” said Simon Padovani-Ginies, Group Director at ALDI Australia.

“We’ve responded to what our customers have been asking for. Whether it’s midweek essentials, forgotten ingredients, weekend top-ups, or their full haul, most customers around the country can now order their ALDI favourites online and have their haul delivered straight to their doors.”

Back in July, Canberrans were the first to trial out the service with thousands of orders delivered in the first week alone.

Since then, the service has become available in most ALDI locations in Western Australia, South Australia, Queensland, Victoria and now New South Wales.

Simon Rossi, Vice President DoorDash APAC, said the partnership with ALDI is all about delivering convenience, choice and value.

“ALDI’s much-loved exclusive and value-driven range combined with DoorDash’s reliable, on-demand delivery technology means shoppers around the country don’t have to go too long between ALDI shops. We are proud to help enable this new level of accessibility for Australians,” he said.

What are DoorDash shoppers buying?

Since the trial launch, everyday essentials like fresh produce, milk and eggs are customer favourites, with items from these categories purchased in about a quarter of all ALDI orders on DoorDash nationally.

Canberrans have a sweet tooth, with shoppers in the nation’s capital choosing the sweet Belmont Biscuit Co. Chocolate Flavoured Crème Wafers 125g as their ultimate snack. While Western Australians, Queenslanders, South Australians and Victorians favour savoury bites instead:

• Sprinters Corn Chips Cheese Extreme 200g are snacking staples in the baskets of Queenslanders, Victorians and South Australians.
• Western Australians are sharers, with the Sprinters Crinkle Cut Multipack 20 Pack 380g being their ultimate go to.

A third of ALDI orders on DoorDash are placed on weekends.

“From emergency orders of nappies and wipes, snacking essentials to the full weekly shop, customers have been raving about the new level of convenience the service unlocks for them,” said Mr Padovani-Ginies. 

It is clear they are taking advantage of our partnership with DoorDash to meet their ALDI needs in a new and on-demand way, and it’s fantastic to be able to celebrate the service rolling out nationally.”
