“The issue with Aldi is they are sending the goods on time, but the companies who are then to deliver the items have too much demand and not enough staff or vans to deal with deman. I've had a birthday wine parcel sitting at Yodel depot in Kilmarnock since 4th November and still no movement and its 9th November. My friends birthday was 8th and I have been online several times to Yodel via Web chat and they keep stating same information the company has overload in parcels waiting for deliveries! Appalling service”

“Ordered two items online item shipped with Hermes. Over a week later the items still hadn't arrived and as always with Hermes the status was updated every day but no actual movement. I contacted Aldi Customer Service whose basic response was that there was nothing they could do about it. So I asked about a refund they said no refund till they had item back I said I had no control over the item as it's impossible to talk to Hermes, answer was the same till they got the item back no refund. So basically if the item isn't delivered or returned you still have to pay for it. Latest, items supposedly being returned to Aldi but no refund or replacement offered only if the item physically arrives will I get my money back. What's really disappointing is the attitude of staff they really don't care and give the impression that you buy from them it's their rules and if you don't like it that's tough.”

“Generally, we have been happy with Aldi, but today we had a disgusting experience. The advertisement had turkey on sale for $0.87 a pound. When we got there, the only turkeys that were at that price were 20 pounds or heavier. Anything less was TWICE as much--about $1.70 per pound! I checked the advertisement and there was no hint that this was the case. Now, you have to treat Aldi like everybody else, not an honest store.”

“Got sms to collect between 12-14.00 but parcel not there. Hermes driver came and left without leaving a parcel. No.communication from Hermes no human behind telephone number as tracking number failed to proceed call. Day 3 still no communication from them. Hermes is a joke. Provide costumer with human telephone number no computer. Give people option to.colect from local depo. 72 hours for email response from you is appalling service is standard for Hermes UK. Tracking system not updated for 3 days and no parcel.”

“I ordered 8 bottles of spirits online, this comes with a standard £4.95 delivery charge. A lot but I thought if I'm buying 8 bottles it's not too bad. Without any options I was just notified that 6 of the bottles I'd ordered have been cancelled/out of stock? So I'm receiving 2 of the 8 bottles I ordered plus that delivery charge of £4.95 Absolutely ridiculous, I wasn't offered any other option. I couldn't even find a link to cancel or complain, If this isn't resolved I'll never be going back to Aldi.”

“Aldi does little if anything to make life easier for those with disabilities. The Aldi closest to me has only one motorized cart. There is no one who helps you to your car so the cart can be returned for charging. I have emailed and spoken with Aldi management and nothing has changed. Will nor be going back.”

“Thinking or ordering Aldi Wine on line - well don't! You may have paid for wine but you won't get it. You might get someone else's. And Aldi might insist you wait in for days as they repeatedly fail to come and collect. But you wont gert what you paid over £100 for. The "customer services team" are officious to the point of hysterical. And if you tell them you have a call logger that proves they did not try and call when they said, then they shout that you had better not have recorded the call (and all their gaffs) and hang up on you. The rest of the time they promise to have resubmitted your order when they haven't. In my expirience, Aldi are consistentantly a bad company. Out of date food on shelves, long queues, rude staff. zeros customer service. Hardly any cheaper that other mainstream shops now yet they think they can treat people anyway they like.”

“Really poor customer service. The queues are long and few tills.on. Then they put another till on and you fo too it but get told they are now closing that till because the guy has to go pack the beans away or soemthjgn. Their policy is that they don't employ till staff. So if you get served or not depends on what the staff have to do elsewhere. Don't try to even talk to the manager or argue Toru point because they will kick you out of the store.”

“I bought several bollard type solar lights last summer, costing circa £14-15 each. After a few months one of them failed. I returned it to the shop and was told refunds to the shop are only allowed within 60 days and I needed to contact the manufacturer. I did this in April and was told to contact Aldi customer services. I was answered in German!! As Aldi are a huge company in the UK, this was the 1st hurdle; I didn’t expect being answered by a German call centre. As requested, I emailed the company in the UK. Again as requested I photocopied the receipt, photographed the faulty product, ditto the label with product code etc. etc etc….. This in April, then again, and again, and a-g-a-i-n……… Probably about 6 times in total and still I’ve got NOWHERE!!! I really can’t believe a major company can be so completely, utterly and breathtakingly incompetent!! NEVER buy anything but food at Aldi, as anything that needs returned will leave you whistling in the wind for a response. Useless Customer Services dept. I’ve ever encountered….”

“New store in Leyland, Lancashire. No issues with the food shop, but I'm constantly horrified by the lack of care to the plants for sale that usually surround the entrance. Surely they could rota their staff to water them once a day. All this waste gets passed on to the consumer, not to mention unnecessary non recyclable plastic pots that will go to landfill. Either stop selling them and leave it to the garden centres, or pull your finger out and get this continuing issue sorted. It happens all over supermarkets, it's really bad management.”

“Items advertised online are frequently shown as out of stock on the same day they are released for sale. And contacting them to complain is nigh on impossible.”

“I went to Aldi of Missouri Clearwater on August 10, 2021 at 2.30pm. I took 2 cabbages as is stated at 50 cents each. When l check out at the register the cashier wants to charge me $4.45. l said is stated as 50 cents each so she should at least honor it. So she announce at her walkie talkie to remove the signage and change it to 59 cents a pound. I went to the associates a tall thin guy and said that they should at least honor their signage. The associates was in the midst of changing the signage and I demand to see a manager. He took the signage away. I said you cannot do that you should at least honor it before you change it. A supervisor came who is rude and adamant and said he cannot honor that, is either l take it or leave it. I told him the sign said 50 cents each cabbage and he said that is how it is worded. I asked him what is the meaning of each, he said that is how is worded but it is per pound. If it is so why did the associates stick the per pound sign after l highlighted to them. As such, in all fairness sir You tell me what is the meaning of each cabbage does it go by pound. In your expertise l am sure you know each is definitely means each and not per pound. I strongly hope Aldi management at least honor their signage and sell me 2 cabbages for a dollar as is 50 cents each. I demand JUSTICE AND APOLOGY AND NOT BEING HUMILIATED BY YOUR STAFF. .”
