“I first discovered Aldi about 2010, when I moved to Llandrindod Wells. They had super products, which sometimes disappeared, only to reappear at M&S at 3 times the price. They obviously had some really brilliant buyers.
Then 2 or 3 years ago, it felt like the accountants took over, and since then the quality of the goods has gone down and down.
I love the Llandod shop and the staff are brilliant, but the range is shrinking and I am slowly buying more and more of my groceries from their competitors - pity really. I was their greatest advocate - I used to recommend them to everyone. But alas, they seem to me no longer the great value they once were.”
“I am now an Aldi convert from tesco the goods on offer are superb the freshness of the produce is astounding, nicely set out store with easily accesible shelving lots to choose from very quick till exit would i go back to tesco........no way.
Couple of things aldi could do......a self checkout or maybe a quick till exit for people with hand baskets as sometimes you get behind a few people with carts full.
Shame aldi dont do petrol as they could clean up.”
“I think the last review was a put up job personally. If it was really this good where are all the other reviews regarding it. Aldi have more negative reviews than any other supermarket. "Super" is one thing it is not.”
“I live in the LE3 district and have easy access to several Aldi stores but my favourite Aldi is the Leicester Aldi Woodgate.
It's a clean and safe store with everything I needed for my weekly shop
The store is well organised with good visual display of stocks and within easy reach.
The shelves are always well replenished with fresh quality produce.
The staff are so hard working - Lax, Leanne, Reuben, Carole, Donna and several other staff whom I am sorry to say I do not know their names.
The staff are extremely helpful and friendly and their action and behaviour has made a great deal of difference to the store. Their excellent approach to customer, excellent communication skills as well as their problem solving skills have an excellent positive impact on customers needing some assistance.
The store manager should also be credited for the good selection of quality-mix of staff who have definitely make my shopping at Leicester Woodgate Aldi MY FAVOURITE ALDI!
Well done”
“Aldi and Yodel... bad combination
Missed delivery of wine (10 bottles) so was asked to collect from Yodel depot ... went to collect to be told all bottles smashed.
Rang Aldi ... no problem with reorder ... arranged free Saturday delivery due to inconvenience caused . Arranged for delivery to parents as I wasn’t around at weekend. .... no wine delivered .... still waiting.
Called Sunday ... where is the wine ... no problem I was told .. it’s on the van for Monday (tracking will update overnight). Monday morning ... no update in tracking so called customer services ... where is the wine? No problem I was told ... it’s on the van for delivery today. Great! Made arrangements to have neighbours sign for parcel. Lunch time ... checked tracking ... indicated wine was not on van so rang customer services.
Received an apology this time .... wine not on the van no reason why I should have been told anything other.
By this time patience was running out ... asked to speak with a mgr ... was told I would be added to a ‘call list’ for a call later today!
So now .... still waiting for wine ... and still waiting for a manager to call.
What a load o£&@£.... Aldi ... you just lost a wine customer!!”
“Just want to say how amazing Aldi were today I bought an Intex 10 foot paddling pool which had various holes in the inflatable part of it... I phoned up to complain and spoke to a lovely lady named Kelly who said they are going to refund me the money for the pool and the money for delivery and as a gesture of good will have given me a voucher for £15 to use online.... they also said I can keep the pool that we already have!! Amazing service and refreshing that I didn’t have to do battle with them to get a refund or exchange!!”
“Bought 'that's it' apple and pear bars on 22nd July 2019 to find use by date is 24th April 2019. Customer services inept, did not even ask for my address. This is totally unacceptable. Goodness knows what I've eaten. Aldi should get their act together. Luckily rarely shop there.”
“Love Aldi products, but trying to make a list off their website is ridiculous! Who designed your website??!! This is the most UN user friendly website I've ever used. Shopping for a family is stressful enough so this site sent me over the edge!! Sorry but I'd rather pay a few extra quid and use Asda instead. 😥😥”
“Birmingham Edgbaston staff are courteous and always willing to help. Polite staff and super friendly. Went to buy blueberries for following day's breakfast and ended up buying so, much more - this was at 9.50pm - the staff were so caring and even offered me an old used freezer bag when I insisted I could get to my car where my bags were with the arm fulls of shopping. Always great service and lovely produce. Thanks Mo and the team - all excellent cust.service providers !”
“Wish this company were cost effective but alas, they are not. My local store is an utter disgrace. One female staff member graciously (not) moving away from front of shelving so customers could look on them. Her posture and looks were awful to behold! Next, another female member of staff was pulling a trolley loaded with a pallet full of stock around and getting in everyone's way. Is this a health and safety issue? Wouldn't mind betting it was, especially in this store's narrow aisles. Did I say which store? It was the Dover one......again it seems.”
“Aldi have more negative reviews than any other supermarket chain on this site. Speaks volumes doesn't it. The few that are otherwise don't seem genuine to me.”
“I agree very much with what you said regarding homosexuals etc etc. Same for me. No more Aldi shopping. Incidentally this applies to my whole family AND everyone I know who shopped there.”
“Shopped at Aldi since it's beginning, loved the prices and also the staff, have become mates over the last many years. As of last week, shopped at its rival. The gay women advert did it for me. oh, not anti gay as ex wife is one,and married to a woman,but to have it pressured onto me to think this is "normal", it is not. On that note, your losses will be Spars gains and also Lidls.,Aldi, you are a disgrace. I will never shop with you again.”
“Hi,
I would like just like to say that the two ladies who helped me on the telephone regarding a product, were very helpful (Lynne and Alex)
Thank you very much to you both for your polite, courteous and helpful service. First class customer service. 👏👏

“The Store at Deepdale, Preston, have the rudest staff.... no hello, please or thank you at the till despite me always saying hello.... and thank you.... one girl literally threw my receipt at me.... !
Even though it is further for me to travel I go to the aldi at queen retail park where I dislike the layout of the store however the staff are always pleasant and converse with you.”
“Just be selective? What with? Most of the products are poor quality. Actually, saying "just be selective" is in fact making it clear that many of their products are not fit for purpose, and one needs to be careful.”
