Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd are no longer just popular food discounters. Especially online you will also find all kinds of devices, from household to technology such as TVs and smartphones to furniture or equipment for the garden. But from now on you have to dig deeper into your pocket.

If you don’t want to stand in line for the latest bargains from Aldi or if you can’t make it in time before everything is sold out again, you have the chance to switch to the online shop.

If items are delivered by a forwarding agent, an extra 29.95 euros will be charged:

According to Aldi, the step became necessary as a result of cost increases in the areas of wages, logistics services, energy and paper.

You probably didn’t know these facts about Aldi:

From now on, you should no longer rely on the fact that the purchase price in the Aldi online shop is the same as your invoice amount. Otherwise you could be in for an unpleasant surprise.
