Aldi to Shut Joint Online Shop on Sept. 30 as Clearance Sale Winds Down

Overview

• Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd confirm their shared webshop will close on 30 September, with remaining stock discounted, including deals reported up to 73 percent.
• The online shop launched in 2021 under the 50/50 joint venture Aldi E‑Commerce GmbH and focused largely on non‑food items alongside a few long‑shelf‑life groceries.
• Platform revenue reached €33.9 million in 2023 while losses narrowed to €4.8 million from more than €9 million, and reporting cites reluctance to invest further to compete with giants like Temu, Shein, and Amazon.
• Aldi says customers will still get free returns after the shutdown and retain statutory withdrawal and warranty rights, with existing processes such as the Aldi Süd warranty portal available.
• Other digital offerings continue, including Aldi Talk, Aldi Foto, Aldi Reisen, the retailer apps, and the ongoing 'Mein Aldi' test, though recent reports noted delivery delays for some webshop orders.
