Aldi self-service links
Yes, recalled products will typically appear on Aldi's website. Aldi posts product recall information under the "Product Recalls" section or in the customer service area, providing details about the affected products and instructions on how to return or get a refund.
No, Aldi’s website does not require or support account creation for general shopping. It provides information like store locators, product details, and weekly ads. However, if you use third-party services like Instacart for delivery, you’ll need to create an account with them.
Aldi customer service policies
ALDI’s return policy offers a refund and a replacement for ALDI-exclusive food products that fall short on quality. Customers bring the package, any unused product, and the receipt to a local store. A receipt is required for a refund to the original form of payment; without one, ALDI issues a merchandise credit gift card for the current retail price. The Twice as Nice Guarantee does not cover non-food ALDI Finds items, alcohol, national brands, or non-quality-related issues, though refunds or replacements may still be offered for those. Computer and electronics returns are accepted within 90 days with the receipt and original packaging. Alcohol returns are subject to state law.
Effective October 24, 2023. ALDI’s Terms of Use set the rules for using aldi.us, the ALDI mobile app, and related online services. The document covers account use, user submissions, acceptable use, electronic communications, text and push notifications, online orders and payment, intellectual property, disclaimers, and limits on liability. Section 25 is a binding arbitration clause that requires individual arbitration and waives class actions for most disputes between the customer and ALDI.
Aldi loyalty program
Unlike most major supermarkets, ALDI does not offer a traditional loyalty program. Instead, ALDI's philosophy is to provide consistently low prices to every shopper — no points, no cards, and no sign-up required. To stay up to date on their latest deals, seasonal specials, and limited-time "ALDI Finds," visit the ALDI promotions page.
Frequently asked questions about Aldi
Contact ALDI U.S. customer service via their online "Contact Us" form or by reaching out directly to your local store.
Aldi accepts a variety of payment methods, including credit cards, debit cards, EBT, and contactless payments such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Yes, Aldi offers gluten-free products, including snacks, baking items, and packaged goods.
ALDI U.S. does not publish a general customer service phone line. The most reliable paths are the online contact form for general questions and the product complaint form for product-quality issues. ALDI publishes 1-833-602-2534 for privacy and California rights inquiries, and (800) 325-7894 (Mon-Fri, 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. eastern time) for product recall questions, per CPSC notices.
Bring the product and any original packaging to your local store and ask to speak with a manager. Without a receipt, ALDI will issue a merchandise credit gift card equal to the current retail price of the returned item rather than a refund to your original payment method, per the Twice as Nice Guarantee return policy. Electronics still require a receipt and the original packaging, and must be returned within 90 days.
Check ALDI’s Product Recalls page, which lists currently active and historical recalls with product names, lot codes, and dates. Recent 2026 recalls include Mama Cozzi’s frozen pizza items (Salmonella alert, April 2026) and Simply Nature Spinach Bites (potential rodent-hair contamination, January 2026). Stop using the product and return it to your local ALDI for a refund. Consumers may also check the CPSC website and recalls.gov.
Several shoppers have reported that cashiers occasionally process a cash-back prompt without explicitly confirming it with the customer. ALDI has not formally addressed this issue. Customers who notice an unauthorized cash-back line should bring the receipt back to the store and ask to speak with the manager on duty; the refunds section of the return policy is the company’s published path for receipt corrections.
No. ALDI does not have a loyalty program, points system, or paid membership. In April 2024, the company issued a satirical press release introducing a spoof “ALDI+” membership to confirm it does not charge for any tier of access. Customers who want updates can sign up for the ALDI email list or follow the company’s social media channels.
Following the March 26, 2026 relaunch of aldi.us and the ALDI app, Instacart is the exclusive fulfillment partner for ALDI’s own website and app. Customers can also order ALDI groceries through the Instacart Marketplace or Uber Eats. Order issues such as missing items, substitutions, or refunds for delivery are handled by the fulfillment provider (Instacart or Uber Eats) through that platform’s app or help center.
ALDI does not publish phone numbers for individual stores. The company explains in its automated recordings that store employees are focused on serving in-store customers as part of its low-cost operating model. Customers who lost an item, have a billing question, or need to speak with a store manager generally need to visit the store in person or submit the online contact form.
Customers have reported shrinkflation on several ALDI house-brand items in 2025 and 2026, including Clancy’s tortilla chips and Lacura hand soap. ALDI rotates and reformulates its private-label assortment frequently, and packaging and pricing can change without an announcement. Customers can submit feedback through the online contact form.
