ShopLidl & Shipt
The retailer not only offers home delivery, but it does so while providing customers with the possibility to choose from one of its different delivery options. ShopLidl is one of them, as Lidl partnered with Shipt for home delivery services.
The entire process is simple and goes as follows. Start by signing up for the store’s program, then place your order online or via the store’s app. A personal Shipt shopper will do the shopping for you and deliver your order to your door.
The home delivery service is available at most Lidl stores, and you can have your groceries delivered in as fast as 1 hour. You can also order wine and beer from select VA & NC Lidl stores.
To see if Lidl delivers groceries in your area, sign up with ShopLidl, and if your area is included among those the store delivers in, you should see your home address within coverage. Unfortunately, there were no pickup services available at the time of writing.
- Delivery fees
As far as delivery fees via Shipt are concerned, they differ. For a single same-day delivery, you will pay a flat $10. If you want to shop more often via this service provider, you might want to consider their Passes.
You can get 3 passes (that is, 3 deliveries) for $27, and thus pay $9 per delivery and save 10%. To help you save even further, Shipt also offers you the possibility to get 5 passes (5 deliveries) for $40, which means you will pay only an $8 delivery fee and thus save 20%.
Then, there’s the annual membership. For $99, you get unlimited deliveries for orders over $35 for an entire year. In case your order is under $35, you will pay a $7 delivery fee.
However, according to the information available on Lidl’s website, if you’re a myLidl member, you will benefit from a 3% discount on your every order on Shipt. To link your myLidl account to Shipt, go to the Shipt website or app, then to Account, and select Rewards Programs. You should find Lidl here, select it, then enter your myLidl phone number, and hit save.
Plus, it is worth considering Shipt’s membership options if you intend to use the service regularly as you can thus save in the long run.
- Delivery restrictions
Also, make sure to check the retailer’s FAQ page for more details regarding these orders. For example, myLidl coupons cannot be used with Shipt purchases but only with in-store purchases.
The 3% discount that applies if you’re a myLidl member also comes with some restrictions. It is not applied to alcohol and gift cards.

Boxed
In case you want to order more than your daily essentials online, you can try Boxed as it delivers bulk-sized packages via its website or app. What makes this an option worth taking into account is that you can enjoy the benefits of shopping without any membership fees.
Based on the information available on lidl.com, any Lidl order over $65 qualifies for free delivery. Plus, free delivery applies to all first-time orders. At the time of our research, Boxed offered a 10% discount and free shipping with code BULKNOW. However, in case your total is under $65, you will pay a $6.99 fee.
Besides the fact that you can order your favorite Lidl products in bulk, when using this service, you can schedule your delivery when it best suits you.
How to Save at Lidl
Just like Aldi, another no frills grocery retailer, Lidl stores are stuffed with many private brands and a limited selection of products, but priced lower than competitors. As you can see above, there are various ways to save or pay less for delivery when shopping at Lidl, but your savings can add up even more if you follow a few simple tips.
