Getting Lidl delivered in Edinburgh
Lidl does not run its own home delivery in the UK, but that does not mean you are stuck. There are three good ways to get your shopping from the Nicolson Street store to your front door, and at least one of them will work for you.
The short version
This store is very well placed for a delivery. About 607,529 people live within three miles of it. The biggest neighbourhoods within reach are Edinburgh, Leith and Morningside.

Three ways to get your shopping home
Start with the apps, because they are the fastest to check. If they do not reach you, a local helper will.
A delivery app
Plenty of Lidl stores are on Deliveroo, and some are on Uber Eats too. Pop your postcode into the app and it will tell you straight away whether the Edinburgh store can bring your shopping round. It is usually the quickest option, often within the hour.
Someone local
If no app covers your street yet, a neighbour or a local helper can do your shop and drop it at your door. You agree the price up front and pay when it arrives. Find someone nearby on Taskerama.
Order online from Lidl
Lidl also has an online shop for the bits that are not food, plus wine by the case, and that comes by post anywhere in the country. Handy for the middle aisle when you cannot get to Edinburgh.
Browse what Lidl sells to see what is on the shelves before you order.
