"Why was the distribution of the brochures stopped?", Asks a user Aldi Süd on Facebook.
He's not the only one who complains.
The discounter giant answers.
Germany - Aldi Süd sends its latest offers to German households once a week as a program booklet.
But lately some mailboxes seem to have stayed empty.
Two disappointed customers recently complained on the Facebook page of the discounter empire.
Aldi Süd is struggling with a lack of raw materials: Customers complain about missing brochures
“It's a shame, you no longer distribute the brochures in paper form from us.
Old people without internet fall by the wayside, ”writes a customer.
So he will now visit another discounter.
Even before he did, a man had asked Aldi Süd why the distribution of the brochures had been stopped and also pointed out that not everyone had an Internet connection.
Aldi Süd answered the two immediately: The lack of raw materials caused the problem.
The tense situation in the paper market affects not only the production of brochures, but also the entire industry.
Aldi Süd brochures could also be printed less than usual in the future
The employee of the supermarket chain announces good news by assuring that there are still brochures available.
The company is also already working with the responsible suppliers to ensure that the booklets are again widely available.
However, due to the scarce resources, it cannot be ruled out that fewer brochures will continue to be printed than usual.
Empty shelves at Aldi Süd: There are also delivery bottlenecks for Christmas items
Another problem that Aldi Süd is currently struggling with is empty shelves and delivery bottlenecks for Christmas items, such as kitchen utensils or LED houses for decoration.
In addition, the discounter giant is currently lacking handkerchiefs, toothpaste, cleaning foam, shampoo and scented candles.
