‘Nothing stays the same’: Major shake-up coming to The Reject Shop

Shoppers looking for cheap deals at The Reject Shop are about to face another round of changes, with the discount chain quietly pulling its home delivery option as it prepares for a major rebrand.




The company confirmed it has ended its partnership with DoorDash, meaning customers can no longer order items for delivery through the app.







Delivery service cut just as Christmas stock arrives




A spokesperson told nine.com.au the retailer is not available on DoorDash 'at the moment,' while store staff also confirmed that orders have stopped being prepared.



The partnership is believed to have begun winding down in August, leaving no alternative delivery options for Reject Shop products.




The change comes only weeks before Christmas merchandise lands in stores, and just as ALDI launches its own partnership with DoorDash, giving shoppers their first chance to get ALDI groceries delivered nationally.




What’s changing at The Reject Shop


Home delivery via DoorDash has ended – no current replacement available


Christmas stock expected to hit stores in coming weeks


390+ stores to rebrand as Dollarama following July acquisition


New price point strategy and store design changes planned





From Aussie icon to Dollarama brand




The Reject Shop was acquired by Canadian discount giant Dollarama in July for $259 million, with more than 390 stores across the country set to be rebranded under the new name by 2027.




Dollarama CEO Neil Rossy said at the time: 'Expanding our international reach supports our long-term growth strategy, and we are thrilled to be embarking on this exciting new chapter with TRS's local leaders and more than 5000 employees.'

'By working together and applying Dollarama's strengths in sourcing, merchandising and retail operations, we are well positioned to deliver compelling value to Australian consumers and to drive the expansion of our new Australian growth platform over the long term,' he added.







New strategy and store changes on the way




In a quarterly update to investors, Dollarama outlined plans for The Reject Shop that include “a new price point strategy” as well as refreshed store layouts and designs.




Shoppers may have already noticed some disruption, with greeting card displays left nearly empty in recent months. A spokesperson explained this was due to clearing out the old range ahead of the launch of a new line of cards.

'We’re providing a new and exciting range of cards arriving in September across NSW and WA and early next year across all of Australia, which will be at the same great prices our customers expect from us,' the spokesperson said.



'We’ve spent the last few months selling out our previous range to make room for the amazing new range coming from mid-September.'




Did you know?


Did you know?
The Reject Shop first opened in Melbourne in 1981 and grew to become one of Australia’s best-known discount retailers. After 44 years, the Dollarama rebrand marks the chain’s first major identity shift.




What This Means For You


With delivery gone, greeting cards changing, and a complete rebrand on the horizon, The Reject Shop’s transformation into Dollarama is accelerating. For loyal bargain hunters, the next two years will reveal whether the Canadian takeover brings better value — or leaves them missing the original brand.

I think we have to face the fact that the Reject shop as we knew it is gone and replaced by something different from an overseas company. So many of our stores and business are being taken over by overseas companies. The retail landscape as we knew it is fading off as a thing of the past.
 
Good on 'Dollarama'.

I certainly wish them all the luck with their new concept of retailing here in good old 'Aussie'.

The security of employment for thousands of employees can only be described & "Louded" as exceptional. This, taking, into complete consideration of the absolute "Trying" times in the retailing industry.

We have bought many items from the Reject Shop in Port Macquarie, Mid Nth., Coast, NSW., & where we'll support "Dollarama" as well, in which, will support the local employees in their respective employment.

Boy, I am ignorant, I didn`t know that DoorDash was available from the Reject Shop. I have spent many years buying from the Reject Shop and have found so many bargains. I have noticed some changes, i.e they are getting rid of old stock. I used to buy all my cards there and many washing products, tooth paste, gardening products, empty pot plant containers, craft items. I hope Dollarama lives up to the reject shops standards.
 
It’s sad to see the familiar icon of The Reject Shop will be a thing of the past.

I’ve shopped at Dollarama many times over the years that I’ve visited Toronto. Dollarama is very popular there and is always busy.

A few years ago we lost Go-Lo which was actually better than the Reject Shop. Better quality + cheaper.

You’re not Sherril, I had no idea that Reject actually delivered at all. I do wander in occasionally, but I avoid shopping in person wherever possible. I will check out the new store one day.

I bought cards from there too. They had lovely cards - far better than anywhere else - and also cheaper. Many people throw them away afterwards anyway. It's the thought that counts. Their washing detergent (manufacturer brand, not theirs) is cheaper than the supermarket too. Their torches with the hook and magnet on the back are excellent - I know somebody who used them in their caravan while travelling if there is no power available because of a blackout. Those without the hooks are good too. Good batteries last a lot longer in them than in other torches
