Paid £50 on top of a £190 Ikea spend this week. Too much isn’t it?
Those fuckers had me over a barrel because they knew I didn’t want to have to remove the car seats and spend an afternoon collecting the shit. Also meant I bought more stuff to get the cost to p&p ratio down.
Did a click & collect at Ikea the other week which I was charged £5 for the pleasure of.
In fairness there was no way I would have joined the, I estimate, 500 person long queue to actually get into the building but a fiver for someone to hand over an object still grated…
ONE - Ordered our kitchen from them. Getting our kitchen installed (not by IKEA) at the end of march. Half of the stuff they are delivering then, for some reason the other half we had to take delivery of last week. So there’s an oven and extractor hood just sat in the dining room atm.
TWO - only after completing the order they told us a couple of drawer fronts are out of stock. So we have to just keep checking the website to arrange delivery/collection of them. And no guarantee they’ll be in stock in time for the kitchen installation.
Paid for an Ikea delivery a few weeks ago. Justified it on the grounds that if I go in person it’s £10 in fuel + £10 in Starbucks (no way I’m doing an Ikea without a treat for myself too) + a good 4 hour roundtrip + £££ on shit I didn’t want but bought anyway. Worked out about the same overall I reckon.
I think the last time I used their website it also gets you to go through a lot of the ordering process, selecting delivery, put in address etc, only to tell you at the end that the main stuff you wanted is out of stock, but they have the door hooks you wanted! DIE!
