    Worst experience! Give my $800 back, Ikea! Short story: My $800 Farlov sofa order was never delivered as promised by ikea and my subsequent refund request also never happened after months! My $800 just disappeared without a trace. Ikea, stop acting like a scam company. Long story: Part 1: Called customer services multiple times where my sofa was. They always promised to deliver my sofa in the coming weeks. On the scheduled delivery day, I waited at home and watched my phone all day to avoid missing ANY calls, but every time, there was no one called me or my building and I wasted my time waiting at home like an idiot. This happened in 5-6 re-delivery attempts to the point where I decided to call to cancel my order and have a refund.

    Part 2: Hell I didn't know my nightmare didn't stop in part 1. After my refund request, I waited for two weeks, because it takes Ikea 6-8 business days to process a refund. After two weeks, I still didn't get the refund per my bank statement. Called customer the 10th time, and they asked me to call my bank lol. I didn't give up and ask Ikea customer services to check again, and they found that the local store (Schaumburg), instead of issuing a cash refund, had issued a STORE CREDIT without even mentioning to me or getting my consent.

    Furniture was delivered today. I’m assuming the person that helped me on their online chat gave the wrong information. I’ll advise future customer call instead of online chat.

    Original Review: July 10, 2021

    I'm at home waiting for my delivery and no one call or email me notifying that my delivery will no longer be here today. As matter as facts they don't even know when it will be delivery. I understand things happens with delay, but they should have notify customers that the delivery will not get to them at least the day before. If I never called I would be home all day waiting for this. It's very disrespectful.

    I have shopped at Ikea for years and have always loved it. This was my first time using the delivery service because the bed I wanted to order for my daughter was unavailable in store and I didn't want to wait the extra time for it. When I placed the order on 06/16/2021 I chose the delivery date 6/23/2021 and waited patiently for it. I received a call on the day of that it would be delivered between 12pm-4pm, but I was unfortunately at work and didn't realize someone needed to be home to accept the delivery. I called as soon as I left work to reschedule the delivery and the woman was very helpful and understanding. It was rescheduled for 6/30/2021 and I made sure that someone was home from 9am-9pm, the time they put on my delivery confirmation. But I received no phone call, no message from the delivery driver, no contact whatsoever.

    I then tried to call customer service for the next two days and every time while on hold, my call would be dropped. When I finally got through 7/2/2021, the woman I spoke to said the delivery was noted as "Failure to Deliver". I asked her if there were any other notes since someone was home all day and there was no other communication from the delivery company. So I had to reschedule for a second time for 7/14/2021 between 9am-9pm. My daughter is sleeping on a mattress on the floor because the delivery service has failed to communicate properly with me about when they will be delivering my product. I paid a $129 delivery fee for this terrible service and I couldn't be more disappointed. I will never order delivery through Ikea again, especially with such a high delivery price tag. They need to contact T-Force, the delivery company used in my area, because someone is dropping the ball and it is costing them customers.

    Stay away from IKEA... Very poor Customer Service!!... I was sold a storage item that was wrongly tagged by IKEA and they are refusing to take its responsibility. On the contrary, their so called 'Customer Experience' agent got very rude and said 'if I had to trust every customer, I would be out of my job'... I was hoping they would take responsibility of this and ship me the replacement item as I live nearly 60 miles away from the store. Unfortunately, they did not do so, and instead started asking me for proof that the display item was wrongly tagged. The only proof I had was the picture taken from that day that showed the wrong tag. But they did not accept that and told me that their policy wouldn't allow them to have the item picked from my residence or refund me for that amount without I having to bring the product to their store in person or pay for its return shipment...

    Truthfully the worst customer service any customer has ever provided. I placed an order on May 13 w/ a delivery date for May 14 (they followed up with a confirmation and everything.) The next day I was waiting for the furniture to be delivered during the entire delivery window they had given me -- the window came and went and no furniture was delivered. Never received a phone call/text (as was supposed to happen). I then tried to call customer service, sat on hold for an hour and by the time I got through the line was told they were closed and was hung up on. Then received a text that said my delivery failed because I wasn't home. I then rescheduled my delivery a total of FOUR times, each time was "failed" because I wasn't home -- which I was home every time.

    They then marked the delivery as completed on June 4 -- which it was not. I eventually just purchased what I needed elsewhere (which was better quality -- might I add), and when I tried to call to get my money refunded I waited for an hour to speak to a representative and when I finally reached someone they hung up on me....then had to wait on hold for another hour. Honestly, if you're gonna shop here, make sure you're doing so in a way where you don't have to deal with any people because they don't help at all.

    Worst delivery service one can imagine. They don't have an accurate system to track your orders' status and customer service wants you to contact third party delivery company for any issues after waiting an hour on the line. Supposedly, the website should allow you to cancel/reschedule your order but since the order status is not accurate, it's not even feasible. If you're willing to go to store, go ahead but don't BOTHER delivery service assuming it's convenient.

    Purchased over $400 in product today for pickup. Upon arrival I parked and checked in at the site noted on the parking spot. The employee they sent to my car said that items were missing from my order. I drove around front to speak to "customer service". After driving over 80 mi because this particular location had 4/5 of the items I wanted to purchase, "customer service" told me that I would have to come back to pick up the missing item because they could not access them during store hours. If you as a business cannot provide the service you advertise, just don't. IKEA needs to offer NEXT DAY CURB SIDE SERVICE to ensure they can do what they say they can. Phone "customer service" was just as "helpful", useless.

    My first experience at IKEA will be my last. Saturday, March 20, 2021, I drove an hour and a half from my home to IKEA. I was so excited for my first time, as I am a huge lover of interior design and home decor. I went in after some research looking for some clear dining chairs. I fell in love with the TOBIAS chair and had my mind set on getting them. I looked on the website that morning to confirm they were in stock before my drive. After walking through the showroom and grabbing some additional cute things, I went to go and grab the chairs. I find the aisle and bin only to find bottoms and not the tops. I look around to make sure they weren't misplaced and go and ask a team member for help.

    I looked again on the website, where it showed there was still availability for them. He looks at his tablet and it shows inventory on the chairs are 14. He walks me down the aisle and says, someone might have bought them and forgotten the bottoms that more chairs would be in on Monday. Disappointed, I returned to the showroom to see if any other chairs would work. I saw about 6-7 of the clear TOBIAS chairs on the floor and thought I would ask another team member if those can be sold since I made such a far drive. Again, to my disappointment, floor models cannot be sold unless they are discontinued. She said they can be ordered and shipped to my house, to go back to the self-serve warehouse and have someone build an order for them. I spoke with a manager, who waived the delivery fee, and said I can come pick them up the next day, Sunday, at the store, that they were getting another shipment.

    So, one person told me Monday, another told me Sunday, the website shows availability on the chairs, and the inventory on the team members tablet showed availability as well. There is so much inconsistency. So, I go ahead and have the team member order the chairs for me to ship to my house since it was a far drive for me. The team member guaranteed the chairs would be delivered by Monday. I hadn't checked my email until Monday morning, to see an email from IKEA, excited, hoping it was shipping details. No, it's an email from SATURDAY, the day I put in the order, stating they are out of stock. The day the team member ordered them for me. So easily my money was taken but they weren't even available. AND to this day, I’m still waiting for them to return my money for them. I am appalled, disappointed and so unsatisfied with my experience with this company. I will never recommend or shop here ever again. Ever. This is so ridiculous.

    It is my first time ordering items from Ikea. I would love to provide 5 start review but unfortunately, IKEA has failed me miserably. I ordered a set of 6 pieces of cookware and 2 separate frying pan (7” and the other 9 ½”) so the total should be 8 pieces altogether. The order was placed on 03/25/21. When the order arrived at the FedEx location, I was never notified that the order is ready for pick up. I came by FedEx to pick up the order today 04/05/21. The box is extremely light for 8 pieces. I looked at the label and it said 2.1 lbs. I open up and only one item, a 9 ½ “ frying pan in there, which is one of 8 pieces. The rest of my items is unknown.

    I called the customer service number. The ladies answered the phone and asked me if the items were supposed to ship to California. I told her no, the ending address suppose to be in Colorado. She then apologizes that she was reading the origin address and not the destination address. I told her the issue. She then proceeds to tell me this issue needs to go to tier 2 for an assistant. I have been on hold for a tier 2 person for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Scott was the tier 2 person I finally spoke to. After he took down my order number, name, email address, billing address, etc…He also asked what items I received and what I items were missing, then he said he need to create a case# and researching the issue. So I was back on hold again.

    Scott came back and told me that the 6 pieces of cookware were on backorder and he does not know when they will be available. When I placed my order, the system didn’t inform me this item is on backorder. I asked him why the customer was not notified that part of the order is on backorder. And what happened to the 7” frying pan that is available but not ships together with the other 9 ½” I received in the box today. Scott does not have an answer to either of my questions. He said all he can do is ship out your 7” frying pan on 04/16/21, today is 04/05/21. I asked how will I know when the backorder is ship out or not, will I be notified. The answer is unknown.

    IKEA charged my CC for the total amount purchased and let me chased after that them for items, not ship or on backorder. Furthermore, there is no chat online for customer service. When you call the customer service number 1-888-888-4532, the wait time to spoke to anyone is 1-hour plus. I would never purchase anything with IKEA again.

I therefore accidentally selected a store too far from me. I used chat to see if it could be changed. The chat agent did not speak my language and was rather rude about sharing the policy that they could not help me and I would not be able to have my money returned for up to 15 days! When I said this was unacceptable, I was give a customer service number. After a 10 minute hold. I was told I could be transferred to another return department. I was transferred and hung up on after I listened to a message saying they could not help me...I find this inconvenient and unjust. I want my money back today or tomorrow without a hassle.

    In November of 2020, I ordered an Alex drawer unit. The delivery was set for a month out ($50 extra for shipping). On the day it was to be delivered, a completely other item came instead (a desk). I promptly called IKEA to let them know that the wrong item had been delivered. A mix-up, these things happen -- and they initiated a refund while saying that I could keep the desk. Great. I had not received a refund well into January, almost a month and a half later.

    I tried for several months to order the same item or another, larger Alex unit from the Atlanta store with no success. Finally, in March of 2021, the larger Alex drawer unit was in stock to order and the shipping was only a week out. So I paid the $50 shipping again, hoping this time things would be different. March 8 was set as the date of delivery. March 8th came and went. I thought "Hey! I'll just give it some time. That shipping did seem quick." So I waited a week, still nothing from IKEA or the delivery company. I called IKEA on Monday, March 15. They see that the items are with the delivery company and asked if I would like the number. I'm sorry but isn't that IKEA's job to track the order down and make sure it arrives?

    I decide to be patient again and see if the order arrived that same day or the following day. When the order didn't arrive on March 16 either, I called IKEA AGAIN -- this time to get the name and number of the delivery company. I called the delivery company, waited for an hour or more but couldn't get through. So I find the delivery company, Pilot Air Freight, online. Using the IKEA tracking number, I look up the order through their site. They had the actual delivery set for Tuesday, March 16 after all, but it obviously never arrived. So I "rescheduled" the delivery for Thursday, March 18 for 11:00 am to 3:00 pm. Thursday came and went, still no update from the delivery company nor IKEA. So AGAIN, I call IKEA -- they say they will get in touch with the delivery company and CALL me back.

    I did not receive a callback from either entity. So again, I called IKEA today, March 19. The resolutions department tries again to contact Pilot Air Freight. This time, IKEA says that the delivery company has lost the order or can't find it. My only recourse is to take a refund and try to track down the drawer at an actual store. I am completely frustrated by this point and the IKEA resolutions department refuses to put me through to someone who can help. Instead, I call back to get someone else -- this time, they tell me that the item will be discontinued in July, so there probably won't be any more in production. So in actuality, the likelihood of me finding one in the store or ordering again is futile.

    So to recap. Order in November 2020, wrong item arrives, a refund takes a month and half. Order in March 2021, items never arrived, and spend countless hours tracking my order down only to find the delivery company doesn't have it and all IKEA can do is refund me money and tell me to go look for the items in a store. I’m completely skeptical that my refund will even arrive at this point.

    My first inclination was to chalk it up to my expectations being too high. The way shopping online nowadays is and how quickly you can get things from Amazon, it’s easy to have high expectations. However, IKEA's support, ordering (giving stock indications online only for them to disappear or not actually be in stock), and their shipping practices are something more akin to the archaic online shopping of the mid-2000's. The problem doesn’t seem to be my expectations, but IKEA’s expectations of themselves, that they just can’t seem to measure up to.

On Monday 3/1 I received a phone call letting me know that my delivery would occur in 30 minutes. It never arrived. I called Ikea that evening to inquire where the product was, initially I was greeted by a young man who left me on hold for about 30 minutes. Then I was greeted by a young woman who told me that the piece was on backorder and that it was never intended to arrive today. They told me that my only option now was to receive a refund.

    Having recently arrived as an international scholar in Chicago, I was in need of new furniture. But the hope that ordering from IKEA would be a fast and cheap solution turned out to be the completely misguided. What I experienced/am experiencing is the antithesis of fast and cheap. It is not fast ---- Currently I am awaiting the 5th attempt to deliver my order. What happened in 4 previous ones? Two things. First. After delaying the hour of delivery on the day of delivery, the delivery company would fail to show up. Without giving you a call, they will later on simply lie that nobody was present. Know that there is a custodian present 24/7 in the apartment complex who sees and receives everyone in front of the building. Second. The delivery succeeded but with a few single items of the almost 50 item order were being handed over.

    Don't try to contact the delivery service yourself since you'll be put on a seemingly infinite time hold. I have never been able to reach them. The IKEA customer service is reachable but a complete disaster. Every time you contact them be prepared to spend more than 3 hours of waiting, being reconnected and thrown out of the system (after which you'll have to start all over).

    It is not cheap ---- Four times I had to take time off work to be able to receive my order. Take that plus the hours of dealing with a Kafkaesque customer service. Then there is the fact that because of their incompetence to live up to the agreed delivery date I was forced for a month to sleep on a mat in my apartment improvising how to get through the day. Ordering at IKEA came with a much greater cost than the price of their goods.

    Conclusion ----- I believe that what I'm experiencing is a cover-up on the side of IKEA. They are short in stock because of issues concerning the COVID-19 pandemic but are dishonest about it to the customers. Of course that still doesn't explain the delivery services and their utterly utterly deranged behavior. Maybe they are playing along or just never received any items.

    We began our Ikea kitchen design last October and it is now mid February. After purchasing the parts needed to build our kitchen, we have been met with a series of errors and crappy compromises. First off, we have an average sized kitchen and ordered basic cabinets and they still never got the order straight. We paid $79 for an official measurement and that measurement was incorrect. The excuse was new staff.... After 3 deliveries of random goods, delivered to the sidewalk in front of our house, we also had to go buy more parts and return wrong parts 9 times within a month and a half. All during a Global pandemic and no phone payments or orders taken. We had to travel south 40 minutes each time, go into the corn maze and pay and then drive 5 more miles east to their warehouse for pick up.

    Our final plan shows the upper cabinets going to the ceiling but when they were building it out we were told that was not an option/not part of the plan? We used Traemand because supposedly they know how to build Ikea designs but they proved to be a huge disappointment and were a integral part of the confusion with all the conflicting parts we ended up with.

    The final straw was that they built one whole side of our kitchen incorrectly. We could not open our fridge because the wall oven and microwave area was too close to the fridge door. Keep in mind we gave the Ikea designers and Traemand all appliance cut out dimensions in the design and build phase. The only resolution Ikea had was to have Traemand move our cabinets on that wall 2 inches to the right. This required that our countertop on that side be removed. American Marble works in conjunction with Ikea kitchens so we used them. Ikea would not agree to anything unless we came into the store once again and pay an additional $1300 dollars for a new countertop, in the event they could not use the original one. What could we do? We were stuck with appliances that could not be installed! We paid thinking they could reuse the piece since it was a simple cut that only needed to be shortened 2 inches on one side.

    Traemand came back out and all fits somewhat but the appliances still look crowded on that side so not aesthetically pleasing. While waiting for American Marble to reinstall, they took forever to get back to us, insisted on a $225 measure appointment for that minor adjustment that could have been done on site. When I finally called and asked what the delay was they said the countertop for that side needed to be remade and it would be another 2 weeks. At this point I lost it. I questioned why they needed to replace that piece and they said they didn't know (I'm just a scheduler). I guess it's easy to just press that button and buy when the expense is on another person.

    After sending a nasty email to the trio (Ikea, Traemand and America Marble), I was told by American Marble that they could actually reuse that countertop piece after all. Still 2 weeks to wait for a half hour install. I still haven't gotten a response from Ikea. Also, the Traemand carpenters had to Jerry rig an area on that messed up side so when Best Buy came to install the wall oven and microwave with trim kit, no go. It doesn't fit. Traemand excuse was we didn't use Ikea appliances. Funny appliances are all standard sizes and we weren't told any of that when we gave them the cut out dimensions over 3 months ago.

    We since hired a Task Rabbit to come and resolve their screw up. I can't wait to have to go back into Ikea and try to get a refund for that additional countertop we paid for, The moral of this long story is you get what you pay for! I chose Ikea because I love the modern look and the price seemed good. In the end, it would have been better to see out a more professional, quality cabinet designer and builder. God knows what I will be paying for therapy and blood pressure medication in the future!

    Ikea may have great products and be very affordable, but their chosen delivery service - NAL - is abysmal. They do not deliver when they promise and they do not give the promised 30 minutes' notice of delivery. When they fail to give this notice and call 5 minutes before they arrive, they growl that they "can't wait". Requiring their delivery partners to observe their stated policy of calling to notify customers 30-40 minutes ahead would solve everything but that is clearly not their priority. Pay extra at any other furniture site to get more reliable delivery! Dealing with Ikea's terrible delivery service is just not worth the headache!

    IKEA's return policy was and may still be 90 days to get your money back not store credit. I return an item for 12 dollars on day 93 ... they refused to give me back what I had paid ... I got a card, and had to waste my time get some junk for $5 since there was nothing else had any need or desire for. This was about 4 years ago. I just found the card and threw it out. I used to spend over $300 a year at IKEA for several years but have never gone back because of this incident. They do not have many convenient locations either. A normal business would take into consideration the amount of a refund and how many days over some specified time is involved ... the gist being to retain customers, a policy which IKEA has proven to NOT be something they care about.

    Terrible customer service. Ordered a plant pot; paid a large shipping fee (didn't want to visit store due to COVID + it's an hour drive each way). Pot arrived wrapped in one layer of bubble wrap, knocking around in a huge box, broken in pieces. Took pictures, attempted to contact IKEA. Phone numbers looped into "We cannot take calls at this time due to high call volume, send us an email" with no option to leave message. No options to file claim online that matched the situation; no email contacts available online that I could find.

Got an email in response a couple days later from US_CSC_Aftersales @ ikea.com asking for info that I'd already provided. Sent them the info they requested plus picture of how the item arrived.

    I love Ikea designs. I don't like that much that you have to put together the furniture. If you are going to sell me half of the job done ✅ you should charge me half of the price. And the delivery is on me too? What are these people doing? They have all profits no costs? Really? How we arrive to this place? I think everything is overpriced if you consider you are putting the furniture together. They only sell you the plans and the raw material. They don't even cover the cost of the delivery. And the furniture is not such a good quality to justify the price but yes I love the design. Another bad point for this chain at least where I've been that was somewhere in S.F Valley in L.A. inside a mall. It took us forever the line to pay. There was too many people not enough cashiers.

    Hi, I am trying to get some assistance and none of the channels is answering. Extremely frustrated with IKEA service. I made a big order and paid extra to have express delivery. For my surprise, the products were delivered by taxi drivers that I had to help and one of the products were damaged, not their fault is just that they didn't have proper training and equipment to carry it properly.

    The second problem is that items of my order were not delivered and still with no estimation when it will be. No contact from IKEA about my missing products and I don't have any channel to complain to. I tried to call customer service several times, but after 15min on the phone, I give up. So, I am still waiting for my missing products and my delivery fee to be refunded as it was not delivered on the expected date.

    I ordered three small kitchen items for delivery. 2 items were fine, but a mortal and pestle came with the box damaged (inside the undamaged shipping box), had obviously been opened, the edge of the mortar was chipped, and the pestle looked used. I believe this product had been sold and returned. Reselling used items without disclosing that fact is poor service, especially when it is a food related kitchen tool.

    I attempted to contact their customer support, but had no luck with their phone number, and the email option states they only accepted emails for returns. I would like a replacement. I have always found their stores to be quite a good experience, but I no longer live within a reasonable driving distance. I shouldn't have to return "used" items sold as new.

Second delivery in November also incorrect, received wrong part, which they will not take back unless I take it to a local store myself.

Customer service call- they won't pick up the heavy big box that was incorrectly delivered, I have to get rid of it myself. I waited 10 weeks, spent 3 hours on the phone with customer service: No refund, no reimbursement, $30 consolation gift card. And now I have a big heavy box on my porch, a product I didn't order. I have shopped Ikea my whole life, I used to say I'd wear their clothes if they made them. But I will never order delivery again- what a disaster.

I found the dresser I wanted and as I walked to register to pay, a woman walks up to the dresser. I told her “miss I’m purchasing that dresser.” She disregarded me and began to put it on her cart. She knew I was in line to purchase it. I got out of line, and headed to stand in the way of her cart. I told her “why would you do that if you knew I was paying for it." It that scene the managers rushed over. They told me if she was the one snatching it that it was hers. I told them... “that doesn’t make it right." She knew I was in line to pay for item. It was too big for me to carry on my own. I told them, "Look at the cameras." They ignored me.

    I told them, “So it’s ok for someone who is in line for a parking spot and someone just pulls into the space disregarding the person waiting.” That’s ok too. “We should all act like wild animals and disrespect others,” I said to the manager. Most of managers sided with me but the one who had final say sided with her. It was disappointed. I was very tormented and in these days that is a very dangerous situation that escalated quickly.

Ikea isn't accepting customer service calls. The recorded message tells you that you can get everything done on line — track your order, reschedule delivery etc. But when you go online, your only options are the incorrect tracking info and the only emails being accepted are order cancellations.

They all say they are unable to assist me but will elevate my call. Each time they put me on hold to do this, I get a message that they don't have the capacity to take my call and hang up. I'm now out hundreds of dollars and can't even get a call through. I used to love Ikea but this is completely unacceptable.

    Four years ago, we bought a kitchen brand new from IKEA, and spent over 7000€ with installation from their experts. The installation itself was close to 1000€. Everything seemed fine until the day we had to move: As we started disassembling the kitchen, we noticed the lack of professionalism by their contractors when carrying out the installation:

    - They never bothered to clean up the furniture and floor before installing the units. Once we started taking off the countertop and pulled the furniture away from the walls, we discovered heaps of sawdust.
    - Numerous base parts (the plastic "feet" supporting the bottom cabinets) were not screwed as they were supposed to.
    - None of the cabinets (except for the hanging ones) were secured to the wall, even though - according to IKEA'S installation guide - this would have been required for safety reasons (and, in hindsight, explains the occasional tilting.

    - The gap between the (wooden) counterpart and the skirting running along the wall was not sealed with silicone, resulting in excessive mold.

    So what did we do? We lodged a complaint. Ikea's response: Installation is not covered by any warranty, there is nothing they can (or rather want) to do about it. Further messages we sent to IKEA through various channels were simply ignored - the company's customer support clearly has no interest in even just trying to remedy the situation.

    They missed the point of my complaint: It was not about the guarantee but rather the lack of professionalism and attention to detail that caused us to throw away moldy countertops, broken feet and left us with a mess caused by the workers. It is not our job to babysit IKEA'S contractors to see that they do the job right or look under everything to see if the installation was done right. But unfortunately IKEA refuses to assume any accountability for the workers they commissioned. I was hoping to solve this amicably, but since IKEA'S customer support does not care to reply anymore, I am hoping public shaming may shed some light on the way IKEA treats its customers once they leave the store.

    The item I bought was dispatched without any confirmation on IKEA's end. I kept checking my email and the IKEA website for updates but it kept showing that my order is being processed days after the estimated delivery date. I had to call them and wait to speak to a representative for an hour. Turns out my order was delivered to a neighbour and they didn't even bother to leave a note. After I finally got my item I had the pleasure to go through the most incompetent assembly instructions I've seen in my life. It seems like IKEA is doing everything to make it as hard as possible for their customers.

    My wife and I walked through Ikea in Woodbridge, VA and were enjoying the products. We were there to buy furniture. The guy helping in that department was nice, but said we needed to pick it up downstairs, but saw I was limping from an injury and suggested something to the affect of having someone there get it for us. He told us to take a picture of the info for them downstairs to get the furniture. Well, we went to checkout where the line was small, but they told us to go back to another desk. By the way...knee injury. Then, at the other desk, they stared at us like umm, then said you'll have to get it yourself. So, finally I went and got it myself. So then we go back to checkout...had to be 30 people in line. No moving in about 10 to 15 minutes of waiting.

    Then, they opened up a SECOND LINE.... ew, however we could not see it from where we were, but the 20 people behind us could. Instead of filtering the people into the two lines, it was like helter-skelter and at least 20 people behind us raced like a herd of cattle being driven into the slaughterhouse running into the line in front of us. After about an hour, we finally checked out. The experience was so poor, I would prefer to buy used furniture instead of going through that store again. It is a shame because we like the stuff there, but the experience was just so bad.

    I wish there was a no-stars option, because that is what I would prefer to choose. I am trying to order a kitchen through Ikea. I am extremely frustrated with the process. I managed to get the professional measuring tech to my house and that person did a great job. He said I would get an email with the measurements, which I did. There was a link to the Ikea website, and it was a disaster after that. After completely losing my cool with frustration, my partner managed to figure out after over an hour (I'd already spent an hour trying to figure things out) that a checklist needed to be done before planning. THERE IS NO PLACE ON THE WEBSITE THAT TELLS YOU THIS. Once that was done, we were able to see all the measurements. It took another hour to figure out how to make a virtual appointment for planning. The website does not give instructions on how to do anything--apparently they assume that one knows how to do all this.

    After all that, I was unable to get back into my account. It would not recognize my password. Many, many attempts, all unsuccessful. Was then unable to see the checklist. The store is about 60-70 miles from my home. We drove there and were fortunate enough to be able to spend a little time with a kitchen planner, who was able to pull up the planner and roughed out a little of it for us. He was very kind and explained things well. Next day, I wanted to see the planning. Was unable to sign in (again).

    I tried to find a customer service or tech support number since there is no email except for cancellations, and no chat. Went through the menus and then it said they were unable to answer due to high call volume, goodbye. This is the worst sort of customer service imaginable. There is only one phone number and it hangs up on the caller. My frustration level was extremely high. I spent another hour trying to find someone, anyone, to talk to. Finally found someone who kept talking over me and not listening to what I had to say. She transferred me to "Ikea Family", whatever that is. Waited on the phone 45 minutes before someone answered, who, although he tried, ultimately was not able to help me. I still don't have access to my account, but I did figure out that in creating a profile, there is already a password there that I did not create and don't know what it is.

    I sincerely hope it gets better after this, because I don't think it could get worse.

    We love IKEA products, but IKEA customer care is dismal! We made a relatively large online order three months ago. After waiting a month for the items to ship, 9 of the 68 items never arrived. The shipping company had no idea where the rest of our order was, and told us to contact IKEA. Shortly after the shipping company left, we received an email from IKEA that stated our order was complete and all items had been delivered. Our emails to IKEA went unanswered and hours were spent on hold waiting to talk with customer care.

    After finally getting through, the representative tried to blame the shipping company initially, and then offered to ship out 4 of the 9 missing items and to refund the other 5 items (5 of the items were not currently in stock and the refund was to be received in 7-14 business days). When I asked how I could receive the items I had already purchased I was told that I could check back on the website whenever I wanted. This was unacceptable and I was finally escalated to the manager who offered me a 50% shipping credit for a future order (that I could only receive by calling back into IKEA – which is somewhat worthless at this point since it takes 10-15 tries to get through to customer service.) Nobody offered to fix the problem and get us the items we purchased.

    After waiting a week for a confirmation email of the next shipment (and a time for when I could expect the replacement delivery), I spent another 2 hours calling and finally getting through to a customer service agent who confirmed the shipment and sent me an email confirming the date of shipment. When this replacement order arrived, two of the four items were again missing in the shipment. After the shipping crew left, we received another false email from IKEA that our order was complete and all items had been delivered.

    More emails to IKEA went unanswered and many more hours spent on hold waiting to talk to customer care. When we finally got through again, this representative was less than helpful. This representative reordered the two missing items to have them shipped out. After weeks of waiting for our items to be shipped, we received an email from the shipping company that only one of the two items in our order were in the shipment. After calling IKEA again several times, we finally got through and were given a third refund for the same missing item, but with no solution to ever get us the item.

    Over three months we have been promised and paid for many items that were oversold many times, sent several detailed emails, spent numerous hours on hold and on the phone with representatives and managers, and we still don’t have the items that IKEA told us they would ship us three times. We would have expected after the first botched order for a representative to figure out which items were missing and take the responsibility to track down the next supplier shipment and make sure the missing items were delivered to us.

    We understand, mistakes happen. Instead, the entire burden to solve this problem has been continually put on us! They only way we can receive the items we originally ordered is to check every day to see if the items are in stock again. However, we have lost faith in IKEA’s ability or integrity to actually ship what we purchase since they continue to oversell their merchandise. Our IKEA customer care experience has been exhausting, ineffective, and uncaring. Empty words and platitudes repeated from customer service training were disingenuous because the representatives and managers lacked the authority and resources to solve any of our problems. To put it simply…customer care never cared.

    On August 7th, I ordered two bedframes, 2 sets of slats and 2 mattresses for my daughter and her roommate for their college apartment. There was a glitch on the Website so I had to call a CSR to order which took 45 minutes. The CSR was polite - it just took a very long time for a simple order. I selected delivery for Monday, August 31st and it was confirmed. I was told that my daughter would be notified of a slimmer delivery window the day before delivery, but that did not happen so she and her roommate traded being home 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Nothing arrived. Today we tried multiple times to call Customer Service and were both repeatedly disconnected. We were able to find Delivery information using the truck icon on the website where we learned that the 5 items are being delivered tomorrow - 48 hours after the scheduled date.

    It's not the end of the world, but the lack of notification of the delay and use of an unreliable delivery company is very disappointing. We began using IKEA in Sweden in 1998 and have used it in London and other US cities - in person it's a top notch, well- run organization. My advice is to shop in store and bring your items home yourself if you are in the United States.

    There are no words to express how utterly disappointed I am in IKEA and your handling of your online orders. It is absolutely understandable that you have had to make logistical changes to your operation during a time like this; however, a lack in handling of proper customer service is not only damaging to your consumer and reputation but also to your employees who are trying to cope with all of this. I placed my order on May 4th, and I have been patiently waiting to receive it. I even tried to cancel the order because word had arrived that the stores would be reopening, and for that time frame, I could just make the purchase at the store.

    I was excited to receive a notification back in June that my order was shipping only for the tracking of the package to be stagnate in Lakeland, FL. I have had no communication at all nor been able to reach anyone from IKEA since placing or attempting to cancel my order. Yesterday, August 12th, I received a notification that my order had been delivered. Nothing was at my door and upon checking my package tracking, the same indication that my package has not left Lakeland, FL is in fact still there.

    I find it ironic that this survey has been sent for me to share my experience concerning a customer service conversation that I have not had with anyone. I would in the very least like a refund if you are not going to send my package. As an alternative, I'm willing to pick the items up from my local IKEA store in Atlanta. What I will not do is continue to wait for IKEA to decide that I, a consumer who used to advocate for IKEA and its products, am to be disregarded as nothing more than a money grab.

    I recently purchased a new house and moved - perfect Ikea opportunity. But I don’t have a car, and the nearest ikea is a train and a bus away, so I thought I would make use of their delivery services. Big mistake... First I ordered some big items, a 182cm Kallax shelf, and a large double bed with drawers. Paid 60 euros for a special delivery of these Items as it's still cheaper than renting a van. The Kallax Shelf arrived with a smash through one of the boxes and into the product, leaving a gaping hole in one of the shelves. Of course the moving guys drop everything off, photograph it, and zip off out the door without so much as a good morning, and they are gone before you can say bobsyouruncle, let alone check to see if everything is as it should be.

    No bother, we put one of the storage books over the damaged portion to hide it. We needed it badly to unpack into so weren’t prepared to try and return it. But it could be better. Next up, we realize we want some lamp shades. Ikea ones are a good bit cheaper than some of the competitors, and small enough we don't have to pay much for shipping. A few days later, the postman drops a big box containing two more boxes and swiftly departs. Inside, one of those boxes inside the big box, is a pile of broken glass. Our new lampshade, the Klockrike pendant.

    This one we are going to try and replace, we have contacted customer service by just about the only means necessary (Facebook Messenger, bleh) and are waiting days for a reply. How they handle things next will really make or break my chances of ever shopping at ikea again. So far I have only ordered twice from ikea, but both times something has arrived broken. Either I am incredibly unlucky, or their packaging and delivery services are simply atrocious. Either way, I will think twice before I order something from them again, and I advise you to do the same.

    Before placing my order I searched The IKEA website for their shipping method. It was not clear. I need to know because we do not receive USPS mail at my residence we have a PO Box. I called 3 times and each time after being on the phone for some minutes they said they could not answer the phone and hung up! I tried emailing but the only subject available was "Cancel Order"! Also, they said it would take 5 to 7 days to reply. This company is not even worth one star.

    I'm really disappointed in the online experience I recently had with IKEA. Normally I go into the store, but I decided to order online because of the convenience during COVID. I initially received an email saying the item might be out of stock, and soon after I received another email informing me that I might be receiving emails with incorrect information. I was a little worried at this point, so I decided to go online and cancel my order.

    About a week later, the table I thought I had cancelled showed up at my doorstep.. When I checked the contents of the delivery, I realized that they didn't send me half the table. I thought I would give IKEA a call and see if I could get it cleared up with their customer service, but during COVID they give you absolutely no options to contact them online. Now I have half a table sitting in my living room and no recourse to fix the problem. Highly recommend not using IKEA's online system. Either go into the store, or buy furniture online from somewhere else.

    So, I figured I would be fine ordering a comforter from IKEA. Wrong!!! They are not only incompetent, they are flat out thieves. I ordered on June 5th. I figured the delivery time of June 29th was acceptable in our current situation, yet even the process was horrible. They sent out messages of status. It took 3 days to pick the order. Did they get lost? It to 3 days to package. Do they make their own cardboard. On June 26 a label was created. Half way through July, I tried to find out what was going on. Of course they blamed COVID-19.

    At the end of July, it still had not shipped, so I tried to cancel the order, and they said that they delay was to due to a system error... oh ya and also COVID-19. Ikea refused to cancel the order even though it had not been sent. On August 13th they sent a message saying it was delivered. The Fedex tracking still shows it hasn't been shipped. Further more, I have a camera watching my porch and no delivery was made. They simply lied, probably to blame it on porch pirates. When I sent them another email, they said to fill out the online form which I have not found, or call. I called and they said there were a high volume of calls, and then just ended the call without giving me the right to wait. Every avenue is met with a runaround, hoping that they can just run people around in circles until they accept the loss.

    When you order online at Ikea, they get your money and immediately contract out the shipment to a third party logistics company who subcontracts the delivery to the lowest bidder. Ikea does not give you ANY meaningful updates on the status of your order. They DEMAND you give them a TWELVE HOUR time window for delivery, and do not even bother to send you a text or email when it is shipped or out for delivery. My order made it to the "shipped" stage, but missed the scheduled delivery day, and literally no updates or emails have been sent to me about it!! Ikea doesn't give a hoot, because they already have your money!

    Furthermore, you literally cannot call ikea about this. They straight up HANG UP on you when you call their customer service line and spend ten minutes navigating the phone maze to try to get to a person. They literally waste your time doing that just so a robot can say "we are very busy right now and can't talk to you directly, goodbye!" This is theft.

    We have ordered online from IKEA in the past, and had a good experience again. So when we closed on a house in May, we ordered some new furniture. Order was placed May 5, with an estimated deliver of May 29. It seemed like a long time, but we reckoned that it was going to take us a few weeks to get unpacked and everything, so it would be fine. But May 29 came and went and we never heard anything. I tried calling customer service over and over again, and it just says they aren't taking calls because of high volume, and hangs up.

    So our estimated deliver day was May 29 until sometime in mid-July. With no contact with the company or any way to reach them. By this point, we have started making payments on our credit card (this was a huge order, like over $1500). I had heard of some orders being cancelled, and if that was going to be the case I just wanted to know so I could find something else. But the website still just said the order was pending. Then suddenly in mid-July the website updates our delivery date of August 7. No email or communication about this. So we wait wait wait and today is August 7. I still haven't had any communication from them, and still no furniture.

    We have now been in our house for over 2 months, and haven't been able to get all the way settled. We got rid of some furniture when were were moving, as we had planned to replace it with the furniture we ordered. But instead, we still just have boxes sitting on the floor. I am beyond frustrated. I've tried to find similar furniture items elsewhere, and I can't. But I don't know if our order will ever arrive. At this rate, we are going to pay off the entire purchase before it ever arrives.

    I understand that the pandemic has impacted everyone. We have been very patient and understanding. I get that shipping is delayed for everyone. But it shouldn't take 3+ months. And even if it does, some communication would be great. I can't stand that I've just been left hanging. If you aren't able to accommodate orders, then don't take orders.

    On June 28, I ordered an outdoor 3-piece SET, which was to include a table and 2 benches. Understood it was to arrive on 7/20. Phone notification from the shipping company indicated a time slot, but delivery happened hours earlier. Inconvenient, but not a huge issue. Unfortunately, upon assembling the set we found we had only one bench. An outdoor table with just one bench really isn't very useful. No word from anyone what happened to the second bench, or even a notice that it wasn't shipped. And so the nightmare begins.

    After an hour spent - mostly on hold - with customer service, I am told that the bench I should have received is indefinitely out of stock. (But this was sold as a set!) I was offered a $45 credit for the missing flat bench. What am I to do with a picnic table with one bench? At that point, I said I would rather receive a different bench. I was told the set was no longer on sale, and I'd have to pay full $95 price for a backrest-type bench, which would be delivered 7/27. Not happy about it, but sending the whole works back after assembly was unfeasible.

    7/27 came and went, with no delivery. Many, many repeated calls to customer service are met with a "we're too busy to answer" message and a prompt disconnection. Nothing I have here has any physical address on it, and the website advises it will only answer emails for cancellations. I can't even contact IKEA via any method now!

    Meanwhile, my credit card bills arrive with nearly $600 in charges on them. I can't claim non-delivery, as I have part of the set; but without the final piece, the set is vastly devalued. I wish I had read some of the online reviews before I ordered! I know people who have shopped at Ikea stores, and were satisfied. Obviously mail order is a vastly different animal!

Can't order in store because stores are closed for COVID. Try to reach out by email, "Sorry. We only accept emails to cancel orders." Try every possible phone number and combination of menu prompts over a 3 week period to talk to someone, no way, disconnected at every turn.

But the emails continue, "Your delivery is delayed. Your new delivery date is ...yesterday! Please email or call us to schedule your delivery."

    I had been trying to order a Soderhamn sofa since the end of March. I was patient because, well, Covid-19. Everyday I checked the website to see if I could order and finally at the beginning of June I was able to place the order (from March until June, I would get an error message stating that I could not choose curbside pick-up and delivery was unavailable and to try again the next day). I selected the delivery date, confirmed order, and Ikea processed my payment. Ikea sent multiple updates via email that my sofa was on its way. Yay! I paid for my old sofa to be removed and the day before my anticipated delivery, I received an email from Ikea stating that my order was canceled; no explanation, no contact information, just canceled.

    I tried for hours to navigate my way through their phone and online customer service systems only to be either disconnected or put into automated loops. I finally was able to deduce from visiting the product page of their website that the item I ordered was currently "Out of Stock" and might be available in October/November. Really? Ikea didn't know this when they processed my payment and said it was available on their website? Or is their inventory system so antiquated that they can't track what's in their warehouses when no public was purchasing in stores? Three weeks later I received an email with a $20 gift certificate to redeem at their stores. Nice. I'll browse through their catalogue whilst sitting on my floor. No thanks. Sad, because I really, really wanted that sofa. I know these are "First World" problems, but come on, it's 2020. Covid-19 or not, most major retailers can figure out how to ship their inventory.

    Where do I start? Several months back I ordered a large number of IKEA cabinets online to be delivered to my house and selected the Woodbridge, VA store as my nearest store. The first date for delivery was a month away, but I figured I could make that work. The day before both IKEA and their selected delivery company sent emails confirming everything was on for the next day--and I took off work to be there. But last minute the day of delivery I was alerted that delivery was postponed. They wouldn't tell me why.

    I called IKEA. I had to try every combination of numbers on the automated system to finally get a salesperson, who nicely told me that the order was a few hours late getting to the warehouse, but not to worry, that within a day--two at max, I would get a call or email setting up a new date. This was the last time I heard from anyone. No amount of calls--I'm guessing about 30 in total--to IKEA allowed me to reach someone. Each time I get to a final message saying all operators are busy and I was redirected to their website service. So I tried the website numerous times--again, too many to count. The only option that works for communication is the selection "cancel order." I didn't want to cancel it; just reschedule it.

    Finally, in desperation--after nearly a month of trying--I decided to send a message via the "cancel order" email option. In it I explained my problem, gave my order number, and anything I thought that could be relevant. I did receive a perfunctory response, asking for the information that I had already given, but hey, I'm game. At least I got a response. I sent the information (again)--and that is the last I heard from them. Again, a flurry of calls and attempts at emailing, and crickets. Nothing. Sooooo--I drove to the Woodbridge store--2 hours each way--to try to get the order shipped. The response from customer service was there is nothing they could do because this was an internet order. Feel my frustration level yet?

    After begging for a manager, finally one shows up. He tries to get me to pick up part of the order (since they had some of the pieces in the store) and stick them in my car. Besides having an inappropriately sized vehicle, I couldn't see how this satisfied anything--I was still stuck not having the rest of the order shipped to my house. And the dumb thing is it apparently is sitting somewhere waiting to be shipped anyway! I told them at this point, since they couldn't/wouldn't help me get it shipped, I would just cancel the order--seems easy enough. After all, IKEA has a 365 day return policy. Why not return what I haven't yet received? I was hoping this would be easier than disputing the charges on my credit card. However, my request was definitely above the pay grade of the teller. The manager kept running off, but eventually he said he would take care of it himself--and then walked away.

    I'll bring this sad story to a quick close. After waiting for 25 more minutes (now over an hour after first talking to a teller), I asked another teller (since mine had walked off too) to get the manager back to finish up my return. She did, he showed up, and finally credited my card with the purchase--and for a second purchase of the doors to these cabinets that had to be purchased separately at the time of the first order (I'm not even going into that). But wouldn't you know it? Mind you, I couldn't download the original invoice before I left for the store because IKEAs website wasn't working properly before I headed to the store. I just trusted the manager to properly credit what I was charged.

    Came home only to find shorted me $80+. Geez! I decided to retry ordering from the Charlotte, NC, store and simply pick it up there and have tried submitting the order (8 times and counting). Each time I get the response: "Click & Collect is temporarily unavailable at this store due to increased demand. Please check back here as new windows may open up throughout the day."

    I ordered online and scheduled a delivery. All that experience was good. It was clear about when the item will be delivered and I got a call the day before narrowing down when in the day it would arrive. I could follow the driver on the actual day too to see how close it was to delivery. The issue was when it was delivered. I opened up the glass fragile box and the two plant ceramic pots were in pieces. It was packaged badly. Then that's where I got frustrated.

    I can't call them as they are too busy. I can't message them on Twitter or Facebook. Just no response at all. I can't even email them as they are only taking cancellation email!! The support is awful. I have a product that's broken that I paid for. All I want is either a replacement sent or a refund, but I can't even talk to someone to arrange that. What am I to do?? I can't do anything?

    Have a drawer storage unit. Needed some replacement drawers. Standard drawers they use in many of their products. Called IKEA. They don't sell them. Told me I would have to buy an entirely new unit. Seems very illogical give the modularity of their furniture. I was extremely surprised, disappointed and frustrated. If this were quality furniture that doesn't break easily and made in a low uniquely crafted labor intensive manufacturing process, I could understand. But this is IKEA we're talking about - like exactly the opposite. In fact, it is all in pieces you put it to yourself. Come on they seriously can't provide replacement drawers? Instead they rec picking through returns at the nearest IKEA or search eBay??? Lousy customer service, lousy product support, lousy business model. I am not a happy customer. Would I buy from IKEA again? Highly doubt it.

    I don't know how they could be any more effective at wasting the customers time. I tried to place an order online by delivery, and was told that some items were not available, so I would have to pick up in the store. Then I was told that I could not pick up in store since there is no availability to pick up in store. Then I tried to pay for the items with a customer representative, and was told that the items could be purchased through her, but they had to be on my shopping list, and not the shopping bag. I then had to manually transfer over 200 items to the shopping list, only to be told by the next customer representative that I could not buy the items from the shopping list. Then on my fourth call I was put on hold and the line cut off.

    Ikea doesn't seem to get it as a company. People want to be able to order on website and then pickup, yet Ikea doesn't offer its Click & Collect. It makes no sense why they're forcing customers to go into the store to make a purchase, especially when they have had the months of April, May, June to make adjustments (+3 months if anyone is counting). More than 3 months and yet they can't get their act together. I was going to purchase 2 stefan chairs and chair pads ($70?). Honestly, I feel that is overpriced, but whatever. When trying to order on website it won't let me place the order for Click & Collect pickup at store, or for delivery. So, instead I went to my local Costco type warehouse store and got 2 chairs I like for $44.

    The only way this behavior on Ikea's part makes any sense logically is: they just don't care about us customers. They could of easily set up a store pickup system in 3 months and hired extra people for it. They just don't care about their customers, or our business. They are making the assumption that the people who are super loyal to Ikea will keep going there, no matter what.

    DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY!!! They will take your money and not deliver the items ordered. I used to be a loyal Ikea customer- no more. They have taken almost $600 of my money and expect me to wait. I definitely for my bed mattress and frame. Finally, their customer service is a joke. They don’t get back to you in a timely manner and they don’t take telephone calls.

    I had the grave misfortune of ordering some Detolf cabinets and a TV stand online due to COVID keeping the stores closed. This was May 22nd. I still don't have the items I ordered online. As a matter of fact, I was able to wait until the local IKEA opened back up to buy the items I had originally ordered online. The delivery company they've used for this order is Select Express, and they're quite possibly the WORST logistics and delivery company I've ever had to deal with. I've now had FOUR delivery windows cancelled for various reasons on their end. I've even attempted to cancel this order while I was in the store, which IKEA would not let me do. My only options were to refuse the delivery (hard to refuse something that isn't getting delivered), or wait until it's delivered and return it to the store. (Again, when?)

    This is totally unacceptable. I can't take days off work to wait around for a delivery that's thus far 0-4. ZERO confidence. I'm typing this as I sit on hold waiting for an IKEA rep to hopefully resolve... though at this point I have little to no faith in that, as well. What the hell am I supposed to do? For as much as I enjoy the in-store shopping experience, IKEA's online shopping and delivery experience is quite possibly the worst in the business. I don't know that I've ever dealt with a company this inept.

    I have a lot of furniture from Ikea, and while it's not great, it's sturdy enough and cheap and works for what we need. However, the way they have handled the COVID pandemic has made me truly reconsider if I will shop here ever again. Whenever I try to purchase online and simply have it delivered -- and mind you, I am not in any hurry -- I am told it isn't in stock and cannot be delivered. How is that vaguely possible? They have stores all over the world. Just deliver it from any store or warehouse.

    When I try to pick it up curbside, since our local store does do curbside, there is NEVER a time slot open. I am told to keep checking back. Eventually the sale is gone or I have bought an item elsewhere. This is truly some of the worst customer service and turning and pivoting I have ever seen. I have seen companies all over Seattle innovating and trying to get through this pandemic in ways that work and are creative. As far as I can tell, IKEA just cannot be bothered to care or change at all. It is mind blowing.

    I ordered A pax wardrobe from Ikea on May 5th with a delivery date of June 28th. I really didn’t want to wait that long but I did it anyway. After I had placed my order I read all these reviews on this website how people weren’t getting their products so it made me sweat in my boots. Fast forward a week before I got my items I was getting emails from IKEA and everything processed smoothly. The driver called me when he was a few minutes away. Made me worry over nothing!

    I placed an order on 6/12 that was scheduled for delivery on 6/15. My credit card was charged on 6/18. Several weeks later and after making multiple calls to customer service I find that my order was canceled by IKEA. I did not receive any email or phone call to inform me. My call was never answered by customer service. I found out online. I did not receive a refund and it looks like they will steal the money for delivery as they took it out of my total. Ikea is stealing from people.

    I purchased an item online. There has been no feedback for when my item will be delivered or if they have it in stock. I’ve tried to reach someone on several occasions but there is never any answer. I waited on hold for two hours still no answer. I’m angry and frustrated. There is no excuse. They happily took my money at buy now option, but fail to deliver my item. Going on 4 weeks now...

    Placed an online order for delivery end of April as couldn’t get a spot for store pickup. Order placed, credit card charged, delivery date came and went. Couldn’t reach IKEA, disconnected from customer service line every time I called, finally reached someone and they said they didn’t know when it would be delivered...so cancelled, but they wouldn’t refund the interest accrued on an IKEA credit card. Not even for store credit. So I paid $30 to be inconvenienced by an order that never arrived and was very difficult to cancel and get a refund. These items were for a rental business so it’s important that the items or the refund were received in a timely manner, which they weren’t. Wondering if a refund will even be issued as they said it takes 7-14 days. Reported to BBB and AG.
