    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.

    This is for an Ikea stove top! My understanding is that Westinghouse makes these for Ikea. The Cooktop is well made, as scratch resistant as any glass top I've had previously and is about 1/2 the price. Great warranty (but I haven't needed to use it, so unknown if it actually works), appears to be nicely built.

    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.

    Finally filed claim for other reason ("Cancel Order") as I didn't know how else to get ahold of them. 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. Then nothing. Emailed again in a week. Nothing. Emailed again weekly after that asking about refund status. Still nothing. Ikea's customer service is terrible and I absolutely do not recommend. What a waste of money, on both the item and the ridiculously high shipping fees, all for a smashed item.

    Here's the full email from Ikea, from email address US_CSC_Aftersales @ ikea.com: Thank you for reaching out to us. We are sorry for any difficulties that you may have experienced with your order. Please let us know which plant pot arrived broken. If you need additional assistance please contact us back.

    The product came damaged but not due to shipping, box was ok. There are obviously nicks that occurred before or during packaging. I have tried to call several times but the phone system hangs up on me. Tried email but the only option is to Cancel Order. The store is too far away to hassle with driving and waiting in line plus this wasn't that expensive. Just a bad experience but our last one with IKEA.

    The comparatively affordable prices with comparatively good quality and wide variety of products make it a good place to shop. The drawbacks are that you have to build many items yourself or may hire somebody to do so which increases the price and that a lot of their furniture is good until you move it.

    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. Their website customer support is one of the worst I've encountered in many years.

    I placed an order for a couch 9/13/20. The first delivery in October was incomplete, 3/4 parts arrived. Customer service call led to promise missing item would be delivered within 3-4 weeks. 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 leads to deliver charge refund and another promise of missing part within 3-4 weeks.

    Third delivery at the end of November includes missing part (finally) and a different, very heavy part. 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 get that COVID has thrown a wrench in procedures, but I deserved a better solution than "donate it somewhere". I recommend picking your items up in store.

    Most of our furniture is from Ikea and I assembled it also. I am a small lady and I felt great being able to assemble it myself! I love the different smooth finishes of the wood furniture, and the clean lines. They do not go out of style. I gave the rating a 4 star because I have not seen sofas that I like a lot. Our sofas are from another source. I also love that you can find so many uniquely good looking & practical small items for your home while you may be looking for furniture. They have it all: lighting, rugs, pictures, frames, pots (love them) & pans, etc. I particularly love the children's department. It's filled with very cute furniture & wonderful unique toys at a low price.

    In my opinion, IKEA is an excellent store to buy anything for your home. The only inconvenience that you can have is doing every step by yourself, and I mean picking up when you buy in the store, assembling the furniture. But it's the most affordable, good quality maybe not for your whole life but more than 10 years, and all styles.

    Very practical furniture but not always for a long term perspective for usage. What I meant is that quality of the materials used in making it not so good. And I have to remark the ingenuity of the designers from IKEA. They are one of the best in the whole world and in the same time this is reflected into the price that it is kind of high for some of the items they sell. Very nice stores and very "direct" and they are not for the customer that comes just to "browse" because got bored with the furniture he already has. Clean and very shiny from the lights they used all around their furniture. Like they say, the better the looks the faster the sale!!!

    I love that Ikea creating displays looking like real living places. I think it's genius idea, instead just slopping furniture in huge showroom. What Ikea does, it makes these cozy living like nooks, that looks like real living space. That allows me to see actual size of the furniture. I had bought sofa- bed at Raymour and Flanigan Outlet probably 7 years ago, in showroom it looked normal size, but when it got delivered, it looked to bulky in my living-room. Yes, measuring will help, but visual display the way Ikea does, very helpful as well. Just do not go to Ikea on weekends, it's a zoo.

    I wanted to leave a comment about my experience at IKEA. I went in a second time to return a broken dresser. Then decided to go to “as is” to find something else I’d like since everything I buy online was broken. 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. I felt VERY discriminated. VERY overlooked. It was not right. The only thing I can do now is take legal action to solve this issue in court.

    I ordered cutlery and crockery for our kitchen at our workplace and the ordering and payment went smoothly, I specifically indicated on the order that this is a business and please deliver during business hours. One box was delivered on Friday and the second box with all the plates and cups was not. Apparently, FedEx forgot the one box and attempted delivery on Saturday. They just decided there and then to send the shipment back to IKEA (After I specifically indicated that this is a business and please deliver during business hours). No second attempt on their part or even a note on the door indicating that anyone was there. We phoned IKEA to find that out too after an hour of waiting.

    It has now been over two weeks and many many hours waiting on the phone line with IKEA to get this issue resolved. One wait time was over two hours long! Every time we phoned (three times so far) someone else is on the line and we are given a different story. After two weeks and some stupid explanation about the turn around time for refunds, I received a big old $3.90 credit back on my credit card. This is absolutely unacceptable.

    IKEA is quick to charge your credit card but when it comes to refunds they just do not care. I will never ever order from them again and we now have to phone again on Monday (the fourth phone call) to find out what the issue with the refund is. Because they sure as hell won't phone us.

    Great products, loved the kitchen planning people, couldn't believe how wretchedly we were treated once the order was placed. Delivery came in spurts, some by FedEx, some by a third-party delivery company. Some we had to go back to the store to get. When the final shipment came, it was missing 1/3 of the products for which we paid. No explanation. No way to reach anybody by phone or email. The online tracking system said our order was complete. 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.

    I had to drive to the store, go to the kitchen department, have them submit a new order for the missing products, pay for that order, get a refund on the original order and arrange to have them shipped the next day. Thank God everything was in stock. Come the next day, the truck never came. No call. No explanation. Argggg.

    I am highly disappointed with your product. After sending the pictures of the catastrophic failure of the Poang Chair leg, their recommendation was for me to dispose of this one and purchase a new chair. As I only need one leg and not another chair complete with cushions, I did an internet search, hoping to find a replacement leg at a reasonable price. I was surprised by the amount of information on repairs, modifications, and hacks but had no luck finding a replacement leg. They responded, " I would not recommend repairing it, because this is formed wood designed to hold weight in a certain manner and a repair could create a weak point.", which is obvious to me because of the location of failure to my chair leg.

    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.

    Their furniture is inexpensive and nice-looking but low quality. We have several pieces of furniture from this company which have served their purpose for a while. But after watching the Netflix documentary on this company we will never walk into an Ikea store again. They are an immoral company which has lied to the public about safety and sourcing issues, has taken wood illegally from native forests, and seems not to care.

    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.

Many calls, weekdays, morning and evening to the customer service during known business hours go unanswered. The Ikea website states their mattress return policy is now 90 days. Very unhappy with the expensive foam spring mattress and not able to address warranty issue with Ikea's customer service personnel. Yes, I do have my $450.

    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. By all means, share this with the individual(s) who are in charge of this mess.

    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.

Customer service person told us we can order missed parts online. The online service for a week telling the parts are not available. It is not a due date when/where they will be available. To return the pieces we stayed 2.5 hours in line and they wanted us to give only a credit that I refused to take.

    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.

I wait 2 more months for the stores to open, get to place my order in store, can't have it shipped to store to pick up, must be shipped to my home, finally I receive an email weeks later that my stuff has shipped.

But the emails continue, "Your delivery is delayed. Your new delivery date is ...yesterday! Please email or call us to schedule your delivery." Well you still can't email unless you are cancelling your order.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Having been a customer of Ikea for as long as I can remember and having numerous products in my home that I proudly acclaim as Ikea furniture, I am so disappointed to have to write such a rough review but honestly our most recent experience with Ikea has been horrendous. We ordered a Finnala sectional sofa and 2 mosslanda picture ledges back on April 23rd. The expected delivery was May 30th. On May 21st we received an email that our order had shipped and was expected to arrive May 30th. The day before came and the day of and we had received no call or update. Of course, schedules were changed to accommodate the delivery as my husband is an essential employee with a complicated schedule and myself being pregnant with two young kids we needed to acquire help to move the items on the delivery date.

    After hearing nothing from Ikea or the delivery company, I called Ikea and waited for the first of many, many times during this whole process to get through to customer service and honestly the process isn’t over so I’m sure my husband or I will call and wait as though we have nothing else better to do a few more times. After getting through to customer service, of which I will say all of the reps we have spoken to have been great once we got through to them, a new delivery date was set for June 2nd. Schedules and plans were again changed to be here for delivery. The customer rep gave us the number of the delivery company to call if we didn’t hear from them the day before the delivery.

    When we again didn’t hear from them we called the delivery company who informed us that the delivery of the products hadn’t yet been received by the delivery company. Again we got on the phone with Ikea waiting and waiting and finally got through. We asked the rep to expedite our delivery as the date given was another few days away, that wish was granted and it was to be delivered June 3rd. Schedules changed again, thankfully our extended family helping us was understanding. We finally got the call from the delivery company and they delivered the sectional and ledges. However, upon going through all the boxes it was realized that there were missing pieces to the sectional so we could not set up the sectional that we were so excited to order on April 23rd.

    After getting yet another delivery date for the missing parts and section to the sectional that was all the way in July we, being fed up, asked for a refund that we have yet to receive, and planned to try our luck at “click & collect” in order to get the missing pieces. Of course, we don’t live close by an Ikea so once we were finally able to get a time slot for “click & collect” we changed schedules again and drove the hour to pick up the missing pieces. We brought back the pieces, got more help to bring it in and finally on June 5th had the sectional sofa ordered back in April.

    Now we are waiting for the refund as we are out money from ordering the missing pieces. Out a big chunk of money our family needs. We thought we would be fine with this because in the email sent about the refund on June 3rd it said, “Please allow 7-10 business days for your refund to be issued. You will receive a confirmation email from our Cash Office regarding your refund. At the time you receive this email please allow 3-5 business days for the refund to be reflected into your account.” We have yet to receive any emails of any kind from Ikea regarding this refund. On June 22nd, my husband called yet again and wasted time on his day off to get through to customer service. The rep basically said they were backed up on refunds and it’s in the system of a whole lot of refunds but he could give no information about when we would see our money back in our account.

    The whole ordeal has been absurd. We realize that COVID-19 has thrown everyone for a loop and honestly through this all we have been really understanding with Ikea, but now they have money that doesn’t belong to them because they didn’t deliver. Like most families living in COVID-19 times we need that money that you have not refunded to us. I can’t believe that after years of buying Ikea items we are here as loyal customers getting screwed by Ikea. We never believed all the reviews and complaints before but clearly we were wrong.

Why does my tracking keep changing to "out for delivery" to "ordered place" all the time???

    How can IKEA take my 300 bucks before they actually get it on a truck for delivery? I still have not received a response to my emails! They are taking people's money and hiding.

The next day I got a phone call from the delivery company saying they were 30 minutes away and had my order. I asked them to leave it on the porch. They left it right on the porch and arrived exactly 30 minutes after like they stated on the phone. I was so happy they came through for me.

    I placed an online order May 5, including $99 delivery fee. Got an email saying it would be delivered June 5. It’s now June 10 and I have not received my order. When I log in to track my order is still says it will be delivered June 5. When I call IKEA, the recording says they are unable to take my call. And the only emails they are accepting are for order cancellations. But I’m not sure I should trust that either. I don’t live near a store location and I cannot find any store phone numbers either.

    It's been more than 6 weeks since I ordered items for delivery and have yet to receive any sort of indication that these things are ever coming. They had the nerve to CHARGE $15 for a delivery fee for this... Which I cannot even speak to someone about getting my money back. They took people's money during the pandemic, haven't delivered to all these people and there is absolutely no way to contact them to cancel the order or anything. What an embarrassing fumble for such a large company. I will absolutely NEVER order anything from Ikea again. Hire staff to answer the phones! How many angry reviews from thousands of upset costumers is it going to take before someone will literally pick up the phone??? One of the worst performances in customer service from a large chain that I've ever seen.

    Placed an order for some bunk beds and bedding over a month ago. Got the following email notifications: “order received” “picking your order from the warehouse” “shipped” ... then finally 06/04 got one that says “order will be delivered 9AM TO 9PM on June 8th” - immediately after this email, I got another that said, ‘order delay’ and another that says ‘we missed you’ - indicating they tried to deliver on Sunday 06/07 (a day early)... which was suspect - because we’re all home every day all day. Nobody delivered anything. Also, it’s a contactless delivery. Immediately after the delay emails - we get an email from the delivery company saying they don’t even have it in their warehouse and can’t find the order. “Call IKEA” - I did, not a single phone line works. Emails to the company bounce.

    The only online form you can fill out is one to cancel your order (omen?). So I call one time more and it puts me on hold for over an hour and a half - maybe I had something better to do... but I held on just to see if anyone was working...and someone finally answered in the ordering department (like, place an order). She said she was sorry after I told her my story and she said she’d have to transfer me - I said, nobody is answering over there... she said, ‘oh I assure you, I can get you through’ - I knew better, but decided to trust her. Waited on hold for another 1.5 hours and it clicked, then started a survey (which I left horrible ratings on) and it hung up on me after the survey was over.

    Now, none of their phones work... again... emails all bounce... and even the links the delivery company gives me error out 500 and 404. Called the delivery company - guys said they don’t even have the order. Also, can’t cancel and get a refund because the website is telling me I need to call. Horrible experience and I’m actually never buying from IKEA again, no matter how cool and cheap some of their stuff is.

    Hey Ikea. If you cancel my order again and won't refund my family and myself back. I will sue you legally for taking advantage of crisis. Is that clear? Good company become SCAM. THIS IS WARNING. IF YOU DON'T DELIVER MY PRODUCTS THIS SUNDAY I will take legal action. There is pandemic but it doesn't mean you take advantage as result you will lose your business with legal action. BE INTELLIGENT. You can take advantage through pandemic and get away from it. You will lose your ** customer and you will crash hard after crisis. LOGICALLY You need to provide good service in order come back up strong. Think intelligent not people insult your employees. DON'T LIE. THAT NOT SMART WAY LOGICALLY.

    I placed an order over two weeks ago for an item that was supposedly in stock. I tried placing an order for click and collect but was told full for the day. So I thought I'd wait until after midnight to place an order, same message, so I tried in the early hours of the morning. Still the same. So I gave up, I decided to place an order for delivery, it said it would be delivered 5/29, inconvenient and I have to pay shipping but at least I can place the order and forget it. Seems it's the other way around. Ikea seems to have forgotten it!

    I have tried calling because as of today it still hasn't shipped. I've tried multiple times calling and can never get through, with the exception of one time when I was told to give them a couple of days to restock. What a joke, still nothing. Now you can't even send an email unless you want to cancel. NO! I need the items to finish off a project! I hate them, after this is said and done, NEVER will I go back there. Lies, lies, lies!!!

    I ordered furniture for my son on 5/3/20 with an expected delivery date of 6/4/20. I thought that was ridiculous, but it’s the furniture he wants, so I placed the order. On 6/3/20, my son received a call that his furniture works be delivered the next day. He canceled all plans and stayed home to wait for the furniture. It never arrived.

    When I checked the status this morning, it says they are still preparing the order?! I tried to fill out an online form, but it states that they “strive” to respond within 5-7 days. What?! Then I tried to email, but that is only for cancellations. Then I tried to call and the recording says they are experiencing “high call” volumes. So, they are not taking any calls and you can’t leave a message. So, I paid $50 for a delivery that 32 days later is still being processed. My son was informed the delivery works take place yesterday and did not and we have no recourse and no way to contact the company. IKEA will never receive my business again! Buyer beware!

    I like thousands of others am also waiting for refunds and deliveries. They have had my money for over 6 weeks now and I have no idea if or when I will receive anything. ‪After trying to reach out to them unsuccessfully on the phone lines many times....IKEA now has a message saying “due to technical difficulties we cannot take any calls today.” To try chat ....which is never available. Email is never open. The other day tracking wasn’t even available. So basically they are unreachable! I am posting warnings on all social media outlets that they should not be trusting IKEA with their money! I also reached out to ATV.ca news who did an article on June 1st.

    I have placed an order, several thousand dollar order, on March 25 with expected delivery date of May 9. The delivery date came and went with no word from Ikea. I’ve tried calling multiple times only to hear a recording stating that their call volume is high and to try back later. I logged into my account to look at my order, and my order history says “No Orders”. Now I’m getting really concerned. My credit card was charged on March 26 for the full amount. I did receive an email yesterday stating one of my items is out of stock and that item was being cancelled and I would be refunded within 7 days.

    Right now I’m out $3000 and have nothing from ikea except my order confirmation and one email for an out of stock item. Sending an email to customer service will only allow for order cancellations. I sent a scathing email to cancel my order. If I don’t hear back, I will file a complaint with the WA state Attorney General's office. I will never do business with Ikea again!!

    I have tried to contact Ikea customer service by every means possible. I have spent a combined 10 hours on hold and each time the line drops. If you call them now, their phones simply do not work due to "technical difficulties". The website says to use the live chat, which is a joke because for days the live chat has said there are no agents available and then disappears entirely. They are also not taking emails anymore. No one from Ikea has sent an email explaining or apologizing for the situation, or providing an updated delivery date/explanation of the delay. Does anyone still work there? It seems to me they are taking orders they simply can't fulfill. I'm thoroughly dissatisfied. I strongly recommend you take your business elsewhere.

I tried to call IKEA and it took years for them to pick up the freaking phone. The customer service rep was so rude and all she wanted was to cancel my order. So I ask her to cancel my order then I was put on line for another hour and nobody gives a freak on me. I was just put on hold on the phone for an hour for nothing. I eventually hanged up because I got things to do but this customer service experience is terrible. You can't even reach out to them through email because the only subject to email is to cancel order. BTW "Delivery fees are unrefundable". Why???? They did nothing but a part of the money I pay was stolen. Would never purchase from IKEA ever again.

    Ordered the MALM Queen Size Bed Frame. They clearly stated the midbeam was included in the price. The order arrived and I put together the frame just to find out at the end that the midbeam is missing. Cannot get anyone to help me from their customer service by phone. I called in and was transferred to a machine that said a few words and hung up on me - happened several times. Every time you hit the link to email them it diverts you to a page to call in to cancel your order. The midbeam costs $10 and the shipping is $50. I'm not paying $60 for something that should have already been included in the order. Forget pick-up - that option is always unavailable due to max orders placed per day despite checking at 12:01AM.

    Worst experience ever. DO NOT BUY HERE EVER OR AT LEAST NOT DURING COVID-19. You won't be able to exchange/return items (even if they delivered the wrong thing) and you will be stock with them until who knows when!!! I placed an order online, I was forced to pay expedited delivery fee because it was the only option available (pick wasn't available and regular delivery wasn't available). Then when they delivered the item, the guy couldn't even ring my doorbell to let me know he arrived even though it was raining and he knew I was at home because he called when he was in route.

    It is not because I looked at the window and see the truck leaving I wouldn't know. I ran out and told the driver why he couldn't ring the doorbell and he played the "I don't understand card," so Ok I spoke with him in Spanish then to make myself very clear but he didn't care regardless. Then Ikea has a partnership with TaskRabbit to put items together but they are not responsible of any fees or issues.

    Now I also wasted my money because when the guy came, it ended up not only that I was missing the legs of the item that I paid extra for, they got me mix parts so I couldn't put it together. I called the delivery team and they said they are not responsible for this. On top of that, trying to call Ikea is horrible. I called for 3 hours straight but they weren't taking calls. Finally, I was placed on hold, explained my issue but they can't do anything other than filling a claim for you. Another waste of time.

    Then, today I got an email from them saying they can't schedule pick up or returns until Ikea open back up. This is insane. I don't have space at my place to just have useless things sitting around. I should be able to return the item so that I can either get my money back and buy an the item someplace else, or be able to exchange it. This is very unprofessional. I am very disappointed and will never ever again purchase something from Ikea.

    Through all the years as a regular customer at Ikea, I have gotten accustomed to their dismal customer service and have never expected much, if any, service at the store that I frequented. During the pandemic though, without in-store purchase possibility, the overall poor customer service of the company has come to the front and center. Not only is there a daily quota for store pickup, one has to try the next day and place the order all over again, only to be told to try again the following day because the daily capacity is reached again, before noon time! When I called the only number available, after making all the selections, the recording finally said there was no customer service available at this time. Why can't they just say no customer service right off the bat? Instead, they make you go through the hoops to arrive at 'sorry, no service' at the end.

    Either the company has very inept management, or they are too successful and too big to care about customer service. It is interesting to notice that companies that did not have good customer service culture become '0' customer service during the pandemic. They are so arrogant about their success, they just don't care about servicing the very people that made them a success in the first place, the customers.

    Appreciate some companies are inundated with online orders due to the pandemic closing stores, however for an international retailer to completely deny its consumers the opportunity to call or contact customer service is not acceptable. I ordered in-stock floor tiles for my patio. Once ordered I noticed I was going to have to wait 8 weeks for delivery. Seriously Ikea?!!! I wanted to cancel, so used their email option. That was 3 weeks ago, and I haven't heard a thing. I tried a second time and still nothing. I have called many times to try to speak to someone and I just get put on a never-ending loop then finally cut off. I will raise a claim through my bank to try to get my money back. They have the audacity to say that cancelled orders won't receive a refund for the delivery cost. That is basically robbery as no delivery has taken place.

    I doubt anyone from Ikea will read this, but in the off chance they do, know this - during this terrible time, it's sink or swim time for massive retail corporations and customer service is more crucial than ever before. If you are unable to meet demand, then do not accept orders Ikea. Truly appalling customer service, and shows that Ikea are a mess.

    I am still waiting for my small order, placed April 21, 2020 to complete a full kitchen install. I tried to call customer service, waited 2 hours without anybody picking up. This is after e-mails were ignored and the "chat" option did not work. Finally I received an answer to my initial e-mail, which pointed out that I was to expect a 6 week delivery and the terms and conditions were on their website. Then I was given a approximately delivery date, May 23.

    That date has passed as well and I sent a new e-mail asking for updates. My order is still in "picking status" and therefore no tracking for the delivery carrier has been created. I realize, that with the Covid 19 situation ongoing, Ikea customer service is likely dealing with lot of order questions, but they could be doing a much better job communicating with their customers. When I placed my order on April 21, the took my money right away and I did not notice at that time the 6 week delivery delay...I received a order confirmation for April 23, 2020. Now Ikea is offering curbside pick-up. I asked, to change my order status to that option about 2 weeks ago and received no answer as of today.

    In March, I ordered a sofa and a few other items and was given a delivery date of mid-April. Come mid-April, the delivery came, only to receive HALF of a couch. Since the couch is modular, the half of a couch I do have is missing legs on one side and has metal connectors visible. Terrible and dangerous! But that's not all. After countless promises for call-backs and warehouse searches, no one ever followed up.

    Finally I was able to get a supervisor, who offered to refund the delivery fee and the part of the couch that wasn't delivered. Like that was making it right... I was told I could order it once it came back into stock. So I did (after getting the refund 3 weeks later). I ordered the couch, which said it would be delivered in a week. Four days later, after I called to double-check, they said my order was canceled (no email/update online). Why? Because Ikea didn't receive my payment. Even though my bank account showed that had been pulled (the full delivery and all).

    After checking with a manager, they found out my CC was charged and that it was canceled due to a "technical glitch". Kicker is, the couch is now out of stock! So I'll get a refund in 3 weeks and still half a couch! I will never ever shop at Ikea again. There is no sense of customer service at this company and their order system clearly doesn't work.

    IKEA South Philly manager was in store 05/14 and 05/15 a refund was issued and hit the credit card. So anyone who places a kitchen order through a store is beholden to that store’s operating for your order to ever be filled. They just issue refunds and apologies. But the manager was a nice lady and resolved my refund issue which on 04/27/2020 was turned into a store credit that was locked in the store. Bizarre situation and excuses to say the least. But be persistent with your calls and log every interaction you have. ORDER YOUR KITCHEN ONLINE, not in-store! Lesson well learned!

    Original Review: May 12, 2020

    Ordered my kitchen in February and paid 5300$ that day up front on Ikea credit card. March 18th was delivery date then 03/21, 04/02 and after those dates came and went with no contact from IKEA or XPO I had to call after every missed delivery date. They finally said my order was on indefinite hold because they locked my order to the south Philadelphia store by my because I placed the order in there. So after called on 04/13, 04/19, 04/27... The last call I was forced to cancel my order! They are filling new orders but older ones they refuse to fill and rather have them canceled. Sadly it takes WEEKS to MONTHS to get any refunds.

    Quick to steal your money but when it comes to refunds well let's say you will have to keep calling to stay on top of that because if you don't not only did they get you to cancel your order but now they get to keep your money. Don't mention lawyer when talking to IKEA about them stealing your money and never giving you the product because they will hang up on you or say they're transferring you to a department to basically wait on hold and get dropped into a survey.

    04/27/2020 was when I gave up on IKEA! It's now 05/12/2020 and still no refund. They said they sent out refund on 05/01/2020 for 4800$. Once I found out how much I had an argument going back and forth. My receipt from the kitchen department was for 5300$ no less. They tell me nope not what they see and that I must have bought other things. Sorry kitchen was ordered and paid for right in the kitchen department, no extra loose items I took home that day. I have my receipts also.

    At this point all I can do is get a lawyer as IKEA has been inept every step of the way with my order and can only imagine how many others got screwed like I did with a kitchen. To deny a customer paid for merchandise they purchased and the contract of the delivery date with no alternatives to get the customer their NEEDED products like a kitchen shows that this company doesn't care one bit about its customers. To deny a customer a kitchen in a time of need like a stay at home quarantine is the epitome of greed at any and all cost capitalism like this company clearly exhibits. Fact it takes weeks to months for a refund should be flat out illegal and the fact they want to argue with me what my receipts and paperwork say for final price reflects what my credit card shows but not what they have in their computers.

    Company has lost my business and I'm a general handyman that uses IKEA for all projects like remodeling rooms with furniture and kitchens. No more after this fiasco and straight theft and fact they blew my order off for newer orders shows me the length they go to screw their base customers they had no intention of ever filling those people's orders. Sorry ain't gonna solve this issue or ever get me back. My kitchen or a FULL refund ASAP might get me back but sorry this experience has soured my IKEA days for your competitors who have been open this whole time and shipping out orders from stores and doing curbside pickups.

    IKEA is a joke and honestly sad to say goodbye as u do like their products but def not worth the headaches, theft and hassle of trying to get what you paid for to be strung along for months to be cowed into canceling your order that they should have done months ago. I could/should have a kitchen but don't because I can't go anywhere else while IKEA holds my refund and refused to issue a full refund!

I received a call the day before confirming delivery, only for the item to not arrive. After spending 2 hours on hold with customer service, I learned they had cancelled my order (no reason given) but not bothered to tell me even though they had confirmed delivery. I have yet to see a refund. Unless you want to waste a day waiting for a no-show delivery and listening to very repetitive hold music, avoid Ikea online.

    I bought, https://www.ikea.com/ae/en/p/graelviken-3-seat-sofa-bed-beige-20445393/, Once the item is delivered to my home I was getting some breathing problem to a level that I was thinking of even selling it for nothing, but I was thinking about people who take it even for free. I don't want to do this non humanitarian behavior to the people. I checked with them for replacement/at least to take it back from home. Am not getting any positive responses.

    We recently researched and selected a kitchen project package from Ikea online due to store closure during Covid19. Of course shortly after placing the order and paying in full, we were advised that some key components were out of stock, and the distribution center will not pull product from the stores where these items were very much in stock. If you have ever installed a kitchen package, you understand that a sink base cabinet is critical to proceeding with the other cabinets.

    After two weeks I inquired via email and phone to check shipment status and whether a projected date could be improved upon. I was ok with the response that the original delivery date was still on target. Two days later, we received notifications via email that our order had been canceled. I called to ask why and the customer service agent had no idea, but was able to give me a credit reference number and advised that Ikea processes the credit of money paid within 10-14 days. It is now 14 days later and Ikea has had our money since order placement which was 30 days ago. It is apparent to me that Ikea sells SKUs, not packages, and they make their money on float rather than margin.

    If you try to contact Ikea, please be prepared for a long wait for an agent and to be transferred blindly to another department which usually results in another long wait, or better yet, a hang up after an apology recording blaming Covid19 for a "heavier than normal call volume." Whatever! We quickly found cabinets from another online supplier and they will be delivered tomorrow, exactly on the day that Ikea was supposed to deliver, which is half of the time to process and ship the order. My advise is to use Ikea for spatulas and cookware. They are not really in the kitchen cabinet game.

My local hardware shop that has a multitude of BBQ's tell me that they supply parts for all the BBQ's that they sell, I'm now stuck with a useless BBQ unless I can find a tray from another manufacturer that has one to fit.

    On March 10, I purchased some kitchen cabinets inside the store in Houston. About 1/4 of the materials had to be picked up at their warehouse a week or so later because they did not have them in stock. It was during this time that the virus starting re-arranging our lives, my work situation changed, and I live more than one hour away from the warehouse. I was notified the day that the material arrived, but was unable to arrange to pick up my material. They also called me the next day, but I was still working on my arrangements. 4-5 days after the material was delivered to the warehouse, I was notified by email that my order was cancelled. There was no warning, no negotiation of another pickup period, nothing, just an email of the cancellation.

    I made several calls and several emails, but have been given no justification of why it was cancelled without further clarity. I was told that they would refund me what I paid, but this has not been done either...nearly 50 days later. Also, the material that I need was out of stock when I went to order it. Now, I have a half-assembled kitchen, and have had to make other arrangements and multiple other purchases to finish this kitchen through other suppliers. Beware if you are ordering Kitchen cabinets from them, and ensure that you can get everything in the initial order. Also, they are very poor at returning phone calls and emails, and if you are expecting a refund for items, this may take some time also. I have yet to be contacted regarding these issues.

    Ikea's website is up & running, but IKEA will not accept ANY returns until their stores reopen, indefinitely. THEY are keeping customers' money, earning interest on it, which is unethical. They can easily provide UPS or USPS return shipping labels--but aren't. Also, the 6 Henriksdal chair covers I purchased do not fit my Henriksdal chairs--AND IKEA IS NO LONGER MAKING COVERS FOR OLDER HENRIKSDAL CHAIRS.

    I placed a furniture order on 3/27, with a delivery date of 4/8. That date came and went with no update. Obviously this is a difficult time, but I was frustrated that IKEA was happy to take my money but made no effort to provide any communication once the delivery date had passed. I called customer service and was on hold for about one minute before Kerthia A. picked up. I wasn't expecting someone so friendly on the other end of the call, but she could not have been more helpful or kind. She was very transparent about the likelihood that my order would be delivered, so when I decided to cancel, she processed everything quickly. Even though I'm disappointed I won't get my order, the whole customer service process was surprisingly easy and helpful from start to finish.

The delivery company keeps trying to deliver the frame itself or to pick up the other customers order. No attempts to get my order correct have been made. IKEAs customer service has been incredibly awful to say the least. They seem to be more prone to just throw money at the situation instead of trying to fix it. I don’t need money thrown out the situation. I need my order. I’m at the point where I’m going to just cancel my order in order with somebody else. If you have the option to order with anybody other than IKEA do it. Worst experience ever. Will not be shopping with them again.

    I ordered an office chair around March 23rd - during the coronavirus outbreak. The stores were still open for pick-up only - I could have bought the item through their 'click and collect' system, which meant I would have to drive about an hour to get the chair, but I could have picked it right up. I opted to have the office chair shipped to me instead, and paid shipping. IKEA charged my American Express a couple days later. A week later... nothing. Called the company because the order wasn't even showing on my IKEA account. Took a while and was given an order number and told it was expected to arrive April 8th.

    I've bought from IKEA before and gotten items in a couple of days. So this was to be two weeks later but okay... Coronavirus. April 8th comes... nothing. It hasn't even shipped. Customer service tells me they're behind and I ask why they charged my card already - most merchants wait until they ship to charge. Person assisting me could care less about customer service - just said it's what IKEA does. Not helpful in the least.

    A week later... hasn't shipped and online IKEA is only indicating stores are closed AND the site says that unless you are calling to cancel an order, they aren't taking calls. SERIOUSLY?!!! I thought IKEA had it together and was the most amazing company but I've changed my mind. So they get to tie up my money for who knows how long and the company doesn't even have the decency to provide updated notifications or care about asking a customer if a delayed shipment is okay. Radio silence. When I ordered, the site said NO such thing. BAD JOB IKEA. They are privately held and not a publicly traded company so I guess they don't care less about public opinion. I'll remember this experience.

    I will NEVER shop at this horrible store again. This is in the middle of the coronavirus outbreak. I ordered furniture a week and a half before things got really serious. Decided to cancel the order to avoid the hassle during these times. In order to cancel I placed approx. 20-25 calls to the IKEA customer service. Their automated voice hung up on my 80% of the time. 20% of the time when I got through to a live human being, they gave me the run around telling me the right department was busy or closed (6:30EST closing time, which is apparently enforced at 6PM EST... being in California this is ridiculous).

    Finally got through to a rep who could cancel my order and after 3 days of running behind ikea and calling once every few hours he has the audacity to tell me that they can refund the items but NOT the delivery fee. I've been calling the dang store since I ordered the item and now, 3 days later when the shippers got their hands on the item he tells me I have to pay the $50 shipping fee even though I will never get the item.

    On top of that here's the rub: Refunds take 12-14 days to process. I get NO confirmation of my refund, just an 8 digit reference number. There is NO manager to escalate the situation. The only way to escalate is to wait 2-3 weeks for when the manager is potentially available to talk to them then. There is NO way to check the status of the refund

    I was told to call back in 2 weeks to check the status of the refund. CALL BACK after everything I had been through (interrupting my work every hour to make an IKEA call for 3 days). And there was NO way to get the delivery fee back. Mark my words I will NEVER be shopping at this forsaken company again and I truly hope this company fails - this type of customer service should be treated with a lawsuit, not an angry review. TL;DR: Never shop at IKEA online.

If you have never had any issues with an IKEA order you may never experience this antiquated and frustrating system but if you do hope you get Wade or Kevin on your case.

When I found other images online from other sources, i tried to order only to find I could not get my shipping to calculate and therefore could not place my order. We drove 125 miles to our Ikea store. We ordered our cabinets to pick up on our way out of the store. Everything seemed to go smoothly until we got home and started to assemble the cabinets. No hinges! There were dampers but no hinges. We tried to call but you cannot call the store directly and the main number said they were too busy to take my call. I tried to email but there was no category that fit their fill-in-the-form email choices... REALLY!?

    I waited online for almost a half hour and told them about the missing hinges and was put back on hold for 8 more minutes. I was told I could go back to the store or order them online. I had already checked that option and the hinges are not sold online. I told her that was not going to work. I was put back on hold for another 5 minutes to wait for a sales team member who then scheduled a call back later in the afternoon. I will never purchase from them again!! Hopefully this gets resolved on the call back.

I tried to dismantle it back to return it back to the store but in the process it was breaking in places and the hardware was as if was made from aluminum foil. I couldn't disassemble it. So I took it back as it was. Once in the store they refused refund or exchange because they only refund unopened boxes, I was told at the store that I was suppose to call the store And pay an employee to come to my house to check if I made a mistake and if I didnt they reimburse the money. I told them that I read the policy on returned merchandise and it said that they will give you a full refund even after 365 days and you could take the merchandise to the store as it is open or assembled.

    Well PR store will not even accept it I couldn't take it back home because it was too heavy. I am a senior citizen and had no help to take it back. Well to make the story short I end up leaving the merchandise and unable to get my refund. I am asking myself why Ikea PR its different from other stores. Their refund policy its set so no matter what you will be unable to get your money back. I will not buy anything from them ever again. Probably now my TV stand it's in one of their employee's home.

    We bought the PAX wardrobe set and a mirror weeks ago and opted for home delivery. On the day it was meant to arrive, the delivery was towards the end of the window they gave us (we received no notice until they were almost at our door and thought they had missed our order). Some items were delivered damaged, including a smashed mirror and a broken PAX frame. The frame was "dented" in the sense that the laminate tore and the inside looked completely hollow. The delivery guy said our items were at the bottom of the truck, so that combined with it being late implied we were the last delivery of the day. They made a note of the damaged items and told us to wait for a call from IKEA. (A somewhat odd note was they refused to take the smashed mirror back, and just propped it against a wall by the kitchen, even though we had a cat who could get himself hurt with the exposed pieces.)

    The call never came and several days later we decided to call IKEA ourselves. They don't tell you the wait-time would take hours. The agent told us they were low on stock and would have to call us back on Wednesday (which is a week later). That call never came either, and on Thursday we called IKEA again, got put on hold for hours, only to be told by the agent that our case needs to be transferred to the after-sales department, which is unavailable currently due to "high call volumes".

    We called once again on Friday, got put on hold again, got told by an agent again that he'd need to transfer us to the after-sales department, to which by the way there's no direct line, so you have to remain connected through two transfers and two queues or else your enquiries won't even reach a human being. So after waiting another several hours and 29 other callers ahead of us, we got hold of an agent who, to add insult to injury, tried to offer us 20% discount to keep the broken wardrobe. When we told him no, he said he'd put through a replacement delivery scheduled next Sunday for 1-5pm.

    Sunday 5pm passed as well, and on our final call to IKEA we were told the replacement order was never even processed by the system. The after-sales agent implied it took two days to process an order in their esoteric system, and they didn't even offer a way to notify us in the event of an order-processing failure, or somehow guarantee a delivery after everything. We're left to wait another few days with now little confidence the delivery will ever actually arrive. At this point I'm at a loss for words.

    Dreadful. My case # is **. On MLK day last (1/20) I ventured to your store in Paramus, NJ and purchased an 'AS is' mattress, bed frame and table. I decided to have the bed frame and mattress delivered using your delivery service. I was told that the earliest I could get it delivered was 1/22. I informed your sales associate that it would have to be after 3:30 PM as that's the time I get home from work. She took note of it and said it shouldn't be a problem and told me that the delivery company would call the evening before to confirm the time. I received an automated voicemail at 7:40 PM on 1/21 that was from North American Logistics (877 812 8688) that was cut off and wasn't informative in any way to the delivery time or date.

    The following morning at 8:00 AM I got a call from the truck driver asking if it was okay to deliver my merchandise in 20 minutes. I told him that I had to leave for work and that the requested delivery time was after 3:30 PM. He said he had to call the office and hung up. At 9:44 AM I got a voicemail from Ikea that the driver was on site and was attempting to make delivery. (Seriously!?). When I returned home from work later that day I called IKea and was told that I had to schedule another date and the only way I could do that was to go directly to the store and speak to them. So I jumped in my car and drove the 25 minutes to Paramus and had to wait 40 minutes to speak with a customer service rep.

    After explaining my reason for being there she had to speak with a manager to confirm my requested delivery date of 1/25 which was a Saturday and which I knew that there wouldn't be any conflict with the 12 hour (9:00 AM - 9:00 PM) delivery time. Approximately 15 minutes later I was given the okay and was told that no additional delivery charges would be applied. I then drove home. On the evening of 1/24, I received a call from the shipping company and was told that my merchandise was scheduled to be delivered on 1/25 between 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM. At 3:10 PM on 1/25 the truck driver called me from ** and said that he was on his way and would be to me within the hour. He inquired about the weather as it was raining heavily that day. I asked if he had plastic to cover the mattress and he said no. I then asked him to call me when he arrived and I would go to him with plastic no cover the mattress. He said okay and we hung up.

    I then began to prepare my apartment for the delivery (moving furniture and rolling up area rugs). 4:00 PM came and went and I heard nothing from the driver. Soon after 5:00, I called the driver back and there was no answer. I then called Ikea at 5:29 PM and was on the phone for 1 hour and 16 minutes to be told that my order had been canceled and that I was going to be issued a refund. The customer service rep was unable to give a reason why. On 1/27 I received 2 voicemails from ** at 12:24 PM and again at 1: 02 PM which basically said that I was going to be issued a store credit by mail and if I wanted my refund to go back to my debit card I would need to drive to the store to have it done. No apologies, no explanation! Later that day after work I drove to Ikea to try to get an explanation as to what had happened to my mattress and bed frame.

    I asked to speak to a manager and spoke with Shea. She was unable to give me an explanation and said that all they could do was issue me a refund and that I would have to take it up with corporate. I said that a refund was not acceptable to me and I requested that they replace them instead. She denied my request and walked away. A few minutes later a gentleman by the name of Juan ** spoke with me and gave me an Ikea number and said I would need to file a complaint. I left the store and sat in my car and called the number. I spoke with a customer service manager and in short, he said the I would need to file an official complaint and that someone would reach out to me within 72 hours and this email I'm responding to is the first I've heard from anyone.

The kitchen in the home I just purchased is all IKEA. Very flimsy cabinets. The built in microwave quit working after one use. I may have to start over with this whole kitchen.

    I think IKEA has some cute little items, inexpensive and fun though perhaps not of superior quality. Good stuff if you don't need things to last very long. For the price it's worth it. My gripe is their return process. On my first attempt to return some items that didn't work out (color didn't work), the "take a number and wait your turn" area was backed up for hours long. So...left and waited a couple weeks and came back after all the Christmas returns would be done. Walked in the door the moment they opened and STILL had six people (somehow??) with numbers ahead of mine. Took my number and sat down to wait only to be told all IKEA returns computers are down and we have no idea when they will be back up and running. What?

    Options... go shopping in their store while you wait for the computers to come up. Hmmm... Computers are up to purchase just not to return? Also, after you're done shopping, get back in the heinous line to wait your turn again for hours on end. Come on IKEA! Get more customer service people on staff to move these lines through as quickly as you check people out when they're buying your stuff. And hire some professionals who know how to keep your computers running. You've lost me as a customer. But my hope is to save a few more people the headaches I've gone through trying to make a return. There were a lot of disgruntled customers sitting there this morning. I'll pay more and shop elsewhere.
