"\u00a3425 lost due to thieving delivery company ikea contracts\r\nHonestly, take into consideration the reviews before purchasing from IKEA ever again.\r\n\r\nI never thought to look at the reviews, As I always considered IKEA a good company\u2026.. but after my recent experience, I will never Purchase another item from IKEA.\r\n\r\nWe had wardrobes delivered by third-party company on behalf of IKEA, The company unit movements in the UK south west , Came into our home and broke our radiator due to an accident where boxes were dropped\u2026. At the time I was only given a phone number to contact and I was told by an employee of them to get my own plumber out and send them the invoice and they would pay for the damages they Caused, However, when I attempted to get my money back the company Absolutely refused to acknowledge any requests, Firstly, they accepted blame, And said they knew what happened. But then very quickly backtrack and said they weren\u2019t gonna do anything to help as we got our own plumber and they were not gonna pay for it because we were meant to use theirs\u2026. After a week of back-and-forth with this company over whether or not we would get our money back for the services of the plumber we used based on the information that we were given by them, We contacted IKEA again on the matter, And were told that they stand by this company 100% and agree with them and that we\u2019re out of luck with our \u00a3425 that we had to spend in order to heat our house for our one-year-old child\u2026. I find it absolutely disgusting that a company that swears it\u2019s dedicated to its customers. is so proudly willing to stand behind one of their partners who is clearly in the wrong\u2026. I am absolutely disgusted with the behaviour of not only the companies they deal with but the customer service representative I\u2019ve been in contact with that is directly linked to IKEA\u2026 I know this review is long winded but I really do hope you take it into consideration before purchasing anything for delivery from IKEA\u2026."

“I had a great time planning my home including kitchen with the team but after that it's quite hectic. Few parts were delivered and few took forever to come. Basically the whole process was very very irritating and very very troublesome. I had to follow up so so many times with the team. Very poor after service. Would definitely not recommend it.”

“I was trying to return this item, it is just a days past its return policy. I have decided to bring this back as I was having a sort of on and off should pain this past few months. It wasn't because of any medical problems but because of this matress. I also have a back pain due to my medical condition and now it won't go away and it is making it worst. Tried to call to return but Ikea said it is beyond return policy. What a joke. Shame on you. I bought lots of items here and this is how you treat your customer! I won't recommend your matress because this is how you treat your customer and this product is such a joke!”

“I am writing this review because I have always loved Ikea but it came to my attention that some of the products sold by Ikea have several toxic materials in it. Online the material and care tab does not show all the compounds the product has, except of stainless steel and aluminum. But when in the store you read the label you might be surprised and disappointed the least! Please read the label and find out: This specific pot MIDDAGSMAT has: Formaldehyde (Very Toxic) Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4) Decamethylcyclopentasiloxane (D5) Decamethylcyclohexasiloxane (D6) Not sure why Ikea is selling these products to anyone. Please be savvy but smart and read the labels and check what is in it. I was looking for a pot but not for toxics!”

“Let me start with Ikea furniture and items are ok and average, but a little pricey for having to spend hours assembling them. Given that the furniture and products are 4-star. But the customer support is the worst. First of all, you can't email them and can only call and wait and long hold time, or CHAT online. I ordered a dresser online and had it shipped to my house and a reasonable cost and time. When I received the box a couple of items were bent and damaged. I put together pretty much the entire dresser including using the damaged parts. I've contacted customer support via phone and CHAT online several times and all those times were promised to receive the damaged part within a couple weeks. After over two months and numerous times contacting them, I still have not received any communications, updates or the part. Very poor customer service. I have also submitted a complaint on BBB as well. I would not recommend purchasing from Ikea unless you want to be on your own for support.”

“Unfortunately I'm done spending money with Ikea, I spent over $1200 on several items that were shipped to me only to have one item not work. I reached out to customer service 4 times only to get 4 different answers with no real solution. They have gotten so cheap they don't even label the items when assembling them any more. They simple give you a book with pictures and your left to your own wits to figure it out. Horrible customer service, will not spend my money with them any more.”

“Narucila sam proizvode na online sa isporukom, dobila sam poruku da narucenu robu pokupim u robnoj kući na autoputu. Za žalbe i pomoć sa više chat botova nisam uspela da rešim problem. Ovo je užas.”

“The paint peeled off within a year and a month from EKEDALEN Extendable table . When I contacted them, they told me that it was out of warranty because it was past the one-month mark. What is this? Is this the IKEA that we trust? Is this the guaranteed and strong furniture that I have trusted all these years? The worst disappointment I have ever been through. I sent them the pictures and they said we can't do anything for you because you're past your warranty by a month. I bought the whole set with the chairs for about $860 and I was happy with it. Within a year and a month, I had the worst set ever. I hate you and I will never forgive you.”

“I am trying to get someone from Ikea to deal with a couple of issues regarding the Ikea kitchen I have just had fitted back in December 2024 which have still not been resolved. I sent the many emails, spoke to various resolution staff and I am still no further forward, I am still unable to open several draws and cupboards, I have not been refunded for a bespoke breakfast bar which I ordered for the centre island or for the payment for fitting it which I paid upfront as part of the installation cost. I can’t tell you how disappointed I am with the whole thing, the aftercare and lack of empathy for my situation has been poor as are the channels for raising any concern a with Ikea in the first place, I have been on this since before Christmas trying to get it resolved. I’d be grateful if someone could take ownership of my concerns and contact me to discuss the matter as I will not been letting it go until resolved, this is my last attempt to get it resolved before I go through formal channels to get: 1. The pop openers for the draws and cupboards I can't open. 2.The refund promised for the bespoke breakfast bar 3.Refund for the installation cost of the breakfast bar if it had been fitted, I was quoted £100 by the installer. For reference the order number for the Kitchen is 1443389479, there will be plenty information on this case as I have spoken the resolution team many times, sent several emails and live chat. Kind regards David”

“Purchased a x2 chest of drawers, in the process of building one, I noticed one of the pre-assembled parts was incorrect. Contacted customer services and that is when the complete and utter shambles started. In short, over the space of 4 weeks, I contacted them 7 times amounting to 3 hours, 14 minutes, 48 seconds on the phone with the customer service department. I had a delivery of yet another faulty set of drawers and 4 days sat at home waiting for re-arranged deliveries that never arrived with no communication. Contact the complaints department in Dec 2024, still waiting to hear back from them. Embarrassingly disorganised, little care for their customers and will NOT be using Ikea again.”

“The delivery driver didn't ring our doorbell and left our order outside, in the rain. We did get a phone call, but couldn't hear anybody on the other end of the line. We called back five times, but no answer. One of the items we ordered wasn't delivered. When we called customer services, the response was completely unsympathetic and unhelpful. They even refused to refund the 'delivery' charge. We asked to raise a complaint. The agent put us on hold and the call was mysteriously cut off.”

“Terrible delivery. I paid for delivery, waited a long time, and received a product missing the entire assembly kit. I don't have a single screw or tool, and instructions to put it together. Their customer service is a complete joke too. I told them that the entire kit was missing. They directed me to download the instructions from the internet and asked me to specify each single individual piece of hardware that I needed. After talking with them back and forth, they finally ordered me parts. After a whole month of waiting, guess what, It is still not complete. I still don't have a single piece of screw to assemble the furniture. So after all this mess, after two months of talking to them, I asked for a refund, they want me to pack things back up and return the product to get the refund. Again, no tool or labor was provided.”

“ANC delivered my IKEA furniture. Over $2,000 worth. I paid extra for delivery inside the house. The 2 delivery people were very rude and inconsiderate. I asked them to take 1 box in the front door and the other 2 down to side door (just down driveway about 5 metres). They refused and said they were in a hurry and would only deliver through one door. I’m heavily (and obviously) pregnant and they showed no compassion or common courtesy. It felt very weird and off putting. A little scary and aggressive even. It was like they were not human, but rather snappy, angry robots from some dystopian future where AI has gone bad. This was a terrible service experience. I love ikea, but shame on the ANC transport company for hiring such people. Fortunately I have a strong husband who is able to move the boxes around when he gets home from working all day. Perhaps I will see if he wants a second job as an IKEA deliveryMAN, as I’m positive he would treat pregnant women with compassion and make time to take boxes inside the most appropriate doors. I’ve contacted customer service, hopeless, chat took 2 hours to reply, and over the phone nobody replies.”

“I worked with an Ikea kitchen planner staff member and ordered over $8000.00 worth of goods which I paid for in full on January 11, 2025. Ikea has failed to deliver these goods because they no longer have all the items I paid for in stock. I post this as a warning that Ikea is accepting money for goods and not reserving that stock after payment, or they are selling items which are not in stock even though they have been ordered with an Ikea staff member who assured that they were in stock when ordered. I have cancelled my kitchen order because Ikea cannot deliver in a reasonable timeframe. At 11.05pm the night before the booked delivery date (Tuesday 21 January 2025) Ikea texted that they could not deliver any items the next day because some of the paid for items were no longer in stock. No one from Ikea contacted me until the Wednesday and I could not get through on the help line after 30 minutes of trying on the Tuesday. The earliest delivery date I am now offered is 4th February 2025, I cannot trust Ikea to deliver on that date as I see online many of the items I ordered and paid for are now marked as sold out.”

“1/25, purchased mattress. Used $300 gift card and $200 on debit. Mattress was terrible. Brought back 3 days later bc of snow in Phila. Would not return our money, said it had to be in a box. Didn’t know it was even coming in a box. Don’t need anything in this store for $500. The least they could have done was return the $200 to the debit card. Never Again, bad business. Don’t even try calling customer service. So upset! Guess we had to keep that horrible matress. Phila store”

“I am leaving this review here as I am very disapointed with how Ikea has been treating us. We were due to receive our kitchen order last Monday 13th January. When I checked all items received against my invoice I realised half of it was missing. Our contractor could not finish his job without the missing items. After many calls to Ikea, we've been informed no one knows where the missing items are and a new order for those missing items was placed due to arrive tomorrow 21st January. We book again our contractor to start the job tomorrow. Today, at 7pm I receive an email with no explanation whatsover informing that my delivery has now been rescheduled to the 30 January! we contact Ikea again and no solution or explanation has been provided, we have been told that we need to wait till the 30th and there's nothing we can do. This is totally unacceptable and unprofessional from Ikea. This is honestly the worst experience of my life. We have no water, no appliances such as washing machine so we have to keep spending money in food deliveries and of course we have contractor expenses since we are still charged for his lost time. Utterly disappointed with Ikea.”

“Ikea have the worst customer service I have ever experienced. My order was partially missing, i called and arranged delivery of missing parts. The overseas call centre has sent email confirmation of delivery, this unfortunately didn't arrive, i have checked the website and they have created a return outside of the call. I rang customer service, waited on hold for 45-50 minutes, to have an unprofessional answer the phone abruptly and proceed to pretend that i could not be heard and hang up. I will never order online again with this company, My order value was $1900”

“I ordered two chest dressers from Ikea for $49.00 each in November, and they charged me a $30 delivery fee. After assembling the first dresser, I realized it didn’t fit the space, so I decided to return one since I hadn’t opened the other box. When I called to arrange the return, I was initially told the pickup fee would be $29 for a $49 dresser. When I requested a return label, the representative said she would email it to me. However, I never received the label, so I reached out to Ikea again. This time, another representative informed me that the pickup fee would actually be $49. I argued that it didn’t make sense to pay the same amount for the pickup as I did for the dresser itself. He insisted that this was their return policy. I then asked for a FedEx or UPS label, but they refused, claiming it was too small to send through those services. I'm really frustrated and have decided that I will never shop at Ikea again.”

“χειρότερη εμπειρία που είχα από ηλεκτρονικό κατάστημα,γεγονός που δεν θα περίμενα ποτέ από μια εταιρεία όπως η ΙΚΕΑ.Εξοφληθείσα παραγγελία από 31 Αυγούστου έως τις 29 Σεπτεμβρίου δεν είχε ακόμη παραδοθεί,παρά τα επανειλημμένεα emails και τηλεφωνικές επικοινωνίες με εκπροσώπους της.Η παραγγελία επρόκειτο να παραδοθεί στην Ξάνθη,στο σπίτι του φοιτητή γιου μου,όπου ταξίδεψα από την Αθήνα,προκειμένου να διευθετήσω τη διαμονή του και να παραλάβω και την εν λόγω παραγγελία.Οι εκπρόσωποι της ΙΚΕΑ,παρά τις φιλότιμες προσπάθειές τους ,δεν μπορούσαν ούτε να επικοινωνήσουν με τον μεταφορέα,και μετά από ημέρες μου είπαν ότι ίσως και να έχει χαθεί.Ακύρωση επίσης δεν μπορούσα να κάνω,αφού θα έπαιρνα τα χρήματα μου πίσω,όταν θα επέστρεφε?? η χαμένη μου παραγγελία στην ΙΚΕΑ σύμφωνα με την πολιτική τους.Έφυγα από την Ξάνθη άπρακτη και ελπίζω να ισχύει ότι θα κάνουν,όπως μου είπαν επαναποστολή από άλλο τους καταστημα.Εγώ στο μεταξύ αναγκάστηκα να αγοράσω ξανά πολλά από τα αναγκαία πράγματα που είχα παραγγείλει,για τα οποία προφανώς δεν θα αποζημιωθώ.Πέρα από τον εκνευρισμό και το άγχος που υπέστην,προσπαθώντας να επικοινωνήσω με την εταιρεία,το μάθημα που πήρα είναι ότι δεν θα ψωνίσω ποτέ ξανά από το ηλεκτρονικό κατάστημα της ΙΚΕΗ”
