Ikea 1 star review on 13th September 2025

"\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."

“Today is 1/30. We have been trying to reach customer service since 1/11 to get a replacement component for an item we ordered on line that was damaged. The message we get is that it’s unavailable. We sent an email and finally got a response. We were told it would take 5-7 business days to receive a replacement. We have a case reference number but haven’t been able to find where we can get a delivery status. With no one answering the phones we’re stuck.”

“I have been trying to order online and your website platform is not functioning properly. It is horrendous and keeps dropping out. Trying to print a shopping list is ridiculous googled how to and instructions are good but don't apply to the lists I have saved couldn't get it to print because the drop-down menu was as described. I then found out that it costs $20 to click & collect. Amazingly ridiculous. If you want to lose customers your going the right way about it. Your website is malfunctioning and it's so difficult when it keeps dropping off. Also, try air conditioning your shops so uncomfortable shopping in any Ikea store in Sydney.”

“We ordered a desk and paid the extra $20 to have it shipped to the Whitby pick-up point. On the day we had arranged a truck to pick up the desk, my wife could not make the one hour trip and we were worried that because it was purchased in her name I wouldn’t be allowed to pick it up for her. A call to PAUL at customer services set us at ease. He explained clearly what was necessary for me to pick it up for her and assured me I would have no problems in Whitby. He was absolutely right! I was in and out in 5 minutes or less. The staff at the Whitby pick-up point were very efficient and friendly.”

“Great customer service experience! I recently emailed ikea about a small manufacturers defect that appeared on a kitchen table I purchased 6 months ago. They replied immediately, reviewed my email and sent a brand new table the following week! I found this to be amazing customer service! This experience alone will make me choose Ikea for my next furniture purchase.”

“I purchased a couch online after seeing it in the store. Following ordering instructions, I included "large item delivery"; "Flat rate pricing- Unlimited number of pieces - Delivery beyond your door: your whole delivery can be brought into your home or business to one room of your choice." Removal Services (mattres, appliance, sofas) are available when you purchase a delivery of a like service...additional fees may apply. " During the purchase process I wasn't prompted and did not see any other options for delivery. The truck arrived yesterday and dropped the items in my garage and left me with two huge boxes and no way for me to move such large heave items into my house by myself. I was really stuck! and they informed me they didn't haul old items away. I had ordered "BASIC" delivery only. I called Ikea service and asked how we could "fix" this but they offered no real solution. They could arrange pick-up my old couch for an additional $50 but that was the least of my problem. My city can pick it up for free if it can get it out to the street... I am very disappointed. It is a misunderstanding, yes. But I did read and try to understand the web-site when I was ordering and I am still confused when read it. I wasn't trying to save a few bucks! If I was to order a similar item in the future, at this point, I still wouldn't know how to do it but I certainly would make some phone calls to verify and ask more questions. My past experiences with other companies (like Costco for instance) have been exactly the opposite and exceeded my expectations and their delivery was included in the price, they called, conformed what I needed to do, , scheduled the time window... Ikea did none of this.”

“My family and I had a horrific experience with IKEA yesterday. After finding out that we had to pay and then pick up an item with customer service, we headed to the waiting area. First and foremost, I believe someone should have informed us how long the wait would be - to give us the option to stay and wait or to leave and come pick later to pick it up. My family and I waited for three hours. Beyond ridiculous. After an hour and a half, I finally couldn't take it anymore so I went up to the desk and asked what is the hold-up because our number was in the "red zone" for all this time. The rep. told me that our merchandise requires a forklift so that's why it's taking so long and to give them another 15 minutes. 15 minutes turned into 45 and still nothing. IKEA got to do better before they start losing loyal customers. Because this experience has left a bad taste in our mouth.”

“I wish there was a lower star rating. I tried to buy a bed. Finally reached customer service. i wished to pick up the order at the store. No Can Do you must use online order. My password did not work I requested a new number. You can not get a new number unless you enter your old number. It I had the old number I would not need the new one. You can not call the store directly. Customer Service, as indicated by so many people can not answer phone too much activity. What a cluster! Worst Customer Service Ever Award. Give up you will be a happier customer.”

“Over Christmas we ordered a bed, two side lockers and a bookcase. It was to be delivered on the 6th of January. Four delivery dates later and I've finally cancelled my order and demanded my money back. My kid has been sleeping on the floor for the past 11 days because we obviously had to get rid of her bed (for the night we thought!) in order to have room to put the new one in. Our house is a mess because everything from her bedroom has been moved out of it and into other rooms, all just for the night we thought. I've had to take four days off work, because no one bothered to phone us to tell us that the stuff wasn't being delivered , on any occassion, despite the fact that we specifically asked after the first cock-up if they would make sure to tell us, so I'd only miss a half day in work instead of a full day. Add to that the fact that on our third delivery date we were told everything was now in Ireland and on the fourth one were told the reason we hadn't gotten it was some of it was still in England. They wanted to deliver half a bed! So quite obviously someone was telling us porkies. My advice to anyone considering buying a large amount of goods from Ikea and depending on it being delivered ever is DONT DO IT!”

“I ordered a dresser online. Three boxes were delivered which were not packed correctly. No hardware, extra wooden pieces and drawer fronts but not enough pieces to put other parts of the dresser together. Nothing is labeled so when one thing is missing , its hard to tell what else is missing until you have tried to put it together. Getting someone on the phone is really hard. I have currently been on hold for 30+ minutes and this is after I have spoken to one person already. The only way I could get a person on the phone was to press the sales prompt. Any other option stated that they are experiencing higher than normal call volumes and not accepting calls at the time. This has occurred on 12 out of the 16 calls I have made to them. I will never order from Ikea again. This is ridiculous. And I'm still on hold. My total call time at this point is 43 minutes. I feel that my problem requires speaking to someone at this point and not just emailing someone since there are so many random parts missing. Ikea, you really need to step up your customer service game. You could have gotten a lot more purchases out of me since we are furnishing a new house. But this is not worth it.”

“I ordered 3 kallax bookshelves from Ikea.com US. I've never ordered from them online and wanted to try it because I don't have a big enough truck to haul the boxes. I took a screenshot of my online order number in case the email confirmation got lost in my spam. Total shipping was $39. After my purchase I never received a confirmation email of my order. This worried me a bit. I checked back online in the customer service section and was able to look up by my order number in the tracking section (thank goodness I had the screenshot for my order number). It was there which eased my worry a little bit. Still was unsure. Email did finally arrive in my inbox, but was only an notification that it has shipped. No layout of what I purchased, just that it has shipped. Next day I received another email that it is ready to be delivered. From the asterisk in the email it said, "*12 hour time window: You will receive a phone call the day before the scheduled delivery date with a 4 hour time window." My time in the email was a 12 hour so I assumed I'd get a phone call the day before. That phone call never happened. The day of delivery, I took off work to make sure I was available for the 12 hours. When I looked online, their delivery policy seems very strict about having someone there to sign for the delivery. I didn't want to miss it. Since I didn't get the phone call, I started looking at ikea reviews. Oh man did I find so many bad ones. Now I'm getting paranoid about my shipment not arriving, or it comes damaged, or I have to call customer service and deal with that headache. My mind was racing. I thought about calling ikea just in case to try and get the shippers info to call them (ikea uses a 3rd party shipping company) to get an estimate. Since from the email, I should have received a phone call with a 4 hour window the day before delivery. I waiting a couple hours, had lunch and then got a phone call. The driver was 15 mins away and letting me know. What a relief! I was so happy that there was some status to the delivery and I didn't want to be on the phone for hours with ikea. Delivery arrived on time and nothing was damaged. Very fast and efficient. Signed the papwork and everything was good. No missing items. My overall experience using ikea.com has been great. Was worried at first especially reading previous reviews. I do feel like ikea should have been better with updates and the order confirmation. Makes it a little unnerving when I can't view my order when I login and can only track it with the order number. Overall, I'm happy everything worked out in the end. I wanted to share my experience since most of the reviews are bad.”

“I ordered my couch at the store l, as they were out of stock. The store clerk told me the couch would be delivered the following Sunday. I was told I would get a call that day giving me a time frame for delivery. I received a call on Saturday telling me between 9-1 pm. At about 10am i received another call telling me the driver was between 5-30 minutes away. I am very satisfied with the delivery, and the Estorp couch!!”

“This review applies to Sunrise, Florida IKEA: Horrible customer service once something has been purchased. The kitchen planner I worked with in the store was polite and very helpful. But once that was finished, I've had problem after problem. Delivery of damaged items and unnecessary items. Trying to sort out credits for returned items. Many, many calls and emails to both Ikea administration and Traemand installers trying to work out logistics. Rude and unhelpful 'customer service' personnel in Administration. Everyone I dealt with tried to pass the blame on to another employee or department. They put the burden of responsibility on the customer to sort out all the problems created and they expect customers to coordinate solutions between IKEA and Traemand, Awful!”

“Return policy very limiting. Seven months after a new Ikea store opened I needed to return a defective lamp(less than $12...) of course I don't hold on to a receipt for an item like this. The original Ikea tags were still on the item. The credit card used for this purchase recently had been replaced. They refused any exchange or credit without either of these items. This is ridiculous and will seriously impact my decisions on any future purchases!”

“Nothing went wrong. CTV has played your Christmas commercial non stop it’s so obtrusive I mute my tv. To advertise is perfectly capitalist of you. To play that commercial non stop is horrible. I know it sounds petty but I won’t be shopping in Toronto at your store for a year. Love the store great store. Your commercial and the amount I had to see and hear it was borderline torture. Bibity Bobity bye.”

“Ordered furniture from ikea website. The items were out of stock in store but were availble for online purchase. Paid for the items and got a confirmation email with an order number. After 3 days i was informed by IKEA that one of the item is not in stock and will be available after 2 months and therefore they have cancelled my order. Now my money is tied up with IKEA as the refund may take 1-3 weeks and in the meantime i am unable to buy the home furniture from anywhere else. The item which IKEA told me is out of stock is still shown as available for online purchase and IKEA has not removed it from their website or listed as out of stock. More customers will buy that item online and then will be disappointed after their orders will be cancelled by IKEA and their money gets tied up.”

“Two Things We ordered for a 6*3.5 with storage cot, the stock was checked it was available and hence we paid the money. Next day we are told it is not there and will come after Feb 15th. since we spent about half a day on an urgent requirement it was a big disappointment and time waste. We ordered for 2 vertical wall stands. The concerned person told us that we can fix it on the walls. Carpenter tells us that it is only for a wooden panel and not for a cement wall. We have decided Ikea is Ok for candles and lamps and perhaps cinnamon buns. anything more permanent and costlier is risky”
