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."

“I placed an online order on January 10th with the delivery date of January 16th. On the 16th only part of my order was delivered, but IKEA informed me that the entire order was delivered. Upon speaking with a representative I was told there was a "mix up" and my order was not completed even though the records showed otherwise. The representative could give me no explanation as to why the delivery was incomplete but that I would have to wait for a new delivery date for the 25th. In checking my delivery status online on the 23rd, I saw that my delivery had been changed for the 31st of January. I received no notification informing me of this change or that there was a delay. After spending over an hour on hold, I finally spoke to another representative who simply told me my only option was to wait for the new delivery. This is getting absolutely ridiculous. The fact that IKEA can't fix a simple delivery screw up within 24-48hrs is unacceptable. Being told that I would just have to wait for the problem to fix itself is horrible customer service. Further, when I asked if I could change the order from delivery to pick up, I was told this was not an option and received no reason as to why. Come on IKEA, you can do better.”

“I ordered items online for delivery, they didn't turn up! I'd changed plans to ensure I was in and having received confirmation the items would be delivered on the specified date I assumed it was all ok. Nothing was sent on the delivery date, and when I contacted Ikea, they informed me that there had been a problem with stock. I had to cancel the order and they ordered the same items from a local store, promising delivery 3 days later. I stayed in to wait and received no notification that there was an issue. I then contacted then again and was informed the order had not been sent out. This company goes beyond incompetent, I will never purchase anything from them again.”

“Ikea is a deeply organised shop so I could check online where my wanted items would be and if they were in stock. I could quickly race round the shop with my list and a big trolley. The items are well packaged and boxed so it was easy to get them into my car. I could check on the website how big the packages would be so I knew they would all fit in my car. All in all a very well thought out and smooth shopping experience. Furniture was easy to put together and is sturdy and long lasting”

“I didn't receive my order and when I tracked it on the IKEA site it just gave me the date I ordered it with no information.Looks as though it wasn't even processed. I called several times and was placed on hold for over an hour each time! Finally someone answered and when I started talking she acted like she couldn't here me which is bogus , then hung up. Ridiculous!!! You can't email anyone. You can only fill out a general question form. When I did that it errored out and said "something went wrong". Really????! I need this order for a wedding which is next week. I'm extremely angry and will NEVER order from this company again.”

“Ikea US's customer service is (and I say this without hyperbole) the worst I've ever received. I've spent a total of 4 hours on hold over 5 phone calls. Some calls take over an hour (not an exaggeration) before you can even talk to a person. I've been promised call backs that never happened and refunds that never posted. The people you talk to seem competent, but the phone line is obviously VERY understaffed. And the complaints about really long hold times goes back over a decade. This is obviously a problem Ikea knows about, and just doesn't care.”

“We were shopping at IKEA Burbank this weekend trying to buy a sofa bed. we faced the issue with price mismatch btw actual price and the price showed in the system on it so the cashier Michael was so helpful and did his best to solve the issue along with his manager ( forgot her name) and honored the price for us. Michael was very kind, professional and very customer oriented. Thank you!”

“Where do I start? While shopping on a Friday night we were told that we could have delivery the following day, much to our surprise. Spent all of Saturday awaiting a shipment that never came. While waiting, realized that the salesperson had missed slats for the bed we bought. Customer service recommended a return trip to the store for the slats and to "keep my head in a good space." ??? Flew down to Ikea again and purchased slats for bed and blew home. Spent over an hour on phone with customer service to find out that because the order was place late on a Friday evening, the shipping company could not fulfill the order. Why then did the shipping company call me at 9:30 a.m. to confirm the delivery? Shipping company told rep they had "attempted to contact the customer." How can that be when neither my husband nor I got a call from them? Ikea rep said that the soonest delivery would be Thursday. Well aren't I a fool for believing that the beds would be delivered when promised and going ahead and getting rid of the existing beds so the assembly could take place? I tried to call the store and see if I could get the shipping any faster because my girls don't have beds right now, but I am dumped right back in the main Ikea number. There is no one I can talk to at the store, apparently. Hey Ikea, your assembly/delivery service is a hot (lying) mess! I have no idea if these beds will even show up on Thursday. Whatever happened to customer service? Why am I reduced to complaining online? The associate in the store was delighted to help me part with $1,000, but now there. is absolutely no one for me to speak with about this. $29 for delivery?? That's extraordinary! Except that it isn't.”

“I used the kitchen planning service and the guy who berated me for questioning him because he had years of experience and knew what he was doing got my order wrong. Had to wait on hold an hour with customer service to figure this out. I will now be driving 4 hours to get the part he forgot. I am not happy. The cabinets are hard to put together. Everything is delivered in parts. Try finding what you need in a hundred boxes. We have been working all day and still don’t have the cabinets installed. Won’t ever do this again. Wish I had ordered somewhere else.”

“IKEA package didn't contain enough screws! We purchased a day bed online which arrived today. Upon attempting to construct the bed I noticed that I couldn't even complete step one because they had sent the wrong amount of screws. In fact of of set 1 5 out of the 8 screws were in the wrong amount. When calling IKEA of their mistake they said they could send the missing screws in 2 weeks. 2 weeks!! That's long than the actual bed took!! As this is their mistake I would expect them to over night the missing screws to rectify their inconstance. I am utterly shocked and disgusted over their incompetence and lack of customer service. They charge £35 for delivery and they can't even deliver, it's a disgrace.”

“They didn't, confusing delivery messages that contradicted each other and a very rude customer service person when I rang up to confirm delivery slot. Our delivery arrived incorrectly and damaged.”

“Ikea, delivery, rubbish service. Waited in today for two sets of drawers. Delivery turned up with only one set, they told us the other was missing and they knew about it this morning, then told us we had to sort it out. Have rung and hopefully will get them Friday (although we needed them today). So, why, if they knew they were missing this morning did they not ring us then, and why as they know they are missing, have we got to ring and sort it all out , bloody nightmare. Have always paid and brought things home ourselves before, but was not able to this time, but I will never ever use the delivery service again. I was going to get a kitchen next but reading all the reviews online (I wish I had read them before) I have decided not to get it from Ikea I think Ikea need to look at a more efficient delivery service otherwise they will loose customers and sales.”

“Ikea just wasn't what it used to be. We made 3 return trips due to missing parts, bent screws and incomplete manuals. There appears to be a lack of precision and quality control.”
