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 have made an order on may 29th and I still haven’t received it, it’s June 1st. I have LITERALLY called over 200 times. I’ve called ikea and the shipping company and then the warehouse itself, each person would tell me a different story and that they will get in contact with me within 1-2 days but no body ever called or got back to ,e. I’ve send emails, went on the website, sent complaints but it’s like talking to a wall. Literally a wall or a bunch of minions that don’t know what they’re doing with their job. I’m so disappointed and I’m never dealing with ikea Again in my life.”

“I'm glad my first experience with IKEA online was only $400. I have a new home to furnish but it won't include anything from IKEA. On 4/20 I ordered a vanity with an estimated date a week or two out. Then, after paying for the item, the delivery date was changed to 43 DAYS out! So, I immediately cancelled the order but was told by CS that my credit would take 3-5 days. Nothing as of 10 days later. They don't answer the phone, or emails. Only after finding an email for "Press Inquiries" was I able to have a message passed long to. I then received a message that "It will be taken care of today" - no such luck. Additionally, I'm now told it will still take 3-5 days AFTER IKEA does its job - which may be never. Advice: DO NOT BUY ANYTHING ONLINE FROM IKEA. if you shop in their store, be CERTAIN of what you are getting and paying for. Way too many online complains about IKEA. Wish I had read first. Caveat emptor!”

“IKEA and many more should not be permitted to advertise for on line business. Its a scam… they simply torture their clients and abuse their consumer rights.. Like many reviews below, placed an online order, and believed their delivery… The items are to turning a tenanted accommodation. IKEA has not delivered and my tenant is threatening that I lied to him…. I have no excuse. I really wonder, what are these companies gaining by torturing their clients ? They have no system, no service and no remorse… should they really exist? Is the UAE the land that such companies can exist ? Very sad.”

“I gave an order on April 13th, 2020. Today is April 28th, 2020 and there is no improvement in my order. It still looks preparing. I try to call and send emails but no answer. They took the money but no products and no information. I feel like I am doing business with a mafia organization. Next time I will be aware and prepared for doing business with a mafia organization. I am really sad about this, I used and liked IKEA so much as an interior designer. I am so disappointed. At least do like Canadian tire and closed online shopping, If you cannot do it right.

“Order placed on the 11th of April 2020 and as per your available dates shown in the system for delivery was 26th of April 2020 between 10am and 1 pm Today is the 28th and we have no idea about the delivery. It’s so unprofessional that no person from IKEA have called us and provided an update and also we have tried all numbers and none of them work Order no. WEBO0298691 This is the first time we used the online platform of IKEA Dubai and it is really unprofessional. Customer service is one of the worst you could find in UAE”

“Don't expect any customer service. I bought a lamp in store, installed the majority of it on my ceiling, and realized a final plastic piece was missing that allows me to finish the installation. I found an online form to receive the missing part, filled it out, and never received anything from them. Just called and they aren't accepting calls for after-service support due to high call volumes. After asking in the sales department to speak to a supervisor and remaining on hold for 30 minutes, a resolution specialist told me that the only solution is to return the lamp to the store, there's nothing they can do for me because I didn't purchase online. The stores are all closed and there's no way to get this part for who knows how long. They were completely unable to help me in any way shape or form. This exposes a gaping hole in Ikea's customer support. If their products work as expected, great, but if you have a problem, good luck getting any sort of service.”

“So furious!! I understand what is happening around and how Covid 19 affects everything BUT what is the point in allowing customers to still order from the website and have it 'delivered' if they wont be available for the next 6 months???? OF COURSE, why losing customers as long as they got the money they think it is ok for us to just wait. I ordered on the 18 of March , said 1 week delivery, paid £40 to have it delivered within that time and surprise, got an email saying ' we are sorry but we rescheduled it for the 18th of May!!!! WTF?? I cant even cancel as they dont accept refunds yet, can't have my money back neither the products!! I'm so angry and disappointed. Tried calling all sorts of numbers to get in touch, they redirect me to all chargeable numbers £1/PM call and still nowhere to be found. This is ridiculous, .. I wanted to see if I'm the only one in this situation seems like I'm not same story either you guys. So frustrating!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡😠😠😠😠😠😠😠👊👊👊”

“I placed an order online and the delivery date came and went with no update. At least other companies send notifications about shipment delays and cancellations. I could not get through to customer service so I sent an email asking them to cancel my order. Unfortunately they won’t refund the shipping fee. They should stop taking online orders during this COVID-19 pandemic.”

“LOL. I had to pick one star just to be able to write the review. Wish I had read these before I chose to do business with IKEA. I would already have custom made cabinets installed and my construction project would nearly be complete. So many fingers pointing at North American Logistics. The problem is not NAL (in my experience) it is with IKEA. The folks who answer the phone can't do anything. They can't cancel your order (even though it hasn't left IKEA and they have charged your credit card 30 days ago), they can't find out when it it will leave their warehouse to go to packaging, which then goes to the trucking company. I am not sure what the purpose of 888-888-4532. That's just an illegal racket. Charge the card, get the money and then not deliver. We have not received the goods, no one can tell us when we will and we have tried to cancel. We will dispute the charge and let Visa deal with them. DON'T. EVER.SHOP.AT. IKEA online. Covid otherwise. Their problems have been going on for years. Not sure why I bother writing this. Ikea does not care.”

“Ordered items online on 13/4/2020 (the first and the last time). Received a confirmation that it would be delivered in 3 working days. Given the COVID-19 situation I expected delays but not my parcel being never delivered. I received an sms on 17/4/2020 by speedpost that my parcel was arriving, my parcel never came. A check on speed post website showed failed delivery address not correct!!! Returning to sender. Wrote to ikea via email on 20/04/2020, only received an acknowledgement but no solution. Called ikea on 23/4/2020,hung on the line an hour before a "efficient" customer service officer by the name of Rara took the call. Her answer was very simple I need to check with speed post, wld you like to hold on the line or give u a call back? Asked if she would call me back by today and she answered definitely by today. I said OK. It has past more than a day and no call. I tried to call ikea and the line does not even go thru. Horrible customer service will never use their online services again.”

“NOT RECOMMENDED TO ORDER ONLINE DURING COVID19. Online ordered 4/12/20. Card was charged immediately. No email confirmation. Over a week to get through to anyone at support. After apologizing to me for not receiving an email and order details, I provided my email address and was told, "I'll resend you a confirmation email and will get another email from the delivery service prior to delivery which should be 4/30"...still waiting for that first email...First experience with IKEA's online ordering...probably will never order with IKEA online again.”

“Disappointed with Ikea. In fact furious. Ordered items online to be delivered 27th March. The delivery was meant to take place between 9.00-13.00, no one showed up. By 13.30 received an email stating they were sorry but there has been a problem and i should wait to be contacted by Ikea. After nearly 2 weeks I had not heard from them and decided to call them to be told that they tried to deliver but could not find the address, this in Portimão (Praia da Rocha). Couldn't understand why it was so difficult to find with so much techoligy available niwadays. They have then told me that it had to be rearranged and it would cost me another delivery fee (€35.00). I was very angry but have agreed to pay it as the good are to refurbish a bathroom and had a builder set up to do it. Surprise, surprise!!!! On the next delivery there wasn't any problem about finding the address. I contacted customer care/ apoio ao client about this but after a week have not heard from them. Totally disgusting and unaceptable behaviour.”

“I'm done with IKEA. Tried ordering over 6K in Kitchen cabinets but was sent on a wild goose chase with their "online store". Long story short it's been over 2 months of planning this and none of their items are available once you make it to checkout. Tried contacting them via email (not possible) and by the phone (also not possible). They've made me so mad that I'm actually wasting my time writing a REVIEW! You kidding me!?! What am I doing with my life? Lastly I'm a contractor and have used IKEA before but those days are done! I'll be sure to tell all my friends as well.”

“I placed an order on line on 26 March 2020 for 2 Grundtal shelves. Delivery was to be 26 April 2020 but payment was taken at the time of ordering rather than at despatch. Today I recived an emailed credit reciept (the money has not yet been replaced to my credit card), it appears that my order has been cancelled. No explanation and no reason given. These items are still available on the Ikea website to order and for delivery. Would definitely not use the Ikea online ordering again, lots of publicity but no action!”

“I just wanted to write a review here on the service I've received from Ikea. I wrote a product review on the Ikea website but they refused to publish it after it was moderated by their staff. Ikea seem unable to provide a good reason why it was moderated and this tells me a lot about the company and how they operate. The overall experience of the product and their service from Ikea was very poor. I've bought a lot of items from Ikea in the past and have had some disappointing items and some decent ones. This latest experience was far from perfect though. I bought and assembled a product which was obviously very poorly designed. Immediately after building the item some of the plastic clips started failing and the product wouldn't hold together. I took the assembled product back to my local Ikea store. The store staff refused to let me have a refund though as I'd already built it. I told them it was faulty and they still refused. I asked for a manager and eventually got to see somebody. The manager told me that there was nothing wrong with it and they sell thousands with no issue, so it must be to do with how I built it rather than the product (I've since checked for other reviews on this item and I'm not alone and it is definitely a product quality issue). I refused to leave the store until I had my money back. Eventually they agreed to give me a credit note....not ideal and I'm sure that's against consumer rights, but anyway, it's all they were prepared to do. It's frustrating enough to buy and then take the effort to build something, then to have to take it all the way back to the store, only to be treated by the store staff like you're not at all valued as a customer. This was amongst the worst customer service I've ever experienced. You've got a lot to learn about how to treat your customers Ikea and please don't try to prevent genuine reviews from being posted on your website.”
