What IKEA Services are there?

Most people in London perceive Ikea stores merely as a brand for ready-to-assemble furniture, that has a nice restaurant selling Swedish goodies, but there are quite a few more most people are not aware of. The knock down furnishing pioneer has more to offer! Here are a few of the IKEA services:

“Shopping with IKEA always saves us money and it can also save you time and effort. We offer a range of services to help you with everything from putting it together to getting it home. Of course, the more you do yourself, the lower the price will be. And the more we do for you, the more you can sit back and relax!”

Ikea.com, the leading seller and manufacturer of ready-to-assemble flat pack furniture.

All written above is an excerpt from IKEA’s website. This text meets all visitors on the sub-page dedicated to all their different services available in each Ikea store. There are 12 public services that the home furnishing company has to offer. Being the world’s leading flat pack retailer, IKEA has a special place in the life of the average flat pack lover in London.

The 12 Ikea Services

#1. Home delivery – Same day and Next day delivery

Your independent pick up & delivery

Your vehicle can’t fit all the furniture and accessories you’ve bought?

You simply can’t handle the the whole process by yourself?

The official IKEA home delivery description:

“Most of our products are flat packed and designed in such a way that they are easy for you to take home yourself. However, if you prefer we can deliver the same day/next day for you within the store delivery area**. We can also arrange delivery outside this area** and at a later date on selected items. Please speak to a co-worker in the store for more information. Terms and conditions apply.”

– Ikea.com, Home delivery

Basically, what the fist asterisk tells you is you shouldn’t hope too much and the second one – your address is not within the store delivery area. And no, I’m not being sarcastic, this is experience speaking. However forum feedback and online reviews have often rated Ikea’s service as highly unreliable



#2. Ikea collection – Pick up & Delivery

You could also see this as a Collection and Delivery service but it is slightly different. Instead of wasting time throughout Ikea’s enormous shops or while driving back home you could save the hassle and nerves and have it all done for you.

The Ikea collection and delivery to-do list:

Make up your shopping list of units

Place your order either with an IKEA’s co-workers or a flat pack specialized company

Take care of assembly

Enjoy your new furnishing

Flat pack professionals like Fantastic Handyman and Fantastic Furniture Assembly will arrange and carry the delivery and assemblage for you. This is everything you need to know about this combined IKEA pick up and delivery service.



#3. Hire a van – Drive your new furnishing home by yourself

Delivery furniture home yourself – the IKEA has van hire service.

Because they cater for all your needs. You should note, however, that this service is not available in every store. The main benefit is the same with all ready to assembly units – to cut labor costs.



#4. Old Furniture – Recycling has been thought of

A great and unpopular Ikea service but how does it work?

All your old furniture will be re-used by a charity organization to aid people in need. The aim is a try to give it a new life with local families in need of support. In the event that any item is not reusable, it will be disassembled and recycled with the lowest environmental impact.

IKEA will take your existing bed, mattress, sofa or appliance away for you, when they deliver your new purchase for a non-profit fee.
