They said they will deliver our stuff this afternoon between 2pm-6pm

I've been sitting my ass down here for the whole afternoon waiting for them. Can't even do shopping for dinner !

Now it is 6pm and they didn't show up. Not a single word came in my mobile.

So I called. They said they will be here in one hour !

What are those people doing !!!!!

so, did they call or not?

They didn't call me. I called them at last.

hope they do not forget the matress for tonight!!

Oh dear! Poor you!!

Kept seeing the title of this thread and wondering who Louise Ikea was.......!?

Delivery is a bit hit and miss, I've found. I was told we would have some stuff delivered by Möbel Pfister "after 14H" so I arrived home from work at 1345 to see the Möbel Pfister van driving off from the front of our apartment as I walked round the corner.

Rang the depot to find out what they were playing at but the guy said they had filled in a chit to say I was out when they called at 14H. Ran out of German-punchy argument at that point so the hubby had to call them.

They delivered the next morning at 8am.

Thanks dear, you are making me feel better...

I have to say ikea was great for me. They call me 2 days before the desire date of delivery. And confirm that day in the morning they will deliver. Then, that day they call me on their way, 30min before arriving. And there they were! I coudn't believe it!

Lucky you!


Last night when we were at the delivery-service counter, things was not right already.

The stuff at the counter was super slow, and not familiar with their system at all. But he was busy with making jokes with his fellas.They all speak French.

We waited for 20 mins. Then it took us another 20 mins to have our request made.

I lived in the Niederdorf for a while. The street I lived on had limited vehicle access times as it is a pedestrian friendly shopping street. I told IKEA that and they said, no problem, they would take it into account. I also asked them if they knew where the street was and they said yes.

Then on the agreed day they didn't turn up. I phoned to ask what was up and they said my street didn't exist as they couldn't find it on their TomTom. The lady asked me, could it be that it's a new street, maybe it's too new to be in the system. I cynically replied that the house had been here since the 15th Century and the street was probably a bit older than that but obviously not as old as IKEA's TomTom. The lady failed to spot the cynicsm and said, that would be the problem then, I should have told them it was a new street but that they were downloading new software. I told her that I had explained exactly where it was and really almost lost my patience.

At the next attempt they again failed to deliver. When I called it was because they had tried to deliver at a time that vehicular access was restricted and they hadn't been able to drive into the street. Again, I told the lady that I had explained that to them and she replied that it was only written on her copy but not on the driver's. I wondered whose fault that might be.

The next time they came they did find the house but they had the wrong stuff. That's when I started trying to cancel my order but IKEA insisted that they can only take stuff back after it's been delivered as they cannot delete it from the system.

That day IKEA lost a customer for life.

Poor you. IKEA might think they did you a favor as they didn't charge you for 3 times for the deliveries they made.

7pm, hasn't showed up yet !

Tonight we have a good reason to eat out ! IKEA Should pay for it !

finally! Delivered !

I noticed that the time in EF hasn't been changed into summer time

Now we will not heard from Fei in a long long time...he will be busy I guess

Hello~~~Im here~~~~

what did you bought at IKEA? cushionss??

not one cushion but two.


Actually it was a wardrobe

At least they delivered it at 8am.

Pfister rang our door bell at 6.45am, bloody [insert foulest swear word here] - and the furniture wasnt even meant for us but my dear neighbour upstairs who arranged for a 7am delivery.

better to order in bulk and then rent a van from ikea to deliver it. much cheaper
