"\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."

“Had not been to Gateshead Ikea for years and won't go back. Terrible service and Customer Services are not even interested. Never seen anything like it when the customer in front of me decided to pay cash. Asda, Morrisons, Sainsburys, M&S etc., would simply fold if they went on like this. On top of this, I had to walk almost half a mile for 2 items. Save yourself some stress, shop elsewhere, you have been warned.”

“Ikea is the most unorganized company when ordering for delivery. Ordered a shoe cabinet. Told there were 6 in stock. I was given a delivery date and time. They charged my card within minutes. One week later no cabinet and no update. Called them and they tell me it was never in stock but on backorder. Now to get a refund they say it will take 7-10 business days. Thats BS. How can they charge my card in minutes but it takes 7-10 days for a refund. Very poor operation. Would not order again from IKEA.”

“No delivery on due date, no update, no replies to all my emails of enquiry, no answer after waiting for 35 minutes on their customer service line ....several times. I'm completely in the dark about what to do next. Goodbye to £600??? Shocking behaviour for such a big company”

“The worst customer service I have ever experienced. I don't say this lightly they have been totally useless other than one employee who helped us design our kitchen and even then we are a year down the line with no kitchen and he is powerless to help. Contact with them is non existent have spoken to a Manager after over an hours wait on the line on a couple of occasions and then nothing comes from it with no follow up contact. I have sent numerous emails with details that get ignored and have received nothing back from my email of complaint what's so ever. One would think communication would be key to a trusted company. To say we are frustrated is an understatement.”

“I ordered the Alexa file, which does not accommodate standard U.S. hanging files. The display unit did not include the IKEA hanging files to show me what I needed to buy. And of course, the files are current out of stock and I live 45 miles away from the store.”

“Really unhelpful customer service. Their return system doesn't work and they are not willing to even send a barcode, which should be in the email they send, but isn't. Now I'm stuck with faulty goods.”

“One of the biggest brand with worst customer services, they sent 3 brown drawers and 3 white drawers instead of All white and later asked third party to come and dismantle the half product which was installed before unpacking the brown drawers. They took months and finally I have to come personally for replacement and still there is no cooperation.....pathetic services.”

“I ordered a shelf unit and 5 inserts delivered. The inserts were delivered, but the shelf unit was not. I called Ikea to be told that the item was backordered. No one called or emailed to tell me this. The rep told me they don't notify customers anymore. They don't know when it will be in stock. Obviously the inserts are useless without the shelf. It will take 2 weeks to get my money back. BEWARE - when you order online, it does not come from your local store, even though the order process makes it seem like it does. Just because it is available in your store does not mean it is available in the distribution center. What a waste of time.”

“Go to hell Ikea! I was waiting for a Linnmon table top replacement for 2 months and twice they got my hopes up that it will be delivered but they cancelled twice and was refunded. I tried to order it again only but these fuckers want me to pay a $129 delivery fee for a $8.99 item! Go To Hell Ikea!!”

“If I could rate 0 star I would. I had a warranty case that was approved online. When I finally returned the item. They had the item in the store for three weeks with no resolution. When I finally spoke to some one they mentioned they have been trying the reach me on a different number. Yet they had my email and could have sent me an email. They are totally unfair because they took the item and refuse to supply the replacement.”

“If I could give it 0 stars I would. Don’t waste your money with this place been waiting for my delivery for a month and a half .I order my stuff on June 26th and they said it would be deliver on July 30, so I waited they said it was on the truck 9 stops away, never made it , they change it for the August 1, they said should arrive is 20 stops away they change the date for t August 3, they said truck broke down that is bs , so they changed it again for today August 13th no call or email just kept me waiting again. My husband called customer service the lady was very polite but again she didn’t know when I will be getting my delivery. What I don’t understand is as soon as you purchase something they take your money and yet they know you are not getting your merchandise any time soon .WORST COMPANY EVER. Now let’s see how long to get my refund. Pay a little more somewhere else at least you now you will be getting your merchandise.”

“Would not give a single star, except in order to vent, I am forced to give at least one. ikea does not deserve any stars imho. Grillo pan is cheap a8i49 junk do not order it. Teflon coating peeling off making it extremely dangerous to use. Took three phone calls, more than 45 mins on hold - then abruptly disconnected without speaking w/human. Are there any humans that work at ikea customer no-service?? Finally got thru on live chat-took hours of trying. Prince was useless, even with as much info as I could give him, he was incapable or unwilling to look up an order via name, address, phone, email ... are you kidding me. What kind of low budget company is this that csr cannot find an order using a customer name? For 15 minutes I begged Prince to get a supervisor involved; he reluctantly got Anvish to help. Anvish made me go thru the same agonizing questions as Prince, it was worse than pulling teeth with out medication!!!!!!! The goal was to be as annoying and obtuse as possible and both Anvish and Prince get the award for that one. Finally, after almost 90 minutes of hair pulling, gut wrenching, excruciating back and forth repetitive chat, Anvish agreed that a credit would be issued. BUT, he could not provide proof via email, could only give a case number that may or may not be legit and it would take 7 to 14 business days ( meaning in real time it would be 3 weeks ) If ikea is so inept that they are unable or unwilling to process a customer refund in a timely manner, they should shut their doors. I for one will never spend another penny with them and will let any and all know the corporate policy on refunds is to hold you hostage on the chat for as long as you will tolerate it and to hang up on you multiple times on the customer no-service line hoping you just give up. Shame on you ikea, you need me, I do not need you!!!!!!!”

“I am a 99% online shopper. I have frequently made purchase and returned items to other stores with no problem. However, that is not true with Ikea. First off, they do not provide free return shipping. After paying $17.00 to return the items to the closet store near me, and waiting 2 weeks, I called customer service, waiting 10 minutes to talk to representative. I was then informed, that even though my package was delivered 2 weeks earlier, it wasn't processed until 2 days ago because they had "other returns. Now I have to wait up to another 14 days from now for my refund. All in all , it will take about a month when other sites take days. My advice, only order from Ikea if you're positive you are going to keep it. Very disappointed and will not be ordering from them again!”

“I placed an order and when the order didn't come, I checked the order status and saw that it was supposed to be delivered a week and a half later. When that second date came and went with no delivery, I checked my order status again and saw that it had not even been shipped! When I finally reached a customer service rep, they told me that the items were backordered with no anticipated date of deliver!! I cannot believe that a company could do that to a customer without some form of communication/compensation!!”

“Bought 2 sofas minus armrests as they were not in stock on 19th July from Perth. Told armrests would be in in a few days. Rang up the stock check line every day to be told it was arriving the following day for 2 weeks. Spent over 10 hours on the phone chasing up. Got told this morning that shipment is not sure to arrive for another 4 weeks! stock in all other stores, but will not send. Can send from Sydney warehouse but will now arrive for 4 weeks anyway! Lachlan the manager would not contact anyone else to speed up delivery. Crazy system that you cannot order out of stock items or even be told an accurate date for when they would be in stock again! Will not be purchasing anything else from Ikea again.”
