Very bad service. Please only accept the orders you can deliver. Stop acting in a dodgy way. Also, what happens with IKEA in France is horrible. Spying on costumers and staff... very bad. I hope you are not doing the same in UK. I lost plenty of on your web site looking for items. But wend I went to pay to my surprise you do not deliver a lot of them in my area. We could have told me this before.

My experience is the same as everyone else here... Terrible! I ordered a bookshelf and was told that it would take a minimum of 6 weeks. It has been 8 weeks now and since, I've had no updates. You can't contact customer service either. They immediately charge you and there's no way you can cancel your order and no way of knowing what's going on with your order. Their click and collect service is also constantly unavailable. It's simply pathetic

Had to ask to cancel my online order that I placed a month ago, I have no idea where my order is or when it will be delivered. I originally got an "estimated delivery" of May 10th... two weeks later and I have no idea where it is or the status. I called IKEA and they couldn't tell me anything, told me to look online. Online tells me nothing doesn't even show I placed an order. Thankfully I have an email with my order number. I will never order anything from IKEA ever again. They are sure making a killing off of cancellations since they don't refund delivery fees, $49 from me for do nothing at all.

I ordered furniture with the expected delivery date of 5/20/2020 set by IKEA, the order didn't show up, so I went to track my order and it said it was cancelled however I was still charged. So I called customer service, waited on hold for literally 3 hours, got someone on the phone to check what happened and after giving them my order number, they put me back on hold for another 45 minutes and disconnected the phone! I called again, waited another 2 hours and the person who answered just automatically hung up!! I can't get ahold of anyone, Ive called continuously throughout the day and no one is willing to help. IKEA and their customer service line is absolute trash. I understand there is a pandemic, but the absolute lack and refusal to help their customers is just maddening. I still do not have a resolution to my issue, no furniture and no refund.

Ordered over a month ago. Was told due to covid, order wouldn’t be received for a month- fine, totally understand. What i don’t understand is why I can’t get get an update on status via the website, can’t send an email, can’t get a hold of anyone on the phone. They have taken my money and provides zero in return. It is not unreasonable to expect communication about an order- even if it is to tell be it is delayed. Otherwise I’m assuming you’ve basically stolen my money. This is completely unacceptable

My experience is the same as everyone’s below: ordered a bookcase, confirmed receipt emailed to me, delivery date promised, item not delivered. Customer service cannot be contacted. Ikea should simply stop taking orders that it doesn’t plan on filling. This company is scamming people!

I ordered items to be delivered on 4/16/2020. The charge posted to my credit card on 4/17/2020. After completing the order they said delivery to be 5/19/2020. Really,why not tell me before completing the transaction the delivery would take over a month. On 5/18/2020 no word from IKEA. Multiple phone calls to IKEA 5/18-5/21/2020, “we are unable to take your call”. Email sent to IKEA to cancel order per their website instruction, no response. On 5/21/2020 disputed the charge on credit card. Maybe that will get their attention. AWFUL service. Why can’t a huge, global corporation get it together to deliver goodsin a timely fashion and provide customer service. Never again!!! BEWARE! HAVE YOUR CREDIT CARD COMPANY DISPUTE THE CHARGES!!!

I was trying to buy an item online since the stores in BC are closed. Upon check out i've chosen pick up but couldn't complete the transaction, it just was not working! tried to call provided number but the line was either busy or dropping. Chat option didn't work due to long queue Gave up after trying half an hour. If You hear IKEA complaining about drop in sales tel them to shove it! The company laid of thousands of workers but can not organize online services. Hopefully our Government won't give them helping hand because they have a lousy CEO and such!

Ordering the product on line was simple, payment was taken immediately and a delivery slot provided. The delivery day came and went. Since then nothing not a whisper. No possible form of contact to see if the product will ever be delivered. Incidentally the delivery cost for a £40 window blind was £29.95. Steer clear of IKEA.

Same issue, ordered $400 worth, delivery was scheduled today between 9am and 12pm. Its 4:30, I'm still sitting here so I go online to check the status and it says preparing order ( which is the process before they pick the items and load) but I had already received an email the said they were " picking the order". Hmmm, the status now is back to the beginning? I called customer service- not taking calls but go online if you have to reschedule. I go online and the only option available is to cancel your order. Meanwhile, I don't know when or if my order is coming and they have taken the money and not communicated ANYTHING TO ME - NO UPDATE OF STATUS - NOTHING!!!

I have never experienced something like this before! I wish I had read all of the reviews here beforehand! Then I would have saved myself a lot of trouble! the worst service I have ever experienced! I am really very understanding at the moment, but what was pulled off with me today is outrageous! My order should be delivered today (350 £) + 30 £ delivery costs, the driver called me this morning at 6:44 a.m. and told me he will arrive in the next hour. Shortly after 7 a.m. I recognized the driver in front of our gate, he did not Ring the bell, I opened the gate so that he could drive to the courtyard, I stood on the balcony to tell him he could just put the delivery in front of the door, my husband had taken holiday extra today, to accept the package, the moment when the courier saw that the gate was opened, he drove away. 40 minutes later I got the message that the delivery could not be delivered. seriously! To calls and SMS he did not respond. I then turned to customer service at 9 a.m. and that outraged everything! The first time I was queueing 1 hour, to thrown out of the Chat, when I explained everything. The second time I was in the queue for 2 hours!!!! And was thrown out of the Chat, after the customer Service after I was informed that if I no longer want the order I would have to wait 14 days for my refund or a new delivery could be booked for next week. I was not enthusiastic about it, then it was written to me that the query was resolved and I would be thrown out of the chat again. with the note that everything has been clarified and the new delivery date is booked for me! I had clearly said that I don't want a new appointment and because it was too uncomfortable I was simply kicked out of the chat ?! I printed both Chats and officially complained. I have never had such insolence, who deals with his customers in this way, lost me as a customer from now. I will never buy anything from ikea again. a shame because I think like almost everyone I bought there a lot, but this bevavio, I do not Support!

I wish there is a 0 star option, I ordered items from IKEAUAE on 4th of April and schedued for delivery due on 16th of April then changed to 21st then 28th then 5th of may them 7th of may then 15th of may and yet still not delivered. I called, I emailed, I facebooked, Instagramed and tweeted IKEA but all in vain and they didn't even bother to call back. Why are they still selling online and didn't close till they deliver all pending orders and solve their issues ? I registered a complain at DED Consumer protection and unfortionately IKEA isn't responding even to them. they take your money, no delivery and i wouldnt dare to ask for a refund after reading the 100's of reviews and social media comments about people still waiting for their refund from more than 2 months.

I am so frustrated reading all these reviews, wish I would have read these before I spent almost $300 on an order I have received no information on. I placed an order on 4/27, and was told my “estimated delivery date” was today, 5/19. I waited all day hoping for items that never came. You call and get no one, and I feel I have no choice but to dispute my charge through my credit card. I loved all the items so much and am truly disappointed with this whole experience.

I ordered curtains online and waited over a month to receive them just to realize I received baskets and now can NOT get anyone on the phone, email and ALL stores and customer service are closed! I paid over $200 for curtains that I need for privacy and have no way to get my correct order!! I have loved shopping here but will sincerely NEVER order online again.

I placed an order on 4/3 and the delivery date said a month later... which is ridiculous but with Covid19 i thought ok they are just extending it out to make sure you do not expect it sooner. 5/4 comes and goes and nothing from Ikea... completely ghosted. Mind you... they had no problem charging my card the day after i ordered my items (who does that? don't they legally have to wait til an item ships? I've never heard of a company doing this). i have since completely paid my credit card bill, and the items haven't even shipped? after days of trying to get ahold of them and i finally get thru i am told that its fedex/ups fault??? how is that even possible when i have had countless orders from other retailers come in two days or less and earlier than the expected delivery date? while on the phone with customer service i am told they have 7-14 days to ship my items past the original delivery, and they had no care in the world that i have already paid in full for these items over 6 weeks ago!! I am now past the 14 days.... and STILL NOTHING!!! IKEA has lost a repeat customer! i have never seen a company act so careless.

DO NOT USE FOR KITCHEN SUPPLY/INSTALLATION. I bought a kitchen from IKEA in 2018 and have had nothing but issues. The kitchen team in store were wonderful but IKEA tried to charge us hundreds more for the worktop than quoted (due to them calculating the size of the worktop wrong) and then threatened not to deliver if we did not pay within 24 hours, they didn't deliver the kitchen on the day scheduled and didn't tell us they weren't delivering, meaning me and my partner missed multiple days of work with no explanation or apology. Their worktops are shoddy and have snapped within a year of use. They have their employees outright lie to avoid the blame for any issues. IKEA refuses to take responsibility for any of this. I have called many times and sent multiple emails, often with no reply - IKEA do not care about their customers and I beg you to stay away if you want a quality kitchen and good service.

I ordered 37.00 worth of things. No furniture NOTHING large at all. I ordered this on April 25, 2020. When I got the notification that my order was successful AND of course IKEA has been paid, it states that my order will be here around May 31, 2020. REALLY? What the ........? I have over 200.00 in my shopping list and am reconsidering buying anything else from IKEA.....first and probably last order. You can't reach IKEA by email or phone. What is up with all of this IKEA??? Awful business practices. And don't go blaming COVID19. I have ordered from Ebay, Amazon, Michael's, Hobby Lobby and it seems like nothing is bothering them from shipping orders. If you could just SAY on your site what the heck is taking so long? But no, no mention. I am now looking for the products I have on my shopping list on Ikea's website elsewhere. At least I know I won't grow old waiting on them.

I placed my order on May 1 . I was told delivery would be on May 11 between 9am -1pm. Received a text at 8:30 saying the my order would be there in half an hour. The truck pulled up at 9am. They unloaded my order quickly and efficiently. The delivery men were friendly and keep social distance. Overall, I am very pleased with my Ikea experience.
