"\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 ordered online bed and couch for my elderly mother in Germany. Delivery was supposed to be in a couple of weeks. On the delivery day we remove old furnitura in preparation to fit new one in (one bedroom apartment only). We waited all day but delivery never come. No call and no emails. Two minute before midnight email come stating they had system failure and they rescheduled delivery in 7 days. Next few days we try to call multiple time but could not get through apparently because they are experiencing bigger than average calls. My 78 year mother was sleeping on cold floor for seven day. As per new delivery date Furniture was supposed to arrive today BUT guess what still nothing. Only this time they send SMS to said they have no truck to deliver. Delivery was rescheduled once again in next few days. I lost any hope but don't know what to do. They already took money from my credit card. Can just imagine how long would take to get my money recover. I done some research and find out this is not just in one country but IKEA service is terrible accros the word. They are horrible. Try calling them to see if they answer... They won't and you can't leave a message. They are thieves. Please stay away far from them. Worst service ever. We still waiting for our deliver to come through till mother still sleeping on floor. Shame on your IKEA!”

“Possibly the worst customer service ever received 1. Bed delivered broken. No contact from Ikea. Gift voucher promised- never received. 2. Light delivered without parts. 3. Light re delivered to WRONG ADDRESS even though I told you 3 times it was wrong.”

“Impossible to get through to customer service..I called over a thousand times I am not kidding...(my phone tells me how many times I call a number) and always got the recording that everyone else gets about high volume of calls and then a hang up! Three times I was supposed to receive my furniture, the first 2 we waited all day (they sent a text after the 4 hour window that there was a delay) to finally find out after calling the delivery service that my stuff was not even on the truck! The third time I got some of the furniture and the dresser ONE box of THREE so that didn't work! The next day I sent an email but never received a reply from IKEA and since it was impossible to talk to anyone on the phone I contacted VISA to retract payment from my card. I was happy that I had charged it on my VISA card! They credited the dollar amount back to my VISA card for furniture never received. This was about a month ago and I never heard from IKEA at all. I would NEVER order anything online from IKEA again.”

“I placed an order for a trundle bed July 26, 2018 with delivery date of 1st of Aug. I was called by the delivery company on the day of delivery that the boxes were damaged and couldn't be delivered. I received an email stating that my order had been delivered. After several days of calling the phone # and never being able to get through, I finally spoke to someone who had no record that my item was not delivered. They said they would credit the delivery charge and resent my bed, oh, and give me a $30 gift card. LONG story short, finally on 9/19/18 my entire order has been delivered, after numerous calls. My credit for the delivery still has not been issued. I will NEVER order with IKEA again. Buyer beware.”

“DO NOT BUY ANYTHING AT IKEA! If you ever require customer service you will be on hold for an hour plus. I had to call them on 3 different occasions over a 2 month period and each and every call I was placed on hold for over an hour. When I spoke to a customer service person, I told them of the extremely long wait, they said they were aware of the problem. I just called again and got a voice message said due to the extremely high call volume, I would have to call back later and then got disconnected. Obviously management at IKEA cares only on sales volume and has no concern about customer support”

“Not sure where to begin. We ordered over $7,000 worth of kitchen cabinets and bathroom cabinets. We ordered on the 22nd of February and went through hell trying to get our cabinets. We finally received the last of our order in the end of July. Cabinets are great but I would never order from them again after the horrible customer service. When you call they are so kind and seem to be helpful but it is not as it seems. I spent over 30 hours in total on the phone and wrote several emails with the company. They almost never return emails. When everything was said and done we were told we would get a refund for our delivery fee and a $300 gift certificate to use with Ikea, less than 5% of our purchase price. After waiting for 4 weeks for this gift certificate I still have not seen anything. I would never use Ikea for anything ever again. Our first shipment was damaged by the shipping company and for that I do not blame Ikea, but when they reordered our cabinets it got canceled several times internally for who knows what reason, no one could ever give me a proper explanation... I am so disappointed with Ikea and would warn anyone not to use them. We were supposed to get our cabinets within two weeks, not 5 months. We flip houses on the side and this put us 5 months behind on flipping this house. We have lost a lot of money trying to use Ikea and they don't really seem to care.\”

“I had a delivery that never made it. Try emailing but it soesn't work. Try to call but it always says they are too busy and hang up on me. I truly despise Ikea after trying to deal with their "customer service".”

“Made a purchase in IKEA Wembley in London. The item was not delivered. Wait on customer service line is 60 minutes. After waiting for 60 minutes got a new delivery date and it was not delivered yet again. IKEA case ref number 29751624. The worst customer service ever in my life.”

“Disgusted with the service. Stayed in all day today took a day off work because we were told our delivery would come today. Never arrived. Had to ring customer service. After 45 minutes waiting we finally got to speak to someone. We were told our delivery wasn't despatched and they can deliver to us until 5 days time. Not one person in the whole company could give us a call to tell us this information we had to find out by calling them. If I could rate this 0 stars I would. Never use Ikea delivery.”

“I ordered 3 frameless mirrors online. 1 was damaged upon arrival so I attempted to call their customer service line. I received a message that they were "experiencing higher than normal call volumes and my call could not be completed at this time". So I hung up and sent a request with all of my order information for someone to contact me. After you submit the request it tells you someone will contact you within 48 to 72 hours......its been a week! The contact email that they have on the website came back to me and was undeliverable after I tried to send an email. I've attempted to call 3 additional times and receive the same message. I will NOT be ordering from IKEA again seeing as though I'm now stuck with a damaged mirror I lost money on and I cannot use!”

“I placed an order on-line for two Gamleby chairs on August 29. 2018, with delivery expected September 11, 2018. When the chairs did not show up on the 11th, I called, and no one seems to know what happened to the order. They referred me to a resolution group, transferred my call, and an automatic voice menu hung up on me due to high call volumes. I tried to contact them again today, 9/12, and I could not get through any of the customer service numbers, for the same reason, call volume too high. This is entirely unacceptable and very frustrating to customers. I won't be shopping at Ikea again, you can bet on that.”

“I literally am so frustrated with this company. I ordered my products on July 31st, for them to be scheduled to be delivered on August 6th. I moved cross country over 2400 miles, I was super excited to come to my new home and have my furniture coming a couple days later. I stayed home all day on Aug. 6th waiting for my new furniture to arrive. To my surprise, NOTHING! No phone call, no new tracking information, just plain 'ole nothing! I called and called the next day just to be on hold for 45 minutes for the rep to hang up on me once he said he will transfer me over to the online team. I recently got an email stating my couch would be here on the 4th of September, as you would guess I was super exciting to finally receive my couch for them to ONLY DELIVER ONE BOX! I just don't get it. I know it's so simple and it's just furniture, but I don't get it. All I'm asking for is my furniture to be delivered so I can make my house feel like home.”
