“Ordered click and collect, said it was going to be ready between 10-12 and stressed in the email that I be there on time to pick up my items. Arrive on time, waited until 12 and then called, waited on the phone for 40 minutes to speak to someone and finally got through. The lady told me the order was ready and I would receive the email with the code in a few minutes. I waited for the code and still didn’t receive it. Why make promises to customers if you aren’t going to fulfill them. This place is a joke. Would have been faster to go into the store myself and pick the items off the shelf. Absolutely ridiculous.”

“Ordered a wardrobe, half of it arrived and half missing. Waited an hour and 45 minutes to speak to someone, they arranged for it to come 4 days later. The day came, of course the delivery did not arrive. Another hour and a half wait on the phone later, they re-arranged it yet again to a few days later. Of course, the next delivery day comes and the wardrobe does not arrive. I called again, again they rearranged and again the wardrobe did not arrive. I now have half a wardrobe, they've taken my money and I have absolutely no idea when the rest will arrive, and I've already wasted hours of my life on hold waiting to get through to someone.”

“Don't buy anything you might return! It's been more than two months since I was given a receipt for my refund and still there is no credit on my credit card. The email option for contact is "not available" at this time and phone hold times are apparently in the one hour range (I'm waiting now for over 20 minutes). I won't be visiting their stores anytime soon!”

“I am very concerned about Covid 19 and the amount of touching of products by customers. The way the store is set up...with sample kitchens and bedrooms etc....I witnessed a lot of this and I am very worried about how covid can be spread. I did not see any employee actively sanitizing spaces other than the washroom....very worried”

“Waited over a week to pick up click & collect to get a text to say its ready but an hour later another text to say its been picked up..but not by me. Impossible to talk to anyone either by phone, internet or email. During the week did get through twice to enquire about my order but both times waited an hour and then was cut off! Horrible service and charged extra for this rubbish click & collect service. If I didn't need more shelves to add to existing ones then would go somewhere else!!!”

“I have never been so frustrated with a company for their lack of service. I ordered a bed 2 months ago and paid for shipping. After charging my card, Ikea canceled the order because the item was in short supply from the delivering store. I called multiple times a day for a week to even get through to an agent, and none have been successful in refunding my payment or fulfilling my order. They all say they are unable to assist me but will elevate my call. Each time they put me on hold to do this, I get a message that they don't have the capacity to take my call and hang up. I'm now out hundreds of dollars and can't even get a call through. I used to love Ikea but this is completely unacceptable.”

“Click and collect is a lie. Should be click and Wait 3 hours. When I received a text saying my order was ready I assumed it was ready. Very wrong, joined a large crowd of frustrated customers and clueless Ikea staff. Had to phone say I was at the store and wait for Ikea to process my order. 3 hours...”

“Horrible Service! Been waiting months for a wardrobe delivery and still nothing, I have called them and gone to the store and still nothing. No one is helpful enough to see anything through. Bunch of lazies that just not care enough. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM! They charge a ridiculous amount of money and don’t do anything properly. No wonder the first hour of being on the phone waiting consists of messages telling not to be rude to their staff! They are useless its a wonder anyone can remain on the phone and not call them a bunch of numpties!”

“The item I bought was dispatched without any confirmation on IKEA's end. I kept checking my email and the IKEA website for updates but it kept showing that my order is being processed days after the estimated delivery date. I had to call them and wait to speak to a representative for an hour. Turns out my order was delivered to a neighbour and they didn't even bother to leave a note. After I finally got my item I had the pleasure to go through the most incompetent assembly instructions I've seen in my life. It seems like IKEA is doing everything to make it as hard as possible for their customers.”

“I ordered something online a month ago. It was scheduled for delivery two weeks ago. I can’t get any tracking information and calling IKEA is a joke. You can’t get through and then the call is disconnected. I’m not purchasing from Ikea again. Worst customer service!”

“Ordering and placing order online DO NOT order anything online in BC because the whole system online is extremely flawed and does not work! I decided to order a couple of cabinets online because I am not near the Vancouver store , so went online and tried 5 times to complete order and the site just kept bouncing me back to the order without ever being able to give credit card .Then I spent 30 min on phone trying to get some help .And tho the employee on the phone tried I did tell her to pass on the information to management ( or lack of perhaps ) . She sent me an email with a link I was suppose to use toggle credit card info, but it did not work either.Finally she had to take down all the information at her end , all the item code numbers and had to create order again, then I had to give credit card info over phone and then it appeared to go through. She admitted that the online system had issues and again I told her that the upper management need to fix this - the will lose business , but maybe thats what the need”

“Non existent customer service. Ikea delivered the wrong coloured bed. Have spent hours trying to contact them to no avail. Avoid online ordering at all costs. Appalling company.”

“An appalling company when it comes to providing after sales service. Via phone, good luck, 1 hour of waiting and you wont get through. Chat? They tell you to go in store. In store? Rude, can't be bothered, lies, absolutely awful levels of skill. It's not even a hard job, but the manager debbie, of their warrington store called me 'mr whatever your name is' because she couldn't be bothered reading my name off the screen 1 ft to her right, so it explains a lot when you wonder how someone struggles to put the right things in a box, a game 2 year olds have been playing for years. They don't care, and are actually quite threatening, when you ask them to provide their obvious lies in writing, and add their name to it so there's some accountability their attitude changes and they will reject it and ask you to leave. Lacking in skill is something I can live with, we all have a lazy day, but lying and being rude, rejecting any form of guilt, even to the point they said 'it could be anyone's fault' when i asked them if they actually though i would have driven to their warehouse and put the wrong item in a box being delivered to me. They are trained to lie, trained to deny responsibility and couldn't' care less about the customer.”

“Impossible to get hold of. I've been trying to purchase a chair for months, checking daily. You cannot get through to them on the phone after many, many attempts. Despite their note saying calling opening hours returning to usual hours and no note to say phone service isn't available whenever you try to call they say it's closed "due to high volumes" it doesn't matter when you call in working day business hours etc. On social media they do not reply. The website chat doesn't work. And the website doesn't work. It says available for delivery in various models but whenever you try to checkout with it it states error on various postcodes, right near their stores. I have tried various devices and web browsers. Absolutely disgusting service and I haven't even purchased it yet. What does this say for after sale support?”

“I’ve wasted more than 8 hours of my life on hold to IKEA and am still no closer to getting my furniture. Deliveries don’t turn up, it’s impossible to speak to someone and when you do, no one has a clue what’s going on. I’ve just called again and after 40 minutes on hold I’m told all their systems are down and they can’t access any customer information. I’ve given up.”

“Well I have to agree with many of the other reviews I now see here. IKEA takes the prize for the worst customer service experience I have every had. First, I live over one hundred miles from the nearest store in Atlanta. I ordered a replacement cushion for a Poang chair online. The stitching was incorrect (made in China) so per instructions, for $30 I shipped it the the nearest store (Atlanta). I got a form letter back with a store credit receipt, not a credit to my card as requested. After over 2 hours of trying to reach CS, I finally got to their "resolutions dept." They told me I would need to call the store to get that changed. When I did so, I found you have to have a four digit code of the person you wish to speak with to get a human. Of course I did not have one. You may ask, what about contacting CS via email. That is another bad joke. So at this point, I am down the $86 for the cushion, $30 for shipping, and over two hours of my time and frustraction and still no cushion. I dared not ask for an exchange cushion as it was likely to be sewn in the same factory the same way. So, IKEA has gotten my last dollar. If this review discourages a few dozen readers from buying from IKEA then I will have gotten "my pound of flesh". BEWARE. SHOP ELSEWHERE.”
