Ikea ARRRRGGHHH!
« on: 02 January 2021, 20:46:55 »
For a fair few weeks I've been trying to order a BESTÅ cabinet from Ikea.  Out Of Stock.

Now, this is a modular thing, so I've broken the individual components down, and entered them individually.  Go to Check Out, and despite each and every component being In Stock, I get the Out Of Stock error.

At least I know which part is causing the problem, a small drawer-front which is showing as 'low-stock'.

This is a standard size drawer-front, which many of their cabinets use, so I'm pretty confident it'll either be there when I go to collect the rest of the stuff, or at the very least, will be in-stock at some-point in the near future.

Whatdyareckon?  ::)

Any interesting stories of Ikea?

Can't comment, I'm banned.

The stuff is shite anyway, significantly worse than what MFI used to sell.  So I'm not upset over this ban.

He probably tested everything to destruction and told them it was all crap and the customer service is sh**   :D
or asked to have something delivered to "Brackley" and they Googled him   :o

I went once 20 years ago and still break out in a cold sweat at the thought of it.
Swmbo had won a £1000 voucher and the Daughter was also with us to buy furniture for her first flat. we were there when they opened and were last ones out of the car park.
I ended up with four of those big long trolley things full of flatpacks to manoeuvre around the shop, and then load it all onto the back of a Transit pickup truck, drive 45 miles home, and unload it all at the other end.
I would rather chew my own feet off than spend another minute walking around Ikea. >:(

Correct.  And some dumb assed bint in an Ikea outfit was most pissed off with me.
