Awful experience - Don't waste your time
Worst customer experience! I purchased a chair as a gift for a colleague 3 weeks ago - received the order confirmation, tax invoice and the funds were taken from my account. I arranged a pick-up from the Rhodes store. I then receive a call saying there was a mistake and the chair is no longer available from the Rhodes store. I check online and Tempe has them in stock so I ask the Customer Service Rep to amend my order to a pick-up from Tempe. He checks stock and confirms there are 6 chairs available. He assures me that because this is a manual ...Read more
request and not an online order, my chair will be picked as a priority. He says he will email through the amended pick-up confirmation and that someone will notify me when I can pick up the chair. Days go by without hearing from anyone via email or phone and the chair is now showing as sold out online so I call Customer Service on Monday morning. I'm told that my chair has in fact been picked but for some reason it has not been marked as "ready for pick-up" (annoying, but at least my chair has been put aside). I'm told that I need to wait until the Tempe store opens at 10am and then the After-sales team can release my order for pick-up. At 1pm I receive a call from the Customer Service Rep saying that although the system is indicating that my chair has been picked, it had not, and the chair was now unavailable. It will be months before they get more stock of this chair. She tells me to choose another chair and I tell her they are now all sold out. She then proceeds to check stock of all the chairs while on the phone with me - all sold out, like I said. I ask if I change the order to delivery, when would be the earliest I receive it? She says stock for delivery comes from a separate distribution centre and the delivery would be in 3 weeks. I ask her to change my order to delivery. The gift for my colleague would be late but at least I could tell her it was definitely coming and at this point I only had 3 days to find an alternative present. I'm told by the Customer Service Rep that only her manager can approve the change to delivery so she transfers me to him. When I speak to him, he tells me my chair has been picked at the Tempe store, awaiting pick-up. I ask him if he's certain, as I Iiterally just had the same conversation with his colleague and it was a mistake. He puts me on hold again (at this point I've been on the phone for 1.5hrs) only to come back and repeat the same story his colleague gave me. What a complete waste of 30 mins! Do they not communicate with each other when transferring calls?? I tell him the whole point of me being transferred to him was to approve the change from pick-up to delivery. He puts me on hold again while he checks. He comes back to say their IT Department needs to fix the system as although the website indicates a date for delivery, they don't know when, if ever, the chairs will be stocked again. He says what he can do though, is arrange for a refund. Wow, thanks Captain Obvious! At this point, all up I've spent around 4 hours on the phone and have been told 4 times that I had the chair. I understand that companies are under increased pressure due to high demand so could forgive this happening once or twice even. But four times, and twice within the same call! I'm told that I will receive a $50 voucher by email, a call from his manager the next day and a refund of my funds into my bank account within 3-5 days. That was two weeks ago. No call back, no voucher and I only just received an email overnight saying my refund is now being processed and can take up to 5 days to clear. Ikea is so quick to take your money for goods they don't have and take weeks to refund it. Appalling.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

No Sense of Responsibility or Customer Respect
I purchased a Queen size mattress, which turned out to be about as comfortable as a granite slab. Read on the website about the mattress exchange policy available, so I contacted via email to organise this on 2/4. I have since been attempting to converse and organise this with their customer support to no avail; not only have I spoken to a different person in each and every email, but its now 16/4 and I still have not gotten any closer to resolving this. Eventually gave up and called their support number.
I've been advised that if I want to exc...Read more

Too frustrating to complete order
Have tried multiple times to order. Can't get past the Ikea Family number. Rang customer service and they suggested I wait a couple of hours and try again
Waited 10 hours, tried again, same problem! Extremely disappointed and frustrated that the ordering system should be easier and straightforward. Have ordered previously, which was fast and delivery was prompt. Unfortunately will not try again.
The Ikea on line ordering system is too problematic now. Have no idea what has changed, but change it back PLEASE !

Avoid at all costs
Absolutely terrible. Website does not work and also strings you along for weeks and weeks indicating product availability that doesn't exist. Staff also keep this perpetually going by providing wrong information then blaming website errors on coronavirus. Buy elsewhere don't waste your time.

Good Customer Service Experience
I order online shelves and requested home delivery on the wrong date. It was easy to get through to a real person and change the date, I felt like a bit of an idiot but the girl I spoke to was nice about it. I got a delivery window on the morning of the delivery and the order turned up on time.
I'm not a huge fan of the IKEA aesthetic but I'd go back there for online purchases based on this experience. The shelves were as advertised and easy to put together by my self.

Click and collect - don’t do it
Very bad click and collect service. Did this twice, first time booked the time in, but waited 50 mins. Guys where very disorganized. Second time received a text confirming order ready to pick up that day. Called in to check it was and they said yes, so went in. I’m still waiting in my car now after 45 mins. Called from the car from car bay twice now- still no sign. Seriously. I don’t understand what’s so hard?? Not worth the hassle dealing with them.

Missing a box from order for a Month
Ordered several different big furniture items. Delivery guys ask to sign without giving time to check the order and then took off. I realized too late that the sofa was supposed to be in 3 separate boxes and they only delivered 2. Despite several e-mails exchanged with customer support I'm still missing that box after a month. They say the item was out of stock and they would contact me when back in stock, all excuses because checking online gives the item in stock and I still haven't heard from them.
If it wasn't for the customer support, stock problems and delivery process this would be a 5 star reviews, because the furniture is good value for money and not too hard to put together.

Great draws but one issue
Draws are great quality and instructions are very clear and simple. But one issue. Would it kill you to leave a few extra screws/bits & pieces in all of the packs? They cost you nothing and screws are so easy to lose. 4 screws were missing to put the lid on. 11 didnt come in the pack like it said.

Disappointed customerSydney, NSW
Was not a great experience due to the rude staff.
I came in to get a flat pack chest of drawers and expected a smoother experience, Wednesday April 8 around 1400. I understand with everything going on it’s a mess, but I asked a staff member where the trolleys were and he rudely pointed at a sign that said trolleys that I’d obviously missed - silly mistake, whatever, I don’t come here often. I go there and there’s no trolleys. So I ended up having to deadlift and carry this heavy af flat pack to the checkout myself, alone, I’m 162cm tall and it’s almost bigger than me but I absolutely refuse to...Read more
ask him again because he was so rude. Then I walked past at least 5 other staff members stuffing around with each other before someone was like hey do you need help. It’s a trying time for everyone not just you (hope the dude reads this one day) and there’s no excuse to be so rude and unhelpful.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Very poor online delivery service for parcels
I placed two orders which were marked one for parcel delivery for two weeks, and the other for 4 weeks. I am still waiting on the first delivery which has run past two weeks, and there is no sight of delivery. Disappointing service, and I would try to avoid IKEA online!

Faulty IKEA kitchen cabinets
Bought a house 5 years ago that had a new IKEA kitchen just installed by previous owner. Some cabinet doors have spilt & cracked due to steam issue from the IKEA dishwasher.
Called IKEA for assistance with this issue. I haven’t had this happen with other kitchens. Previous owner didn’t leave the kitchen receipt unfortunately, so as a result IKEA would not visit to investigate. I was told the 25 year guarantee was no longer valid, due to me not having this receipt.
Was also told to buy new cabinet fronts.
Cabinet doors should not split like t...Read more

Very unhappy with my purchase.
Unfortunately, I purchased a the LINNMON / ADILS desk for university study. Whilst the desk was relatively easy to assemble, I am very unhappy with this product. The slightest movements make the desk shake and is quite distracting. I have tried many times adjusting the height of the legs to fix this issue but it continuous. I would not recommend this product.

Rude worker
Went into the Richmond IKEA and asked a worker for help, worker straight out said no and go online. I understand the social distancing at the moment, but she could have answered some questions from 5 metres away especially since I saw other workers helping customers from a distance. I didn’t see the issue or threat to her health by asking her to help me answer some questions from a distance. Poor customer service.Shame since I couldn’t purchase what I needed as I needed help

Poor quality and worse customer service
Purchased a METOD laundry and Saljan benchtop.
After multiple failures by IKEA to deliver the correct items, discovered defective benchtop with laminate bubbling and warping. IKEA customer service immediately dismissed the case stating warping is a result of cutting, the benchtops are designed to cut and fit and install, warping should not occur. My 15 year old existing benchtop looks better than the brand new IKEA benchtop.

No customer service
Visited store with intention to purchase kitchen as needed in a hurry. Corona virus precautions in place so i had phoned day earlier to check staff availability. However I was berated by 2 staff for not making appointment then told not to bother as staff contact face to face was about to be cancelled. Told to plan my kitchen myself at home. I fully support precautions but I did not appreciate the way I was treated, the condescending manner or the sarcastic comments. I left and purchased elsewhere. Don't usually shop ikea and have zero plans to return.

Poor customer service
Beware of their poor customer service and delivery info. We ordered our items online, and the delivery date was stated to be within a week from our order. BUT when we got the confirmation email, the delivery date was stated as 1 month later! We called customer service and [name removed] was very apathetic about our situation and wasn't helpful at all. She even made a sarcastic comment during our conversation and made the whole experience very upsetting and unpleasant for us. We are extremely disappointed with IKEA and their customer service. We canceled our order, and we will never shop at IKEA online again.

Good selection
Have to drive to there. The quality are mostly fine. I prefer easier assemble steps. Delivery fee is too high. I wish IKEA can have more real plant decoration collection

Does Ikea deliver to Launceston. When selecting pick up location, Launceston is visible but what was ordered stated that delivery was not available. No reason provided as to why this was unavailable ? The item is a lounge sofa. C.S. stated the system works but appears not too.
