How to Shop IKEA Online
IKEA online is straightforward, but delivery, assembly, and returns work differently from a small parcel retailer. A bit of planning saves a lot of pain.
IKEA Family
IKEA Family is free and gives lower prices on select items, extended product warranties, and free coffee in IKEA restaurants. Sign up online and scan the digital card at checkout.
Delivery options
IKEA usually offers small-parcel, large-parcel (curbside or doorstep), and white-glove delivery + assembly. White-glove is the best option for large pieces if you do not want to assemble — but check the price; it can rival the cost of the furniture.
Planning tools
For kitchens, wardrobes, and PAX systems, use IKEA's online planning tools or book a remote planning service. Saving a plan to your account turns it into a precise shopping list at checkout.
Returns
IKEA offers a 365-day return policy on unused items in many regions, plus 180-day returns on used items. Bring the item and proof of purchase to any store, or arrange a paid collection.
Frequently asked questions
Can I assemble IKEA furniture myself?
Most pieces are designed for self-assembly with the included instructions and an Allen key. Larger items (e.g. PAX wardrobes) benefit from two people.
Does IKEA deliver internationally?
IKEA's online store typically only ships within the country you are buying from. Some products are available cross-border in the EU.
