IKEA woes

[easyrider]

Ordered a Fredde desk from ikea and one of the side panels for the PC tray is missing...

I'm hoping they post one out...


Any experiences with them ?

I did a 127 mile round trip ....so popping in store ain't an option.

This happens often, I always check stuff in the car park before leaving

It was two massive boxes...no way I could have checked..

I think I'll just ask for another to be delivered... And put this one in my studio and fabricate a piece of wood.

 

[easyrider]

Honestly IKEA delivery charge puts me off!

Hence I drove to Leeds to pick it up.

At 10 am tomo ikea customer services get checked.

My head

I've looked again this morning and it's defo missing ... Ringing them at 10am

Sorry, but it is a really nice, functional desk. I got one a month ago and it's ace.

Yeah if it comes complete... I'm devastated

"So Easyrider, good weekend mate?"

"Yes, mental! Got drunk and built Ikea flatpack stuff! Rock on!"

Brilliant

It's 10.05, did you ring yet?

Yep that's me living the dream. On the phone to them now listening to abba in a queue

Up to now they seem to have sorted it... Delivering panel this Tuesday went through pdf assembly instructions with her page 11 step 12 small left side panel.

Fingers crossed they deliver the correct part

I need iron bru

 

[easyrider]

Hope so...

Last year I bought a shelf unit thingie (the big one) and one of the end panels was slightly damaged. I phoned up to ask for a replacement and they sent a whole new unit. Two for the price of one, even if the end panel is a bit dented and scratched isn't too bad. IKEA aftersales, in my opinion, is awesome.

I'll be testing their Customer service this tuesday finger crossed.

 

[easyrider]

Ikea are on Route...45 mins away and that was 1hour 30 mins ago....

They better turn up with the correct panel.

drama queen!
Thread should be renamed - Ikea minor inconvenience

Minor inconvenience.

I drove 127 miles paid 150 quid for a desk I can't use and now I'm waiting in for a panel 8" x 6" while I should be out doing stuff.

 

[easyrider]

Ok Drama over



Now I just need 2 X 27" monitors

Well I have to say that I can't really complain at their customer service.They have done everything that they promised.However I am going to write to them commending them on their after sales service and will be requesting a refund of my petrol cost's for the inconvenience.

 

[easyrider]

127mile round trip for that

You wait until its got all my gear on it...

 

[easyrider]

Nice that it comes with beer holders.....................

Yep it's great...

 

[easyrider]

Lol, with all the IKEA stuff we have, i have never had a missing piece.

IKEA stuff is handy when you have young kids, when their older i will upgrade to real oak and such

Doesn't interest me real wood...as long as it's functional and looks ok then I'm happy..

However solid wood is a must when it comes to my acoustic guitars...:

 

[easyrider]

Love this desk...Loads of room, Beer holders...Hangers for headphones...Shelves... no wires.

 

[easyrider]

Careful it doesn't fall on you.

 

[easyrider]

No idea
