yes, the sane way to buy furniture from Ikea is to visit the showroom to look at everything in-person, and then give them your address for delivery of anything very large.

Except for the part where they charge extra for delivery. If I'm driving there planning to buy large items I might as well make sure to bring a vehicle that can bring my purchases home with me. Usually that means a trailer - and unlike delivery, renting a trailer at IKEA is free where I live (provided you've bought something).

what do you do with the trailer when you get home?

[–] Iceblade02@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Have it at home overnight and then leave it back at IKEA on my way to work the next day.
