How do you sort out home delivery from an IKEA store?  Do you still have to 
go hunting around the store for all the bits you need and take it to a 
central point, or can you just give a list of stuff to a store assistant, 
they will then get it, load it in a van and then deliver it for you?

I've just found these two websites which cover IKEA Thurrock and IKEA 
Bristol, which says they will collect the order for you, stick in a van, and 
then deliver it home (and one of them actually will put it together for you, 
for a price).  Shame I couldn't find an equivalent place for IKEA Leeds!

What happens if there is a fault with the item? Presumably under this 
scheme, the customer pays the company who is collecting and 
delivering the goods? - which means that the customer's contract is 
with that company, and the company is thus liable for any problems 
under SOGA.

I've just bought a kitchen from Ikea in Leeds. The main items you have to
order and pay for in the store and then they give you a ticket to collect
your order from the warehouse. They don't let you get these for yourself,
unlike smaller items like door knobs. They will also deliver but unless you
are supremely confident that you know what you need I'd turn up in person
talk it through and check through your order.

I think Ikea kitchens are OK and good value but it's taken me 3 trips so far
to get all the bits I need and I'm not finished.

Be aware that internal shelves, legs, knobs, and doubtless several other
bits I've not yet thought about have to be ordered separately. Some
assistants are helpful enough to mention this. Also you will probably get
ideas for other ways of doing the job if you go in to the shop.

We'd spent ages designing the layout on their free software, but even then
we changed the wall cupboards after seeing their display.
