Ikea kitchen delivery issues?

3 years ago

Has anyone ordered an Ikea kitchen in the last couple of months? Have been reading horrible reviews about things not being delivered lately and was wondering if I should just chalk it up and go a different route.

IKEA boxes are no longer made in the US. They shut down that plant last year. The local store is out of everything. No one can tell you when it’s due to get better either. They are pretty disorganized.

Months of wait time. The production chain of almost everyone has been disrupted. Those relying on overseas components have been affected the most. Many American made companies are back on track.

Some items we ordered at the beginning of this year were discontinued before we were able to receive them, and we only recently got refunds. Austin seems to be doing a little better than Tempe, based on our experiences. I would suggest checking carefully before placing an order anywhere, if you have a time scrunch. Even the wood flooring we ordered is now taking three to four months.

*Definitely* take it back--you *won't* have to buy a new one, no trick necessary, I can pretty much promise you. NO problem at all. What pattern is it? Did water get on it? Not that Ikea would contest your claim, but I just think they would want to know for their own quality control issues. They've pulled entire lines because of quality control, if enough problems crop up; folks who had those lines on order or halfway through are given full credit to get a new kitchen's worth of doors, no kidding. I've *never* had a problem returning anything, even months later, or whatever the problem is. They want us happy :)

I was told I only had 48 hours after delivery to verify that all was there. I did have one missing part and one damaged box, so I called and they replaced them right away. It turns out they also sent me a brown ventilation shelf instead of white, but I did not notice this until a few weeks ago. I decided to let it go, because the shelf is not going to be showing. I'm not sure if they will refund you now since November is 7 months ago, but it would not hurt to ask.

I've been planning it since the moment we bought the house...okay the truth...I've been planning parts of what I wanted my kitchen to look like before we even bought a house. :) We've had some set backs. But finally it's happening! A little less than 3 years from purchase. Cabinets coming, Bodbyns, range hood already here and hardware ordered. Pretty much set on a sink, undermount, zero radius SS. Struggling with faucet style though. Main counters will be carrara and putting a bit of butcher block for the coffee station counter. The 4' work table from Ikea will be my "island", so we'll be picking that up this weekend in the black. Flooring is at Lowes waiting for pick up. Pergo Engineered hard wood in Cresent Walnut. We will be putting it everywhere but bathrooms and bedrooms. The last few days I've been thinking about paint color. Need to sort out lighting. I'll have my brother add some can's to the ceiling. But other than getting rid of the '79 box...not sure what I want. Backsplash probably 3x6 white subway with either matching grout or very light grey.

Kel Oba, the countertop in the back is Ceasarstone Piatra Grey. The countertop on the Island was a product from a local fabricator that was much cheaper than Caesarstone. It's white with some grey spots. They had slabs that were big enough to cover 11 ft without seams and charged by the sq ft, which saved us about 3k. We actually still don't have a backsplash. I've been trying for the past year to get my contractor to finish the renovation that was interrupted by Covid. Still love my kitchen though. Too bad Ikea is discontinuing the color. I had been planning to get some matching storage cabinets but they are all out of stock.

And agreed with akrogirl, everything is out of whack right now- neighbors are having a harder time finding flooring and lumber for their renovation than their cabinets (which are IKEA but did take a few orders to get everything).

I had a range delivered as scheduled last month.

i ordered my kitchen last week and it‘s set to be delivered on Sept 19th. I had lots of dates to choose from. Things seem to be running normally here other than a few stock issues (Southern Ontario).

Canadian Ikea has been doing alright. I was quoted 6 weeks delivery, and that's what it took for my godmorgon sink. Ordered at the beginning of May.

Now given that delivery of the item usually takes less than a week, times are extremely extended. But the estimate was accurate.

Anyone had any experience with ordering an IKEA kitchen in Florida? I have designs ready but need to do some other remodel work prior to actually giving this the full go ahead.

Are people saying that I now need to plan and order months in advance for IKEA cabinetry just like one needs to do for most kitchen cabinet lines?

Ikea kitchen boxes are made in the US by Sauder woodworking in Ohio. Ikea did close their only plant here in the US in Virginia that produced wooden furniture and storage units. Many of their cabinet doors are made in Europe. Most of the products I use come from Europe also and I've had very little issues with any of my suppliers during this entire time.

Yes, we have ordered a pretty simple kitchen for delivery in Denmark and have to order several times. Some items could not be delivered, unless we tried a week later. Then, other items could not be. Just yesterday, an item came available for delivery, but not click and collect. An hour later, er could choose click and collect. We are receiving a third order today for the same kitchen we first ordered months . Would expect a company like IKEA to have a better grip on logistics and user experience.
