Warrior88 0 Report post Posted October 22, 2010 Yes need to pay, last time long ...long time ... yes dun need. I like their assembly cost, small% of the purchase price. I order them and delivery at 1 time + assembly. I even pay for the screw mounting of book rack to the wall. Such a breeze Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cannonsiao 0 Report post Posted October 30, 2010 It's worth it to get their delivery if u r buying bulky items. I even pay them to assemble the items. If I assemble myself would take hours.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cannonsiao, are you able to share how much are the assembly charges? based on per item? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plastic3 0 Report post Posted October 31, 2010 Yeah, few years ago as long as exceed a certain amount theres free delivery, just go to the enquiry counter and order the stuff.... But now its self-service, even for bulky items the consumer needs to carry it to the cashier to checkout and then carry to the delivery counter, feels like they have "outsourced" the delivery or separated the operations Based on percentage: http://www.ikea.com.sg/en/service/store-se...ry-assembly.asp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edenstrauss 3 Report post Posted October 31, 2010 Has anybody here on RT had any feedbacks about their kitchen cabinets? I was told that delivery fees apply for kitchen cabinets... And they charge fees for installation of kitchen cabinets too. cannot believe it Becox I didn't thin that I could build up my own cabinet & get it installed... oh gosh.

IKEAs' seem cheap at first glance only. I counted before based on my kitchen cabinets of bottom -> 2.9m. i assumed that i would be carrying and installing myself, but IKEA's - after throwing in drawers and slides are not much different from the pricing of a direct carpenter.

edenstrauss 3 Report post Posted November 3, 2010 Hi gimz63251073, Thanks for sharing & advising. We're not making any alteration works e.g. relocation of power points or gas point. At least when there are any water leakages, it could be detected straight away if it's not covered by cabinets. But of course, the kitchen wouldn't look stylish & nice. We'll retain the cemented kitchen stove tiled by HDB 15 years ago as that's the most durable. Would just be installing the cabinets on our own wherever it fits.
