Hi all, I am planning to get some IKEA furnitures for my new resale flat. Hope to gather more info here, eg delivery is base on per trip or items? any additional cost if not on lift-landing level? which are the products you have purchased before as well as the feedback on the good & bad of the product. Frankly speaking, I have not bought anything from IKEA before, do we jot down the product name or is there a reference code for all items which require delivery on paper to be hand over to the staff there for them to process the purchase? If I am getting some bulky items together with a few small items, can they deliver the small items with the bulky items together? or do we have to hand carry back all small items?

Question to ask : Are you good in reading instructions and assembling furnitures? I actually damaged some of the bily bookshelves when I tried to assembled it myself

My ikea items : two billy bookcase, small cabinate, pinewood dining table, , stools

Only one item remain : pinewood table.

Alternatively you may want to visit Vhive, they will deliver and assemble for you when you have a minimum purchase. Personal opinion : The quality of their furniture quite good. I have bought book shelves, study tables, etc.
