IKEA Shipping and Delivery Terms & Conditions

Small order shipping pricing starts at $5 and varies based on proximity to store, order weight, order size, and product availability.

IKEA uses third party vendors (“Parcel Carriers”) to perform small order deliveries.  By selecting the small order shipping option at check-out, you agree to have your purchase and delivery information, including your address and contact information, transmitted to the Parcel Carriers. 

1.1 When will I receive my Small Order?

You will receive an estimated delivery date in your shopping cart prior to check-out. Please note that this is not a guaranteed delivery date for your order. When placing your order, order processing and transit time are used to calculate the estimated delivery date.  Some areas may take longer due to the frequency of deliveries to the delivery zip code or other circumstances beyond our control.

1.2 How can I track my order?

You can track your order by clicking on the link in your order confirmation email or by going to this link: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/customer-service/track-manage-order/ and typing in your order information.

You may also sign up with the assigned Parcel Carrier to receive tracking updates; please see your order confirmation email for that option.

1.3 What am I responsible for upon delivery of my Small Order?

Please examine your order upon delivery to ensure that there are no visible signs of damaged, missing or incorrect pieces. If there are missing, damaged or incorrect items, please contact us at  1-888-888-4532 within 48 hours of your delivery. For any other problem with your order, please refer to our Return Policy. 

We are happy to deliver to your home or business. As of September 12, 2022, Large item truck delivery categories include the following types: Standard Delivery, Scheduled Doorstep Delivery, Scheduled In-Home Delivery and Express In-Home Delivery. Delivery pricing covers the processing, handling, packing, and delivery of your order.

IKEA uses independent service providers (“Delivery Company”) to perform home deliveries. By selecting the Large Item Delivery option at check-out, you agree to have your purchase and delivery information, including your address and contact information, transmitted to the Delivery Company. 

2.1 Large Order Delivery Options

At this time, IKEA offers four options for large order truck deliveries: Standard Delivery, Scheduled Doorstep Delivery, Scheduled In-Home Delivery and Express In-Home Delivery. You will choose the option you prefer during checkout.

Standard Delivery: Our most affordable option for large items delivered to your doorstep. Customers placing orders with Standard Delivery will receive a separate notification when your delivery date is selected by the independent delivery provider.

Scheduled In Home Delivery and Express In-Home Delivery: Our Delivery Company will deliver your purchase to one room of choice (“Room”) inside your home if you choose this option at checkout.  Prior to your delivery, consider whether there is a safe path and space for the delivery in your room of choice as well as your hallways, staircases and elevators, if applicable.  Our Delivery Company may refuse to deliver to the room of your choice if the product you ordered does not fit or if they cannot safely deliver the product to that Room. If delivery cannot be made to this Room, the Delivery Company will place your products in an alternate room at the same address, or on your covered porch, garage or doorstep.

Standard Delivery, Scheduled Doorstep Delivery and Express Doorstep Delivery: If you live in an apartment or condo with a front desk, your items will be dropped off there otherwise we will leave it outside the front door of the building.

Except in select zip codes where customers may opt-in ahead of time and will not need to be home, you or a representative (18 years of age or older) must be present to receive the merchandise at the agreed upon day and time window, even if the product will be delivered to your doorstep. If no one is available to receive the delivery, a re-delivery fee may be applied to your order.

Please examine your items upon delivery to ensure that there are no visible signs of damaged, missing or incorrect pieces. Please note at delivery if there are any visible packaging defects, damaged items, or missing merchandise.

Except in select locations where customers may opt-in ahead of time and are not required to be home, if you are not present during the scheduled delivery time, you may be subject to a re-delivery fee. There may be other circumstances that require additional payment by you if the conditions mentioned above have not been met or you require special services outside of our Large Item Delivery process.
