Needles & Grooves

I'm bleedin, folks.

Apparently it can depend on how far away you are. Last time I checked it was $199 for me. I live 3 hours away from one and I end up making the trip instead when we can think of a few things we need at once. My wife was able to talk me into a bunk bed for the kids and 2 mattresses because I really needed that 1x4 Kallax

How far away do you live? That seems like a lot of money. Most stores will also deliver from the store itself if you pick something out and set it up for delivery. That starts at $29 and goes up based on mileage and how big of a vehicle is required. I work at IKEA.

I had never been to an IKEA until my wife and I started dating in 2005 but she loved it and all of her furniture was from there

I'm in Louisville and the closest is Cincinnati. This was shipping straight from IKEA's website, so I'm sot sure if it'll be different straight from the store.

In that case it probably comes from some kind of local distribution center

I finally got an in stock 5x5 kallax about 2 months ago and it was $99 shipping for me. Hurt like hell.

Welcome to adulthood…

I am lucky to be an hour from our closest IKEA. The veggie dogs are awesome!

A few years ago, there was a service in NOLA that you'd give your order to, and they'd send people to the Houston IKEA every week to buy people's stuff and deliver it to them, and it wasn't too expensive...might be worth seeing if there's anything like that in your area. But also this was before IKEA offered shipping from their website, so they might have put an end to those side hustles.

If you use Amazon I just picked up two of these about a month ago…
