IKEA Family is a membership program, like grocery store memberships. The only real feature of the program was their 5% discount. But now, they are getting rid of it to focus on “New Lower Price offers”. I’m not holding my breath that their prices are going to come down anytime soon.
IKEA Family is worthless now. They do offer “select delivery options” with no explanation on what this means.
I bought a chair with a 10 year warranty just before covid. A part fell off. They refused to repair/replace, only refund. Went to repurchase the chair, was $50 more. No wonder they wouldn’t repair/replace. Ugh.
I used to work with this guy who moved from India. One day we were hanging out together after work and he told me that he’s importing some furniture from India. I asked about the cost shipping etc and he offered me if I want to buy any furniture from India and he’ll get everything in on shipping container and get it moved to Sydney. I bought 2 bed, 1 dining table, and few other stuff, I remember I paid around $1500 and those were the best purchases I ever made. Its now been more than 7 years and still running strong.
