Don’t Respect IKEA if IKEA Doesn’t Respect You!!!!

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the recent handling of our scheduled assembly appointment. Initially, we arranged for the assembly team to arrive between 9:00 and 11:00 AM and organized our day around this commitment. However, when the team did not arrive, we reached out, only to be informed—without any prior notification or request for approval—that the appointment had been rescheduled to 2:00 PM.

This last-minute change is, in itself, an inconvenience and demonstrates a lack of respect for our time. However, even more troubling was the unprofessional and inappropriate tone used in your representative's communication, where we were informed that if we did not agree to this new time, the appointment would be canceled. This language is both coercive and dismissive, suggesting that our only option was to accept the sudden change or forfeit the service altogether, even though we were not at fault.

We find it unacceptable that we, as customers, are threatened with cancellation due to changes made solely by the service team. This experience has significantly impacted our trust in IKEA's commitment to customer satisfaction, and we urge you to address this behavior with the utmost seriousness. We request that this matter be investigated and that appropriate measures be taken with the involved representative to prevent future occurrences.

Furthermore, I feel it is important to share my recent experience with IKEA customer service, as I had hoped for a responsible approach to the issue we faced. On October 30, 2024, at approximately 11:30 AM, I spoke with a representative to explain the situation, expecting that a company of IKEA’s stature would take customer satisfaction seriously. However, despite my detailed explanation, the representative repeatedly directed me to contact TaskRabbit, a third-party provider, for resolution.

I informed the representative that I would email TaskRabbit, but emphasized that IKEA also needed to address the matter internally. I sought guidance on where to officially submit my concerns regarding IKEA's role in this disappointing experience. Unfortunately, the representative abruptly hung up on me, despite my waiting patiently on hold for nearly 30 minutes prior to our conversation.

Such treatment is unacceptable, and I am compelled to share my experience so that other customers may avoid similar issues with IKEA. I hope that IKEA takes note and prioritizes treating customers with the respect...

I placed an order and the website was very misleading and despite me changing my delivery date it had not changed the truck delivery date unfortunately only the van delivery.

I called and spoke with someone called Grace who was so incredibly rude and unhelpful that I ended up crying. She tutted at me on the phone several times and you could tell she did not want to deal with my query or help me. She told me if I wished to speak to another advisor then I would have to disconnect and ring me back as it’s company policy to not transfer.

I called back and reached two other ladies who were amazing and super helpful, compromises made and I quickly travelled up to Cardiff to pick up my items. The last lady advised cushions and delivery refunded and rest of funds transferred across and all I had to do was go help myself from the warehouse and then speak to customer service.

At Cardiff it turns out I couldn’t do that and was taken to the customer service desk where I met some of the most amazing and helpful employees I have ever come across. Carter and Nathan went above and beyond to help me a rectify the situation in every way possible. They made me feel so welcome and made sure I left the store feeling happy, even remaining after closing time to make sure the entire problem was sorted. It turned out that the online customer service hadn’t fixed or done what was agreed so Carter and Nathan went out of their way to reassure me that they would fix it.

I left happy knowing that my entire situation was fixed. Nathan was understanding that the boxes wouldn’t fit in my car (I have a huge car so I thought they would) and he arranged urgent delivery for me for Friday as I am disabled and desperately needed the sofa so I could sit down.

Carter and Nathan’s sense humour, compassion and kindness really made a difference to me. You could tell they really genuinely wanted to help me. IKEA should be so incredibly proud to be able to call them their employees. I have never experienced such amazing customer service and as a disabled person this could have ended up very differently for me.

So thank you Carter and Nathan. You should be so proud of yourselves for the difference you made to...
