Hi all,
I am in the North West and wanted to get a delivery of furniture from IKEA but haven't been able to get a single thing deliverable, whether a small item or a large piece of furniture. Have others also experienced not being able to get anything from this retailer too? Here's hoping that it gets better from 1st of June. If anyone has any insider information about deliveries from them please divulge.
Cheers

sorted byCollecting from store isn't an option - afaik, Scottish stores aren't open along with other non-essential retailers. So a quick nip down to England would be a breach of the rules. We're not all political advisors.
You have a date for them opening though.
The rest of the home nations seem to be taking a more sensible, cautious approach. (edited)
I just had a go when I posted to you. Some items say no available for delivery. Everything that was available to be delivered after I put my postcode in said it would be delivered by truck on varying dates in Junedependant on items.
I found 9am on a Tuesday was when my delivery slots where available.
Interestingly my sister in the next village was able to get delivery everyday and also next day express delivery. So she was holding some items for me, now I can visit her garden winner winner items collected.
Worth noting they aren't doing 2 man delivery, so anything over length/weight restrictions for a single man in a van won't be delivered.
I couldn't even get the option to collect!
That's fascinating, I'm on the Fylde Coast, an hour's drive from Manchester, hardly the sticks, yet nothing is available for me. I truly hope things will vastly improve from next week.
I'm only 20 miles from Glasgow...but up the edge of Loch Lomond so semi remote, but still within civilization!
I've got either Manchester's or Warrington's shops close to me within an hours drive, and yet I have absolutely zero options. So pissed off with them, but don't have any other alternatives.
they are not open in England either until Monday
Did you try ordering today?
i don’t think you will be too far behind. It’s driven by your R number and according to what Cranky laid out Scotland’s R number Has been hovering around 1 for over a month. To move to your next phase it needs to be less than 1 for 3 weeks.
Thank you for this. I will re-try ordering perhaps things improve now.

Looks like it may be an absolute shambles for a while.
What annoys me is that they have the monopoly. If they had a direct competitor selling the same type of things as them, they'd have pulled their socks up sharpish
