But just go to IKEA on a Saturday and tell me anyone shopping there understands common courtesy. (Or do, but put them in the daycare) - Do not stop to check your list in the middle of an aisle (step to the side) - Do not stop to look at furniture in the middle of the aisle (step to the side) - Do not walk clumped into large groups of three or more in the middle of the aisle (I'm talking to you, extended family of 12, shopping together at IKEA for some god forsaken reason.) - Do not leave your cart blocking an aisle I know a lot of this seems obvious. Don't bring them with you to hang out at IKEA. And here are some more IKEA courtesy tips from me: - I love kids. And I definitely suggest you plan a midday work week trip because weekends are hell. This time around, we made about 4-5 trips to get and return things.

But IKEA is the best for everything else. For all the bad parts of the experience of shopping there in person, there's all the perks of getting modern, cool designs without going into debt forever. We just moved again and bought a lot of decor and essentials again from IKEA to furnish our apartment. That my products are in a warehouse in Hayward, and that they will be delivered to my home in about 3 to 5 days! I'm now changing the 3 stars I gave them down to 2 BUT NO! That yellow means, we got your order number and now that we got your attention.be prepared to WAIT EVEN LONGER!! Why can't IKEA have more employees so we don't have to wait so long for or purchases? Yay my number was just called!!! Wait they don't normally call numbers!! What's going on? I was just told after waiting this entire time that they do not have my products! Was told. All to GO STAND in ANOTHER LINE! It takes forever to pay for your products! But just when you see the light shining over at the EXIT door way, forget exiting!!! You need to make a sharp right turn AND GO WAIT AGAIN! Waiting and waiting! YouR starring at the PINK, YELLOW AND GREEN list on the screen waiting for your order number to go from color to color! When it moved from PINK to YELLOW you get exciting thinking FINALLY my additional purchases will be coming up soon. Or else it will turn a sharp left on its own. You have to go through the isles & bins to find your stuff and then once you find your heavy products you have to cart them on a cart that has a mind of its own that you can't dare take one hand off it. With so many stores closing due to the internet, maybe some lessons in customerr service would be advisable.Īs much money as this place makes IKEA should have enough employees to get your purchases a whole lot quicker! It's like we are cattle! We are directed through a maze! Once you go through the mazes you have to go find your products yourself. I wrenched my back trying to reach over the end caps to put the plants down with out knocking them over and I tossed the non breakables. I'm told to I have to take it out of the basket and put it on the belt. I have everything positioned so she doesn't have to pull anything thing out of the cart, the barcodes are all right there.

The clerk uses her hand held scanner to check out that customer and then it's my turn. You can't get to the conveyor belt because of the end caps of merchandise.

At the check out the customer in front has a full cart and the conveyor belt is on the right of the register with the customers on the left. As I struggled to hold it all I found an employee pushing three empty carts and I asked it I could have one but was told no he had to sort them? Ok so I put some things back and went outside to find a cart. I came in for one thing so I didn't get a cart, couldn't find what I wanted but I did pick up two heavy door mats then I found a few Plants.

Very disappointed with the rude empLoyees. Very disappointed with the rude empLoyees Best place for new minimalistic items that are hackable for any living space. Plenty of parking of course and great prices. The food is remarkably cheap and it's tradition now to eat a hotdog and drink lingonberry juice lol. Holiday items were 50% off so I grabbed some things for next year! Also, you can't leave without eating something because it's like treating yourself to a job well done. They were $4 here, other stores usually sell them for about $10. They had some great storage cubes for sale here for super cheap. To save time, I suggest looking online first. If you don't have decor ideas then you will take hours in their maze of decorated rooms upstairs lol. If you already know what you want just head straight to the market place area. I went on a Sunday and it wasn't horribly crazy. They always have something to tempt you with here.
