Ordering
1. Is this service available to me if I live in QLD, NSW or VIC?
This Online Shopping service is not available to people living within QLD, NSW or VIC and residents of these States should contact their local store in Brisbane, Sydney or Melbourne.
2. Can I purchase IKEA products online without having to talk to a co-worker?
It is not possible for us to offer a complete online service due to the complexity of delivery costs. We offer 3 ways of shopping with IKEA if you can't make it to our stores in Adelaide or Perth. You can order your goods online and our co-workers will contact you to confirm availability, provide you with a delivery charge and take payment. You can also order using phone or fax.
3. Do I have to sign up?
You do not need to sign up with us to make an online purchase. However, your online shopping experience can be even easier by creating an IKEA website profile. By doing this, you don’t have to add your personal information every time. (Your password keeps your personal information secure.)
4. How do I know my order has been received?
You will receive an automatically generated email confirming that your order has been received and outlining the details of your order – this will be sent to the email address you have given us. If you do not receive an email within an hour or so of submitting it, please contact us.
5. What if I forget my password?
If you forget your password, use the “secret question & answer” section next to the log-in fields to help you. If you answer your secret question correctly, your password will be emailed to you instantly. Then simply log in as normal.
6. Do prices include GST?
Yes, all prices listed are inclusive of 10% GST.
7. Can I put a hold on goods?
No, unfortunately IKEA is not able to hold goods. IKEA is a ‘cash ‘n carry’ business and is unable to provide a storage service for goods that have been purchased. This is how we are able to offer home furnishings at the lowest possible prices.
8. What if something I order is not in stock?
Every reasonable effort will be made to ensure that all featured merchandise is available, but interruption in supply may occur. IKEA also reserves the right to vary specifications and design or use alternative materials as deemed necessary or desirable at any time. (Changes or variation not to affect quality, performance or appearance.)If an item you have ordered is not in stock, our Online Shopping co-worker will notify you and will advise you of your options.
9. Can I only order via the website?
You can also place an order bycalling Online Shopping on 1300 453 234 Monday to Friday 9am-5pm (WST) or fax Online Shopping on (08) 9201 4788
10. Is there a minimum order amount?
Yes. A minimum order amount of $100 (excluding packing, handling and delivery charges) applies. For all orders under $100, please visit your local store.

Delivery
1. Does Online Shopping deliver orders outside of mainland Australia?
Online Shopping is not able to offer a total delivery service outside of mainland Australia. For customers in Tasmania (and other islands eg. Norfolk Is etc) we can post goods if they are less than one cubic metre and weigh less than 20kg. We can arrange delivery to a freight company. You will need to make your own arrangements with the freight company to deliver your goods.Unfortunately we do not offer the Online Shopping service outside of Australia.
2. What happens if I am not at home to receive my delivery?
Unfortunately we cannot deliver to the designated address unless someone is there to acknowledge receipt of the delivery.
3. Will I receive a full refund if I cancel my order?
You will receive a full refund (inc. delivery fees) if the goods have not been despatched from our premises.
4. What if the products I order are breakable?
As a rule we advise against Online Shopping delivery for breakable items (eg. ceramic dishes, glasses or glass vases). Although we take care to wrap these items as well as possible, we are not liable for any breakages that occur during transit. Sorry, we are unable to post glass items through Australia Post.If you would still like us to send out breakable items to you, we will require an email waiver which absolves IKEA and the chosen freight company from any responsibility should any damages occur. One of our staff members can discuss this with you over the phone and email you the waiver.
5. How much will it cost for postage and delivery?
The amount of postage or the delivery fee will depend entirely on what products you order and where the goods are being shipped to.Purchases can vary widely on width, height, weight and length which all play a role in determining cost. Of course the distance from the store to destination is also a factor. Other factors such as the need for two delivery personnel and the type of access will impact on the price. Our co-workers will be able to offer you a price for delivery once all the factors are known. As a rule there will be a charge for packing & handling and this will depend on the particulars and size of your order. A minimum charge would be $15. We charge standard rates for postage of parcels up to 20kg (and with a volume measurement of less than 1 cubic metre). An example of these costs can be found at the Australia Post website. Sorry, we are unable to post glass items through Australia Post. For items weighing more than 20kg a courier service will be used. We use a number of different companies depending on whether the delivery is metropolitan, regional or interstate and we will provide a customised quote for you over the phone. As a guide, a delivery fee of at least $60 would be payable. If a large item like a sofa or bed was being delivered the cost would be considerably higher. (the cost to send a KLIPPAN sofa from Perth to Kalgoorlie would be approx. $250). All of the costs associated with shipping will be discussed with you thoroughly over the phone. If for some reason you weren’t happy with the quote/s you are more than welcome to cancel the order, or arrange your own courier (this is very common), without any hard feelings!
6. How long do deliveries take?
As a guide:Metropolitan deliveries will be next day for most areas and will take up to 3 days for others. Regional deliveries will take up to 14 working days. Specific delivery timeframes will be discussed with you over the phone. If your goods do not arrive by the end of the timeframe given, please contact us.
7. Can I order products and then pick them up myself?
Unfortunately this is not possible. IKEA is a ‘cash ‘n carry’ business and is unable to provide a storage service for goods that have been purchased. All goods ordered through Online Shopping must be posted, despatched or delivered to your designated courier company.

Payment
1. What are my payment options?
You can pay for your purchases by providing your credit card details to our co-workers when they call to confirm your order. We accept VISA and MasterCard, sorry we do not accept American Express or Diners. If you have an IKEA Gift Card, you only need to provide the number to our co-workers.
2. Do you offer lay-bys?
No, we do not offer lay-bys for IKEA products as we are a ‘cash ‘n carry’ business. This is how we are able to offer home furnishings at the lowest possible prices.
3. How do I get my receipt?
Your receipt will be mailed out to your address. Please keep this as a proof of your purchase.
4. Can I purchase IKEA Gift Cards online?
Gift cards can be purchased online or by phoning Online Shopping on 1300 453 234, Mon-Fri, 9am-5pm (WST). Gift cards are available in any denomination. These will be posted via Australia Post registered mail and you will be charged according to the value. We do this because gift cards are treated as cash (no identifying information about the purchaser is included on the card) and so should be protected against possible misuse or theft.
