Buyback service

Looking to refresh your home but unsure what to do with furniture you no longer need? If your used IKEA furniture is in good condition, you can return selected IKEA products through our Buyback service.

At IKEA, you can now return used IKEA products that are in good condition and, depending on their condition, receive an IKEA gift card in return. The products must be in good condition, complete, clean, unaltered, odour-free, and properly assembled. We will then give your IKEA product a new home by reselling it in our Second-chance Shop. Please note that the current range of products eligible for return may change.

How it works

1.Calculate the estimated buyback value of your IKEA products

Check whether your items are eligible for the buyback service and provide the details and a description of the condition of your IKEA product to receive a quote.

2. You will receive your Buyback quote by email

You will receive your quote by email, including the quote number and your estimated buyback value. 

3. Return your IKEA products

Your offer is valid for three weeks from the date of receipt. Take your assembled products and your offer to your nearest IKEA store.

4. Assessment and final offer

In the returns and exchanges area, an IKEA employee will check the condition of your IKEA products. A final offer will be made, which may differ from your initial, non-binding offer. 

5. You will receive an IKEA gift card

You will receive a gift card worth the value of your final bid, which you can redeem at any time online or in-store.
