This is how a forwarding delivery to a room of your choice works

To ensure that your large projects also move in, you can easily order your furniture online and have it conveniently delivered to your home by freight forwarder. As soon as you have entered your zip code, we will show you all available shipping methods.

Choose "Standard Delivery" for relaxed planning or "Express Delivery" if you're in a hurry. Decide on a delivery date and then enter your personal details. After completing your order, you will receive a confirmation email. In it, you will find your fixed delivery date.
On the day of delivery, we ask you to ensure free access to your delivery location. Important for you: An adult must sign at the time of delivery. The shipping company will take your order to a room of your choice. The delivery will not be divided into different rooms. It's best to check right away whether everything has arrived undamaged. If something is missing or damaged, just contact our IKEA customer service - we will take care of it!
