Returns and Product issues

  • Can I return items?

    If you’re not totally satisfied you can return products within 365 days of purchase. Please note:

    • Refunds will always be made back to the original method of purchase.
    • We will give you a full refund when products are returned to us with proof of purchase in new, unused and re-saleable condition, with the packaging. You can return most of our products to any IKEA store. Just to let you know, we are unable to offer refunds or exchange for custom made worktops, food or drinks. Unless faulty, we may refuse the return or offer a refund card if the returns criteria are not fully met.

    We have several different ways you can return products to us. For full details please view our Return policy.

  • Something is wrong with my product, what should I do?

    We’re really sorry that you have an issue with your product. Depending on the issue, there are several options available:

    Damaged/Faulty part – You can take just the part and your receipt to an IKEA store and we will exchange this for you. Alternatively, you can return the entire item for an exchange or a refund. If you can’t make it back to an IKEA store, you can contact us and we will discuss options with you.

    Faulty item – If your item is within its guarantee, usually 1 year unless otherwise stated, you can return the item to a store for a replacement or refund, or contact us and we will discuss options with you.

    Missing part – If the part has a 6 digit code on the assembly guide we can arrange for these to be posted directly to you free of charge. Just click here to fill out a spare parts request form. If there is no 6 digit code, you can visit an IKEA store and we will provide the part for you.

    Faulty Kitchen appliance – You will need to contact the manufacturer directly. They will usually arrange for an engineer to visit you and either repair or replace the item for you. You can find their contact details and what information you will need on our appliance claims page.

    And remember, if you damaged the item yourself and swiped your IKEA Family card at the till in-store, you may be covered by IKEA Family card insurance.

  • Do you provide extra or replacement fittings?

    Most fittings have a 6 digit code in the assembly guide. If you can find this code, you can quickly and easily order the parts you need. Just click here to fill out a spare parts request form. If you no longer have the assembly instructions then copies can be found on the product page, see for more information. For older products that no longer appear online, you can visit any IKEA store where they may be able to provide you with the parts or order them for you.

  • How can I get help with assembly?

    You can find digital copies of assembly instructions next to the product description online, ask in store or contact us for general help. Or if you would like the furniture assembled* you can find more information on our services page.

  • The product I’ve purchased has a faulty or damaged part

    You only need to take the faulty part to a store with your receipt and we will exchange this for you. Alternatively, you may return the whole product for a replacement or full refund. If you damaged the item yourself and swiped your IKEA Family card at the till you may be covered by IKEA Family card insurance.

  • Missing Assembly instructions

    Copies can be found in the product description on the website. If you are unable to locate the assembly guide, please contact us with information about the product and if possible email pictures. We will do our best to locate them for you.

  • Faulty items, under guarantee

    IKEA offers a generous guarantee policy. Guarantees can be found by visiting our guarantees page. If you do notice a problem with any product within the first year of purchase or within the full guarantee period*, please return the item to a store or contact us and email pictures with a description of the fault. Please include proof of the original purchase from IKEA.

    *Please note that appliances bought from the Bargain Corner (“As is” corner) in stores only include a 1-year guarantee.
