With 55% of UK furniture online shop users saying they like IKEA, the Swedish giant has captured the nation’s hearts and homes. But before you click “buy” on those flat-pack treasures, getting clued up on delivery costs can save you both cash and headaches. IKEA typically charges around £4 for small items and between £40 and £50 for bigger furniture pieces, but there’s more to the story than just these basic prices.
While IKEA’s delivery service works for many shoppers, third-party delivery options might give you a better deal depending on what you’re after. In this guide, we’ll walk you through all your options and compare prices, helping you plan your budget properly so you can get your flat-pack treasures home without any nasty surprises.

FAQs
Since you’re hiring a third-party delivery service to pick up and deliver your IKEA purchases, don’t forget to use the Click & Collect service. Give the necessary documents to the Tasker to ensure they can promptly get your items during the store’s operating hours. Your Tasker must bring a government-issued photo ID, a copy of your order confirmation displaying their name, and your order number.
When specified or booked separately, Taskers can assist in the placement, installation, or assembly of your IKEA furniture once they deliver it to your home.
