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.
