The pandemic reshaped how we live—and how we work. Bedrooms turned into offices. Dining tables doubled as desks. And suddenly, having a dedicated home office wasn't a luxury—it became a necessity.

To support this shift, many companies started offering subsidies for remote work essentials: ergonomic chairs, desks, shelves, and even modems. That surge in demand sent big-name retailers like IKEA scrambling to adapt their delivery systems. If you're planning to furnish your home office or upgrade your space, here’s what’s really happening behind the scenes with IKEA delivery—and what you can do to avoid delays.

What’s Changed With IKEA Delivery?

1. No More Same-Day Delivery Promises

High demand means that the once-reliable same-day deliveries are now uncertain. IKEA can no longer guarantee when your items will arrive. That’s left many customers stuck waiting—with no clear ETA for essential furniture.

2. Curbside Drop-Offs Only

In the past, your new bed or desk might be carried right into your room. Now? Deliveries are often dropped at your doorstep. That means no help with lifting or moving—and getting bulky packages inside is now your responsibility.

3. No Returns or Exchanges (For Now)

Due to COVID regulations, returns and exchanges have been paused. It’s a tough reality if your new desk doesn't fit or your chair isn't quite right. So it's more important than ever to double-check dimensions before ordering.

4. Flat-Rate Shipping—Good for Some, Bad for Others

IKEA has introduced a flat shipping fee in many regions. That’s great if you’re buying a large order. But if you only need a few small items, you might end up paying more for shipping than the product itself.

5. No Assembly Help from TaskRabbit

Perhaps the most frustrating change—IKEA's in-house assembly support is no longer available. Now you're left with tools, instruction manuals, and a big project ahead. Unless, of course, you find someone else who can do it for you…
