5 Hour queues at Ikea..... madness
My friend attempted to go there on Monday but couldn’t wait that long in the queue, so ended up going back home. Went again yesterday and walked straight in, no queue at all, place deserted inside.
She was going to order online, but the shipping (I think it was £25? was too much (though she was buying a bad and other furniture, so I thought that was quite reasonable? I dunno.)
Anyway, after Monday’s attempt she decided to buy it online after all, but they’d put the delivery up by £10 and delivery was now expected end of July. I guess a lot of people in that Monday rush were buying things to get delivered. I’m not sure if Ikea do their own delivery now, I know it used to be contracted out.
