Placed an order for urgent delivery. Package is split into 2 delivery days, not ideal but okay. Second delivery date comes and the order doesn't arrive. The Ikea website just says it's "getting ready". Ring next day and get loads of apologies and reorganisation for delivery. Delivery day comes and goes and again no delivery. Apparently there was a problem with the vehicle, hmmmm, but that doesn't explain why I didn't receive the day before notification that usually comes. Did they mean their vehicle broke down the day before or they are psychics who didn't send the notification message the day before because they already knew the vehicle would have a problem? Impressive.
Ring again, get loads of empty apologies again. So now my order is apparently going to be delivered 10 days after it was placed - for urgent delivery.
As for compensation, after taking 3 working days off as holiday, 2 botched deliveries, and hours spent on the phone I had the choice between receiving £10 back that I paid for urgent delivery OR £30 Ikea gift voucher. I pointed out that I should be refunded the £10 anyway as I had not received urgent delivery, which was agreed, but then I would not be offered any further compensation for my ordeal and my time wasted by ikea.
Come on Ikea, If you are already offering me a £30 voucher do you really despise your customers that much that you can't refund them £10 extra they paid for urgent delivery - that they didn't get? Doesn't seem like very fair customer service to me.
