The deed is done. I’ve ordered the Ikea fitted wardrobe/storage units for both bedrooms 1 and 2 and have arranged to pick them up from Nantes on Friday. And it’s even more painful than I thought because there’s no way that everything will fit into my car. The alternative would be to load it all onto my large trailer but somehow I don’t think I can risk having 10 mirror doors worth 950€ bumping along in my trailer for the 400 kms from Nantes to Fleurac. So I’ve decided to play safe and hire a van for the job which will add around another 150€ to the cost.
But there’s a sting in the tail. Ikea Nantes does not have one small 50cm wide cabinet carcass in stock so I tried to order that from Bordeaux for pick-up at their ‘point relais’ in Trelissac, incurring a delivery cost of 29€. No, Ikea want to play silly beggars yet again. For some reason they have decided that delivery to a ‘point relais’, that’s any ‘point relais’, will not be permitted and that it must be delivered to my home for which the delivery charge will increase to 39€.
This will be the last time I buy anything from Ikea. At least I hope so. It’s all been so painfully difficult 🙁
