I really really really want to go to IKEA to do some christmas shopping for my kid.
The closest one is 274 miles away. the one that has the items I want is 294.20 miles from my front door.
Ikea has a catalog. But get this – the don’t offer the items in the catalog for over the phone or online ordering.
Then pray tell what is the friggin point of the catalog?!?
well according to Neil over at Ikea, the catalog serves as a guide to the customers in the store.
Pardon me Neil, let me make sure I got this striaght. Your Catalog is not for people who can’t get to an IKEA, its for the people already in it, or going to go to it? You print up a two hundred page guide for the people who already have access?
this is easily the dumbest thing I think I have ever heard of from an actual compnay that supposedly prides its self on its customer service.
sad thing is….
I still wanna go.

there is talk of and Ikea coming here soon.
shhhhhhh
They been talking about it for like three years- rumor has it that they are thinking of the old St.Louis Center as IKEA’s St. Louis home. We’ll see though
not to say that their furniture is not good..but i’m not drinking the koolaid. and btw that is a dumd idea…(i spelled it right) that the ‘catalog’ is actually an in store guide. is that the ‘this week on sale’ thing u pick up at the front of the grocery store?
and…IKEA actually stands for I Need Everything Advertised….snap out the hynosis..its banana republic furniture….
no this isn’t a weekly circular – this is the 250 pg 2007 guide – they are gonna reprint for 2008 – send out to any one who requests a catalog- catalog. I would have no complaints if this were a weekly circular.
and I’m okay if its banana republic furniture, its costs like its from target or walmart and holds up like its from Lane, (almost) and that’s good enough for me – I did marry Jerry captain got a glass will break it , and I employ Grandma “dishes are the devil” Dell, so I need a deal where ever I can get one.

Now, was that necessary? Just being mean for meanness-sake….
Sure its true, but still…you aint gotta TELL ere’body!
Benticore
Out
Can you give us links to pics of the furniture you want for Cammy on IKEA’s website? Inquiring minds (of parents of similarly aged children who might be needing new furniture in a new house) want to know.
we were in florida visiting my dad, and i really wanted to buy a bed from ikea for them, and was in fact shocked that there were Ikea stores anywhere in the whole state! Or even in a neighbouring state. Its weird. Only because I live in toronto, and we have like 3 ikeas close by, and like 6 in the province! weird.
anyways, my son, 4 year old LOVES ikea, even more than me! I think its his favourite place to go, and he loves to look at the stuff. this might be even more weird!
your kids are beautiful!
i game, let make a road trip in the new car.
give me a reason to put it on the road. and go to ikea, i have been trying to go for months now with no one to go with
My comment is late. I’m just catching up. Dude, I have the catalog, I didn’t know they wouldn’t ship out merchandise to you. Yikes! That’s just stupid, just plain stupid. FYI the rumors that everyone has posted are ones I have seen before. Word in the herd is that the mayor has been trying to lure IKEA here for awhile now. I also read that a possible spot for IKEA is the now money losing ghetto fabulous, don’t shop there after 5pm any day Northwest Plaza. They are talking about leveling it and ploping IKEA there. I went to IKEA in Seattle. It is something that everyone should experience at least once in their lifetime. I couldn’t move or speak for at least 10 minutes. It is surreal. The catalog really doesn’t do it justice. And another thing to piss you off is they have exclusives in the store that are unavailable or shown in the catalog. Just acres and acres of fly sh*t you will not see in the catalog. Display after display. Let me stop before I start convulsing again. The stuff we did buy, we had to have shipped home via the UPS Store. We lost our shirt on the shipping. IKEA must come here. When they do, I will get a part time job. I’ll be waiting. And FYI Jinks is spelled Jinx like Linx without the L not like hijinks. She isn’t a comedy routine.
ummm…. she really is a comedy routine..
seriously
actually, the talk is of putting the store out by the Mills
Well Raquita and Copa, I hope IKEA will see the light of freakin’ day. The Mills Hmmm, that’s like 12 minutes from the crib. Works for me. That would be sweet! Besides, the Mills needs some help. The stores there such major
did jer tell you we saw him, i love cbabi.
