They’re handling my whole IKEA order (about 250 pounds) including purchasing, delivery to the Seattle docks, shipping, and delivery to their store in Anchorage for about $120. I think I just found my new favorite way to deal with IKEA.

Does anyone know if it’s possible to recreate this through the Portland store? I know it’s farther away from a freight shipping dock, but wouldn’t it be possible to still pay the Portland IKEA to palletize the order and deliver it to a freight shipper? I wonder if the Seattle vs. Portland store is better. More interested in spending a long weekend in Portland than Seattle so I’m researching the pros and cons. Also…anyone have experience with getting stuff to Homer?

I just figured out my shipping and at the end of 2013 (when I ordered) I paid $152 for about 380lbs of IKEA furniture with American Fast Freight to Anchorage. Plus the $99 for shipping and handling at Ikea to the freight forwarder.

I order over the phone from Seattle. pay the $75 to have them drive the order to Lynden Transport. Lynden delivers it to Fairbanks, or straight to my house for $50 extra. All together shipping adds approximately 35% to the cost of the order but it is worth it. We have purchased wardrobes, sinks & bathroom cabinets, beds and more.

I know that Anchorage is probably far more common of a location – but so far my price quotes have been all over the place so any kind of bearing on a ballpark figure would be awesome. 🙂

I am moving to Fairbanks in July, and since I am completely new to this delivery business, could any one of you give me a rough amount for how much your freight ended up costing? I am looking to purchase an entire 1-bedroom setup from IKEA – any information would be helpful! My email is linsy22689@gmail.com if you don’t feel comfortable posting here.

Thank you!
Steven

Here is the email address I used: ikeabusiness250@ikea.com
I originally called Ikea Online and they told me to contact the Seattle store. I just emailed them with the freight forwarders address and a quote number(American Fast Freight is who I used and you will need weight for this) and my order. She emailed me back with my order total and an authorization form and then called to take payment. It was very easy. Hope this helps!

It look a month for them to ship it cross country to the Seattle Carlisle office, and then it was freight forwarded to me from there in 2-3 days. I loved the Carlisle option – I could look up each item and see what the shipping would be. The entire shipping from Carlisle was about $300 for tables, chairs, dressers, bookcases, storage supplies, etc. I will definitely do it again but would rather find a way to work directly with the Seattle office and skip the cross country shipping. Interesting to see how other people have done this!

How did you email them your order? I ordered a bunch from them in November and it was a massive pain trying to get ahold of anyone in Seattle. I found a random phone number that worked, but they wouldn’t take my order over the phone, and told me my only option was to be there in person.
