Does IKEA suck for you too?

Maybe it's me. There, that's my disclaimer.  IKEA just sucks. 



  • Stores are designed to keep you moving like a gerbil in a habitrail, picking up scraps of cheese along the way until you get to the end.
  • Helpful and willing salespeople are hard to find.
  • Check outs are slow and have long lines.
  • Assembly.  Do I even need to mention it?
  • Website? Go ahead and try to create your PAX closet online. 
  • Delivery.  XPO's voice response system doesn't recognize my zip code.  Absolutely no changes to delivery times. 
  • XPO's website gives an AJAX error. 
  • How about some horse meat meatballs, Trigger?
  • And the long lines to pay for your meatballs.
  • HERE IS A POSITIVE:  The Ikea twitter account is manned by people who try to help!
