Getting Ikea furniture in Ireland

ballooba

So Ikea announced plans for Dublin and Belfast stores today. That's all well and good and I'm delighted for the people of Ballymun.

My question is, what if i can't wait? Is my only option to get the ferry and drive to Warrington?

I know Flatpack Ireland used to import Ikea products to Ireland but they went bust due to inefficiencies. Is there another option? I have my three items picked out.

I'm so excited.

Perhaps order online and have delivered. Maybe IKEA delivers to Eire from UK?

I think if you contact the glasgow store, they can organise delivery to Ireland

Can't order online. Thanks DingDing. I'll give the Glasgow store a buzz. Meanwhile if anyone is planning a trip to Warrington I'd be happy to pay half your ferry (€50) if you would pick me up a few things.

As for DingoDongo you mightn't be but lots of people have been waiting for this.

You could cut down some of the trees on your street and make your own furniture?

There's an IKEA sign on the N7 in Moneygall, I think, advertising a company that imports IKEA

I'm not sure if it's in Moneygall, it's certainly somewhere between Moneygall and Mountrath.

I'd say that sign is for Flatpack Ireland. They went bust. Kept missing stuff in the shipments and having to send them seperately I think. The delivery costs stripped their profits.

ehh...im quite definate I read an article about 3 months ago about Ikea opening a store in Ireland...about retail Nirvana, Irelands neauveau rich etc etc...

I thought there was one already here, but I could be way off.

ballooba , IKEA in glasgow will deliver if you visit+pay in store , IKEA Edinburgh will take your order and payment over the phone and deliver to Ireland !! check the IKEA Edinburgh website for the exact details

Thanks Angel_Of_Death, if the Glasgow trail runs into a dead end I'll try Edinburgh.

As regards the Ikea in Dublin it won't be open for a good while. They haven't applied for P.P. yet.
