Ikea Lakside UK
I have placed my order at Ikea Lakeside on 13/03/2018. We agree about delivery date on 23/03/2018. Few days before delivery date I have received message that delivery was set on 05/04/2018. Just few days before delivery date I have received new message that delivery was set on 21/04/2018 and just few days before I have received new date for delivery on 04/05/2018. Then I start worry because it took too long and was made too many delays.
On 21/04/2018 I went to Lakeside Ikea and talked with customer service. They said that induction hob is no longer for sale so let’s why my order was delayed. However, no one has advised me to choose another hob. They said someone should call me on Monday.
23/04/2018 at 15:33 I called to Ikea. I talked with Connor and he said me next (email as confirmation of our conversation was sent later) :
Good Afternoon Erika,

As I said on the phone Andrew from the Kitchen Installation Team in Lakeside will be calling you back in the next 10 minutes to clear everything up.

24/04/2018 09:43 am I have called to Ikea and I have received different answer about situation, they told me that installation team is very busy and they can’t arrange appointment, but they promised to call me back. No one called me back again.

I have called to Lakeside Ikea customer service today (30/04/2018 at 10:02) and lady said that delivery was set now on 7th of May 2018. So, I was just shocked and said that I do not trust any more this company (Ikea) and I want to cancel my order.
Regarding this situation I want make complain and ask for compensation for all my wasted time. This is not acceptable and Ikea’s customer service was unprofessional, they do not offered me any other missing or removed item from sale to be changed. I said to them for few times that I’m open to any change just tell me what we have to change. They do not offered me any other advice or even they do not call me back. Now I have to deal with Finance company to get refund.
This kitchen was very important to me as I’m natural cosmetic maker and my kitchen should be always clean and all items easy findable. In this time my kitchen was prepared to be removed so lot of item still in the boxes.
Let me know.
Best regards
Erika
