Make sure the stuff will fit in your car
This tip will help any shopper while shopping at any retail store, not just IKEA. Before you make the trip to a store, make sure that your car will fit all of the stuff you purchased. If it doesn’t, then you’ll either have to shop in batches or figure out an alternative.
Thankfully, IKEA has a helpful delivery service. Shipping costs vary from place to place and the distance from the store to your home. However, it’s a lot less time-consuming to ask for delivery than it is to come back to the store and pick up whatever you left behind.
