Shop on Amazon
If the nearest IKEA outlet is a couple of hundred miles away, then making the trip to IKEA means finding a hotel to spend the night. Nobody has the time or energy to do that just for a new mattress or storage shelf. However, if you have an Amazon Prime account, you can save a ton of time and money.
With Amazon Prime, you can get one or two-day shipping for any eligible product. Now, IKEA does not have an official Amazon page, so you’ll have to pay a premium price to purchase things from resellers (most likely employees who enjoy the 15% discount). But in the end, it’s worth the higher upfront cost and free shipping!
