Shoppers are only just realising little-known trick to bag free Ikea items

On Mar 8, 2023

Ikea is one of the best places to shop for furniture.

But if you’re buying fittings for an entire room, the costs can be a lot.

Now did you know you can get items for free from the Scandinavian chain?

The trick comes from ordering spare parts from Ikea which you don’t have to pay for.

It works if you’ve ordered an item from the chain which is broken.

This includes screws, knobs or plugs which might have gone missing or arrived damaged with your product.

It could end up saving you cash so you don’t need to go and replace your product.

The chain’s self-service team will deliver what you need to your door at no extra cost.

To claim extra parts, you’ll need to go onto the self-service part of the Ikea website.

Click “Order here” under “Spare parts” when you type in a spare part number which is included in your product’s manual.

But if you don’t have that or can’t find it, don’t worry as it’s on the website too.

Just search for your item on the Ikea homepage and it should be under the product detail section.

You’ll need to click on “Assembly & Documents” down the sidebar and it should be in there.

Once you typed in the spare part numbers, you’ll need to add your address to receive specific bits to your product.

Alternatively, you can visit your local store to see what you might need.

Other ways to save money at Ikea could be that you check out the in-store and online scheme called Circular Hub.

It aims to fight waste while also offering products at a cheaper rate.

It’s the rebranded “bargains corner” of the store, where old and returned stock is resold at a fraction of the price.

So if you don’t mind furniture that’s been in another home or out on the shop floor, you can save up to half price.
