Default IKEA nonsense

Over the last fortnight I've been making up some Ikea furniture for our study. It's impressed me and the delivery in about a week was good.

We've decided we need a couple of £9 baskets for one of the shelves, only though you'd expect them to cost £18, you can't actually buy them for that much. You see the stores are closed, but you can click and collect. So, if I want to do a banned non essential 75 mile round trip I can collect them tomorrow but they'll cost £23, not £18.

Or I could have the baskets delivered and pay £22 BUT the earliest delivery date is 39 days away.

Quite why stock items at our nearest store take until mid March to be delivered is unfathomable and why they charge a fiver for collection and £4 for delivery is illogical. This is especially annoying when their website makes claims that their smaller, low value items are delivered in 1 to 3 days by DPD.

Have you had a look on ebay on the off-chance someone is selling some?

Good thought LR, and I've just checked and there's nothing on Ebay at present.
