IKEA needs no further description, but if we are to say a few words about it, it is a favorite among those interested in upgrading their living space and improving their homes. Offering a wide variety of products from sofas to bedding, the retailer has something for every room.

Besides the great selection of products it features, IKEA Canada offers weekly deals and offers delivery services to help you save when stocking up on your needs.
If you live in Canada and would like to know more about the shipping options available at this retailer and how you can save both time and money when shopping, this article might help. We will cover the main delivery options and their pricing.
Parcel Delivery
If you typically shop for smaller items, such as decorations and textiles, so nothing oversized, but you still want your order to be delivered to your location of choice, IKEA’s parcel delivery option is worth considering.
The shipping cost for this option starts at $7.99, but it increases based on the parcel’s weight. While you will get an estimated delivery date, if you want to keep track of your parcel, you can do so through the FedEx website with the tracking numbers provided in the email you received.
To see if IKEA delivers to your address, visit IKEA.ca, then go to the IKEA services page, and enter your postal code for more on the available delivery services in your area. You will thus know immediately if you can benefit from home delivery.
Doorstep Delivery
In case smaller furniture is what you have in mind for your next order at IKEA, then doorstep delivery is a suitable option. Given that this option is best for the type of items just mentioned, it also costs more, so for doorstep delivery, you will have to pay from $39. Even if the cost is higher than in the case of the previous option, it applies to orders that include items bigger than decorations.
As the name suggests, the order is left at your doorstep, and it is delivered within a selected range of days. It is worth mentioning that while you have the possibility to choose the delivery date, the service provider is the one to choose the time.
In-Home Delivery
For many customers, IKEA is the go-to store for larger furniture. The retailer offers the in-home delivery option for items that can’t be left curbside, such as appliances and wardrobes. This means that your order will be delivered into your household’s entryway (first threshold).
Since the items included in such shipments are larger, the cost is higher, so you will pay for in-home delivery from $49. This is the starting price as it increases based on demand and distance from the closest IKEA store. In the case of this option, you have the possibility to choose between a 2 or 4-hour delivery window.
It is also worth mentioning that in case you want to shop for your business, IKEA can deliver your order to your business location.
Click and Collect
If you don’t have the time to shop for the things you need in-store, but you’d like to save money, you might want to consider the retailer’s Click and Collect option. This allows customers to order and pay online and collect their order from a local IKEA store, Pickup locker, or an external Pickup location. You can select this option during checkout.
The entire process is pretty straightforward, as all you have to do is add the items of interest to your shopping cart, select the Click and Collect option, and then choose a pickup date. You can typically choose a date within the following three days, but this may differ from one IKEA store to another.
You will receive an email once your order is ready for pickup, as well as instructions on how to collect the order.
This option is not available at all IKEA stores, though, so make sure to check the Click and Collect page for more information regarding the available pick-up locations.
As far as pricing is concerned, if you choose to collect your order at an IKEA store, you will pay $5 per order. There is no limit regarding the maximum package size and limit for such orders. If, instead, you want to use a pick-up location, you will get flat-rate shipping.
