Given that Ikea is one of the few stores that are charging a fee for click and collect
Might be a useful offer to save a few bucks
Has to be ordering via the Ikea app and over $50
Ikea Family membership required, sign up for Free: https://www.ikea.com/au/en/profile/signup/family/

But, you need to spend at least $100 to qualify for a $10 off voucher, and yes, to use the voucher you must spend a further $50.
to get $10 you must first give $50
just buy some filler and then return it straight after you collect it. Note: The discount is proportionated across each item on the receipt.
And wait a month to receive that voucher, and have two months to spend it.
And the item is now OOS
The code is generic and to my knowledge still works if you aren't eligible.
Pick up your items for free.. what a concept
Probably subsidises for the time a staff member has to traverse the ridiculous maze of a store just to fulfil an order.
Correct. and also the labour required to collect all your very heavy flat packs from various locations around the warehouse.
Hold on. So it’s like saying the fee is their tip?
Flat pack stuff is on the shelf at the very end of the IKEA maze?

There are many expenses for running a business. All of their costs should be factored into their pricing, not nickel and diming their customers.
There's no fee for someone who goes in store and doesn't use self check out, which results in extra expenses due to labour costs - why should click and collect be any different.
@PainToad: Because the entire business model of IKEA is built around you collecting your own stuff from the warehouse.
Paying someone to operate a register is priced into their products but paying someone to push a trolley around to collect your stuff isn’t.

Gotcha. They're another dinosaur brick and mortar retail store that is dragging their feet to evolve and deserve to collapse in the not too distant dfuture.
ridiculous maze of a store
Maze they built
More likely somewhat offsets IKEA's business model of getting people to wander around the maze and pick up stuff that they didn't think they needed originally.
they won't be wrapped nicely either, bring your own bag.
what a deal
I use secret method, I look up item on internet go to the store, use their computer locator and pick it up for free
(while waiting you can nibble their restaurant menus on offer, not free)
how are you nibbling their menus? Usually they're overhead in the cafeteria?
youre right, yes they are but at least they are good quality compared to junk at maccas and HJ's (around the area)
kids love their meatballs and unique favours of sparkling sodas, all in all they have good vibe going in stores I mean
Sushi train at Sushi WAWA is the only food offering near our Ikea store.
Still prefer the mystery meatballs at Ikea.
Guess I'm a masochist.

I see you're are from the past.
As opposed to paying $5 to have the incorrect C&C order items, you can now get the wrong items collected for free.
I did multiple C&C at Rhodes Ikea last year and their process, if any, was in total shambles. Can't believe customers had to pay for the pleasure too.
Easier to get it delivered (for not much more) rather than waste half your day looking for it in store.
Ikea delivery is ridiculous. Like $50 for a 2x4 Kallax drom memory
I had to pay like $60 for a sofa that came in 2 flat pack, I did not know that.
Until they deliver the wrong items twice, then tell you to "just bring it back in store and we'll swap it free of charge".
They simply didn't deliver some of my items, telling me for 2 months "it's on its way" before refunding my card without letting me know beforehand.
I have also tried the C&C option - had to wait for an hour along with a bunch of other ppl while the staff went around collecting our orders. This was AFTER we'd all received emails telling us our orders were ready for collection.
they cancelled my c&c order for 2 packs of ladda batteries, but didn't refund me back the $5 c&c fee until i raised a paypal dispute which paypal decided in my favour in about 2 minutes. sneaky bastards.
Hold the phones!
Watcha gettin?
start the car!
now just need one of those $10 codes
Free C&C but no meatballs

Unlikely to end. Every retailer is over stocked thinking the good times will never end.
thinking the good times will never end.
Sounds like every person who brought a house in the last 24 months.
Where to?
Amazing deal, I ordered 3
Great to see IKEA has jacked up the price significantly on a some things (dining chairs, chair covers, and a display cabinet) that were on my shopping list. Oh well. Not something I need asap so I'll wait it out and see if they drop in price before I actually need to buy them.
once price goes up it stays up even if cost comes down
Im hoping supply and demand may change that. Ie, if they've got stock and its not selling, they could end up reducing the price again. Fingers crossed.
Do any of the Sydney stores have pick-up lockers?
Thanks, OP. Still annoying that IKEA charges that $5 fee. I guess this is to get people to sign up to IKEA family.
Membership is free for those wondering and usually there's a $10 off voucher with a $50 spend every quarter. The latest hasn't been sent out yet.
