So I was About To Order My Ikea Fredrik

[flashpoint603]

First off, sorry if this is the wrong place.

When I got to"review your order", OMG!!!!

Ikea Fredrik $149.00

Shipping and Handling $282.50

This is absolutely insane, do they send people from Ikea instead of using a parcel service or what!? I would almost consider driving to Atlanta to pick it up myself! (live in TN)

Is there another place I can buy this desk from and get cheap shipping?

Ikea shipping is not for the faint at heart. They use a delivery service, not UPS/FedEX. If you have a (even remotely) local store and a friend with a pickup then just grab it yourself, otherwise be ready to suck up the cost.

Wow, makes me even more glad to have one in the Twin Cities.

Lucky me, my family lives up in Cincinnati, OH. They just opened up a store there in West Chester. So I'll be picking up all my needs from them when I go up for Christmas. That or I'll head down to Atlanta and back which would only take about 6-7 hours with travel time and pickup.

All this work, I feel like I should be getting a JERKER and not the fredrik!
