Update 2: I signed up to receive an email of beds back in stock (did not receive this update), but checked online anyway...7 beds were in stock and waited until 11:00 ET and got a slot for curbside pickup in 2 days... do you think it will happen?
Update 1: Beds out of stock... so bummed.... should i keep trying or order for delivery at the end of August? I've been looking at these beds, SLAVT for 5 months. So bummed I didn't get them when I could.
Did you know that the pickup dates at IKEA resets at 1 AM ET? I'm waiting to get a spot to pickup in about 40 minutes. Yesterday, it was about 2 days out. I hope to get a spot on the weekend, but not hopeful. Delivery is at the end of August. |

That is a shame, do they have a notify me when back in stock option?
I had my very first delivery from Ikea this week, the pick up option was not only weeks and weeks away but only available at one store in the whole of the UK and that store wasn't near me. The delivery option was better (in that I could get a reasonable delivery date) but pricy.

If it is a bed you really want and they would be able to deliver it at the end of August, I’d go ahead and order it. The end of August is only 6 weeks away. |

Do not believe their ship dates. Lies, lies, lies.
Do not believe that because it is in stock, that they will pick and ship your order.
Seriously, do not order from Ikea unless you can wait months. I ordered in April and was given a June 15 ship date. All items were in stock. And yet, I am still waiting. They didn't record picking the order until July 13 -- nearly a month after I was supposed to have it in hand. Currently they say it will arrive July 27, but haven't packed or shipped it. So yeah, it is not getting here on July 27, more than 3 months after I ordered items that were in stock.

They canceled that the day after it was supposed to be delivered. It's currently 3 months out. |

Well. I waited 3 weeks to order something from Ikea, as the closest Ikea is nearly 4 hours away. I kept saying, delivery takes about 5 weeks. That's crazy. But I couldn't find the correct size (dang Euro sizes) in the US and having it custom made was $$$$, so I placed the order and thought I was going to go crazy with the wait.
I think we all know where this ends, sadly. I finally got my order and now, 4 weeks later, it is still sitting waiting to be put together. Sigh.
Order it!

I wouldn't order it - there are way too many horror stories about people ordering and waiting months and months past the promised ship date for their stuff to be sent out. I would only consider a pickup slot.
We did curbside pickup back in April or maybe even early May. It took us more than a week to figure out how the system worked. They were initially resetting the system at 1 am, but then it shifted to 10 am. I spent one night waking up every 2 hours to refresh my computer and try to get a slot, LOL. There's now an IKEA thread on Reddit where people share tips about the time the system refreshes - it can be different in different locations. Even with the inconvenince of needing a few days to figure out the system, I still think we came out miles ahead of the people who ordered online and are still probably waiting for their stuff.
A couple of the items we wanted went in and out of stock during the time we spent trying to figure out the system, but never for more than a few days.

I tried to get a curbside pickup for a footstool but none available and they didn't deliver. After 3 days of checking suddenly it was available for delivery in August. I had an email last week that it had been 'picked' and they would let me know when it shipped, so far no word about shipping.

Just contacted my credit card to dispute not receiving my order that they really didn't ship. |

Fingers crossed for you!
Reading the posts about delivery difficulties I'm glad my delivery went smoothly, ordered on a Thursday delivered as promised the following Tuesday. Hope your delivery goes well.

wellway glad to hear your delivery went AOK... so that's an option I will consider as it's only $50 for delivery. TFS. What did you order, if you'd like to share- or not?
