If 100 people order the rate would be quite reasonable. Unless of course IKEA starts adding zeros again. :-)Ania Vesennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06267716481843824460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-18869689015645115932010-11-20T12:36:57.217-05:002010-11-20T12:36:57.217-05:00The Star did pick it up.

Ikea is the only company they refuse to pick up orders for).<br /><br />And I see the Toronto Star article. Jordon has certainly created a lot of humour with this. <br /><br />http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/893998--ikea-website-quotes-a-billion-dollars-to-ship-couch-to-iqaluitIn Iqaluitnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-44733121016619988952010-11-19T09:12:31.278-05:002010-11-19T09:12:31.278-05:00Morning has arrived and my memory has cleared. We ...Morning has arrived and my memory has cleared. We DO have the same problem. IKEA either refuses to ship to the NWT or charges ridiculous rates, based on when you call. We got all of our stuff here by having a delivery company pick it up at the Edmonton store. <br /><br />The shipping charges I remember are from the local trucking company, not from IKEA. We've never actually paid the IKEA rates because they were ridiculous. <br /><br />Moral of the story: I am sometimes wrong.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013847036123410760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10757771.post-22486148017417853762010-11-18T23:53:04.944-05:002010-11-18T23:53:04.944-05:00Odd.

Just from my spot here in my blogging chair, I can see two side tables, two lamps, two wall lights, two plastic dressers, a TV stand, two DVD racks, a wall unit, a kitchen table, and six chairs. All from IKEA. I suppose I should count the laminate flooring throughout the house, too, but that was shipped to Yellowknife, not to Inuvik. <br /><br />I never had a sense that their shipping rates to the western arctic were particularly terrible. It must be a Nunavut thing.Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17013847036123410760noreply@blogger.com
