Yesterday went to the Ikea in Brooklyn, NY – so apparently if you go to the Ikea location and want to ship (depending how far from the store you are i think – its flat rate $59 to ship as many items as you want.
This is the first i have ever heard of this – its only if you go to the store – if you order on the website and choose shipping it will be much much more expensive.
There were a few items that i had to take with me but it was only about 10% of what i ordered.
For $59 shipping 30 min drive away seems like a great deal to me
