Anyone going to Ikea?????????

Hi

I know its a long shot but we got Joel a bed from Ikea at the weekend and I've only just realised we forgot to buy the slats

So if anyone is going in the next couple of weeks that lives near us at Kallangur that wouldn't mind getting the slats it would be very much appreciated.

I live near Ikea, but my car is a bomb and wouldnt get me to Kallanger LOL. I think they will do delivery though - Id call them and see, I mean if delivery is $50 then maybe not worth it. Id tell them that the salesperson should have asked you about slats when buying the bed - the fact that they didnt is poor customer service and who knows they might send you the slats with no delivery fee???

Sorry I couldnt help out!

Hey Jude

We may go to ikea this weekend or the weekend afterwards. But not 100% sure yet. I guess, friday or saturday we will know.

It also depens, if my PIL could look after both boys, which I'm not utterly keen on, especially with Nathan..

But I agree with ImSethsMum, that this is very bad costumer Service. They should have asked you.

Maybe you really can give them a call and ask them about delievery but I guess, because it's from the southside, it prob. gonna cost a fortune.

Otherwise, if it can wait, til the weekend or the next one, then for sure, we can pick that up for you and bring it round.

Hi

That would be great Claudia!

Customer service??? We didn't see anyone. It is mainly my fault they had two item locations for the bed and we went to the first one and there were two boxes so I thought maybe they store it in the bed section and the childrens section?? Didn't twig the slats would be in a different place. I've checked my reciept and they didn't charge us for the slats they are an extra $20..don't know who would buy the bed without the slats?

Delivery is $50 for the first 40km and then $1.50 per km after that..so not worth it for $20 slats. If worst comes to the worst we will have to have another trip down there. Just thought if someone was going it would be great..can't imagine the box would be too big.

Let me know if you end up going and I'll give you the details

When are you putting Joel in a bed?? Are you just waiting for the slats??
If so, you're game!!

We are putting off getting Jayden into a bed.... But Liam was in one by now!!?? Hmmm

Hi

Yes we are just waiting for the slats..and yes we are game. We tried taking off one side of his cot a couple of weeks ago..that lasted a day and a half. Think it was 15 times he raced out. How can you not laugh though when he bursts out his bedroom door with teddy tucked under his arm.how cute.

XX See how the bed goes, may have the cot on standby

We had the same issue with Jason, when we put him into his big bed.

Even now, after over a year, he still comes out.. Some nights are easier some are more difficult.

We had the cot also as standby option but once he figured out, he could actually climb out of there, it was useless. And I guess, Joel knows now pretty good how to do that, did he had a good teacher yesterday

We're going on friday to my PIL and ask them if they could look after the kiddies on Saturday.

I just don't like dropping Nathan off there, MIL just overfeeds him..
Last time we went to Ikea and left the kids there, Nathan had 4! Bottles in 3 hrs... (normally he has one within 3 to 4 hrs) and of course, he threw up afterwards and was sick the entire weekend..

Hi

Yes he did have a very good teacher yesterday but fortunately he isn't quite as nimble as Julie yet.

4 bottles in 3 hours??? Is there something wrong with her??? Maybe just leave her enough formula for 2 bottles then she can't do too much damage. I'm home all weekend...Michelle is working Saturday and Sunday if you feel comfortable leaving Nathan with me? Up to you no worries if you don't feel comfortable.
