Shern and I had a day off on Tuesday, so we decided to go to Ikea to buy some furniture. We wrote down all the items we want and off we went. It’s in Edmonton, so we took a tube and a bus. When we got there, we feel so at home! It’s exactly the same design (duh!) We started off with the big items, cupboards, shelves etc…Wrote down the number, and look for some more.
We took a lunch break, and it was delicious! Well, not the fish and chips though. We continued on to the smaller items. We took what we wanted and moved on to taking the furniture boxes. Boy, that was really heavy. We took everything we need, and off we went to pay. Everything was quite smooth, till we hit the home delivery.
The delivery is only available on the next day, which is great right? NO!!! If you want it immediately, then yes, for us, no. We needed it to be delivered on another day, and they said they can’t. They do not have the storage to put it in. Solution??? REFUND!!!! We have to return everything we bought! We spent the whole day looking for furniture, taking it off from the shelves, and now we have to RETURN everything!!! I so Miss Malaysia!!!!
We were so reluctant but we had no choice. By the time we finished everything it was 5:30pm. We took a bus, 192, and it went to the wrong direction! We quickly made the next exit, and was finding another bus stop. We walked for abt 8 mins, and just couldn’t find a bus stop. Luckily a passer by told us the bus stop was where there were one lady standing over the other side. We looked at it, and there was no bus stop! So we waited with the lady, and 10 mins later, a bus came =.= It is what they called hail and ride section, means you can stop the bus anytime. =.=
What a day!!!!!
p/s: Shern wants to boycott Ikea for not being flexible. :p
