IKEA establishes collection point in St. John’s

Customers who shop at IKEA.ca can have their orders — regardless of size or value — shipped to Sameday Worldwide on Glencoe Drive in St. John’s for a flat rate of $79. Before the collection points, home delivery for large orders (which is still available) would cost customers $155.

The St. John’s site it one of five established in Atlantic Canada with other locations in New Glasgow and Sydney, Nova Scotia and Charlottetown, PEI, and Fredericton, NB.

“Our ambition is to become more accessible to as many Canadians as possible,” IKEA Canada vice president Liz Wilson stated in a release. “The launch of these five Collection Points is a great way to immediately provide our customers in Atlantic Canada with a more convenient way to shop.”

It’s important to note that the sites are not IKEA locations, but rather third-party service providers.
