stanski Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Left the house 11:30 got to Ikea Leeds 12:20 15 mins trying to find somewhere to park. foolishly thought they stack the warehouses in the same locations for their stock ... Oh no .. Couldnt ask at the customer desk as the entire population of Leeds had decided to ... So walked in to the rabbit run got to the section I wanted eventually to find what I needed. Tried to fight my way back to the entrance then in the back way to the self service warehouse bit - the entire population of Bradford by now had turned up! Found my stuff just 2 boxes left even though Ikea Ashton had told us they had 60!! Get to tills 10mins while they faff about go to lift at carpark to go down 1 level eventually the lift arrives 3 of us get in with our trolleys after a while this guy turns to me and with a scared voice says "I have just seen Hell!!!" couldnt agree more poor sod probably his first visit? Stew you have been warned stay an Ikea Virgin save yourself!! You have all been warned stay away ....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new shopping centre opened in Aberdeen the other day. Reports I've heard I won't be visiting for a while..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 350Z Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 this guy turns to me and with a scared voice says "I have just seen Hell!!!" Weekend shopping is definitely a 'no go area'. Das missus and I went to the Metro Centre in Newcastle yesterday. There was just a sea of people everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Sounds amazingly like the experience Amanda and I had in Ikea trying to do a simple thing like buy a chest of drawers! Their stock management system is shocking and in the end we were grateful just to come away alive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
