The Milton Keynes Money Savers Thread

They do offer a delivery service, with an increasing cost depending on the distance from the store (most stores have a set limit for delivery). At the CS desk there should be a map with coloured bands which relate to the delivery costs. As the MK store's not open I can't tell you what the price bands are and how far they stretch.

From memory of my time in Bristol their delivery extended up to postcodes within a 50mile radius of the store.

From the website:
"Most IKEA products are flat-packed, making them easy to transport. The IKEA store offers a home delivery service if you prefer. Home delivery is not included in the product price."

As I'm moving to a flat, I'm definitely going for the delivery service... don't fancy lugging my purchases up a couple of flights of stairs!!

Can anyone suggest a decent mobile hairdresser?? I'm in urgent need of my rats tails lopping, and can't get my usual hairdresser to help out...

Suggestions of a reasonably priced mobile hairdresser, or salon (if push comes to shove!) would be much appreciated...

Ikea catalogues have been distributed through the letterbox. One week till grand opening.

Whereabouts do you live? I haven't had mine....
(not that it matters as I already have one from my last trip to the Outlaws in Bristol )

No details of opening offers, I assume... I wonder if they're not publicising them after Edmonton? All I want to know is if the sofas I want will be on offer!!!

I haven't had a catalogue!

The catalogue is a general one for all of their stores; however, there is a list of customer service telephone numbers and the one for Milton-Keynes is listed as: 0845 355 2185
Maybe they will have one sent out to you if you call and ask?

Thanks Darbooka, but I've already got the ordinary one , I just thought I might be missing out on special offers or something .

Just come back from some shopping and the they have the MP3 player mentioned in other threads - just at the bottom of the new escalator thingy.

Yes, I got one earlier from Kingston - loads of them left. I think I might have to stock up on the old battery front though! :rudolf:

Information on the MK IKEA store will be posted here:
http://www.ikea.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/IkeaNearYouView?storeId=7&langId=-20&catalogId=10103&StoreName=milton_keynes

Reportedly there will be some three weeks worth of 'events'.

The TV ad is here: http://www.ikea-milton-keynes.co.uk/?tvad
It claims 'no opening offers'. That's an interesting way to advertise a new store.
