Surely a stock check would indicate they have an extra box in the warehouse ?

I thought that as well, unless someone else has only picked up one box as well- and its the other one!

The whole point of ikea is that it's pretty cheap BECAUSE there are hardly any staff

You pay little and think for yourself. Besides, there's so much staff there, that I doubt a member of staff would notice, .

:think: which one is it ? Plenty of staff or NO staff?

It would be nice if they help you out after this mistake, after all, you are hardly going to be trying to con them out of an extra 1/2 a piece of furniture you couldn't use without the first half, are you.

Just playing the Devil's Advocate for a minute...

Person buys furnature (2 boxes).
Person goes home and tries to assemble furnature.
Person makes a complete mess of box 2 assembly and damages item.
Person "loses" receipt.
Person approaches IKEA and claims to have had only box 1 supplied.

Now - I'm not saying this happened - but surely you can see it from Ikeas point of view.

No receipt - no proof of purchase - no proof that they only collected one box.

But we don't know whether the receipt, even if it were available, shows that two boxes were collected, do we?

The OP was asked...

OP, does the receipt indicate how many boxes there should be, or how many were scanned?

in post#3, but chose not to answer.
Possibly because the receipt wasn't available for checking that point.

You could go back to Ikea and see how many of each box they have in stock. If they expect to have 12 in stock, and have 12 of box A and 13 of box B, it backs up your story.

If they don't, you're stuck.

Totally agree. :T

Don't think Ikea would do a stock take just to satisfy a customer enquiry. And even if the OP counted the boxes themselves, who's to say that other people haven't made the same error? (And this goes for either box - there may well be a customer out there with just Box B?)

Oops, I meant "stuff" not "staff" there.
