How Much Is Delivery from IKEA?
A complete breakdown of IKEA UK delivery charges for small parcels, large furniture, and express options.
IKEA delivery costs overview
IKEA offers several delivery options depending on the size and weight of your order. Smaller items that can be handled by a parcel courier are charged at one rate, while larger furniture and kitchen items that need a truck delivery have a separate, higher fee.
Quick answer
IKEA delivery starts from around £3.95 for small parcels and £39 for large furniture items. The exact cost depends on the size and weight of your order and your delivery postcode. Click and collect from your nearest IKEA store is the cheapest option if you have a vehicle that fits the items. Express delivery is available in some areas for an additional premium.
Small parcel delivery
Items like cushions, textiles, kitchenware, storage boxes, and smaller home accessories are delivered by a parcel courier service. These arrive in standard packaging and are typically left at your door or with a neighbour.
Small parcel delivery usually takes 2-5 working days. The fee starts from around £3.95 and may increase slightly for heavier or bulkier parcels. If your order contains both small and large items, IKEA may split the delivery into two separate shipments.
Large item and furniture delivery
Furniture, mattresses, wardrobes, desks, and other bulky items require a truck delivery service. This costs from around £39 and is handled by IKEA's own logistics or a dedicated furniture delivery partner.
Standard IKEA large item delivery brings items to the first dry room of your home, typically the hallway. They do not carry items upstairs or to a specific room unless you pay for an additional service.
Assembly is a separate paid service. IKEA offers a TaskRabbit assembly service that you can book at checkout, but it is not included in the delivery charge.
For truck deliveries, IKEA gives you a delivery date and a time window (usually 4 hours). You will receive text or email updates on the day of delivery with a narrower estimated arrival time.

Same-day delivery may be available in areas close to an IKEA store or distribution centre, though this is currently limited to certain postcodes and product ranges.
