Furniture Delivery in Birstall

Collecting an IKEA order at Birstall and getting it indoors

The store handles the order and the van handles the carry. Pay for the goods, choose collection, and send the order number and pick-up point. The driver collects against your reference and loads the flat-pack on the van floor, heavy boxes at the bottom and glass or mirror panels upright against the side, strapped. With 3.4 metres of load length, even long wardrobe boxes lie flat rather than propped at an angle.

At home, the boxes go into the room they are meant for, not the hallway, which matters when one wardrobe side panel weighs more than you want to carry upstairs alone. In a terrace off Kirkgate that can mean a trolley run from the nearest space and a narrow stair; on the Nova or Fieldhead estates the van is more likely to be at the kerb outside. Building new furniture is left to you or a fitter. If the job is an existing piece moving between two homes, beds and existing flat-pack are taken apart at one end and put back together at the other.

Planning a flat-pack or furniture drop in Birstall

• Holden Ing Way and the junction 27 approach roads queue at weekends, so a weekday collection from IKEA leaves more of the slot for the carry at home
• Check the store's collection hours and when the order will be ready before fixing a time
• Around Kirkgate and the market place there are no residents' bays, so a long box is carried from the nearest safe space; say if your street is full by day
• A Thursday delivery near the market place competes with the market for the central space, so another day is easier
• On the post-war estates at Nova, Fieldhead and Howden Clough, or the newer semis towards Birkenshaw, say if there is a drive, as the van can then stop almost at the door
• A second item from another store or a private seller can join the same run for one combined fixed price
