From a Leeds retail park to the room it belongs in

The collection end is quick when the paperwork is ready. IKEA Leeds is out at Birstall, about 8 miles south-west of the city centre by the M621, Crown Point Retail Park sits just south of the centre, and warehouse counters at Cross Green have room to load. Each wants the order number, the name on the order and sometimes ID or a note authorising someone else to collect. The van is about 2.5m tall, so it loads at the goods-out door or the kerb, never behind a 2.1m barrier.

The delivery end is where the time goes. In the Harehills and Beeston back-to-backs there is one front door and no rear access, so a wardrobe comes through the front room and up a stair that turns; measure that turn and the landing before buying a built piece. A city-centre flat at Granary Wharf or Leeds Dock means the lift and loading bay booked with the concierge first, and the van is routed round the bus gates on East Parade and Leeds Bridge rather than through them.

Getting a Leeds furniture pick-up right first time

Send the order number, the name on the order and the store's collection instructions
From IKEA Birstall, send the collection reference and the number of packages on the order
Harehills or Beeston back-to-back: with no back door, clear a path through the front room and measure the stair turn
City-centre apartment: book the goods lift and the loading bay with the concierge, and send the slot with the booking
Headingley or Kirkstall address on a test match or rugby league day? The streets round St Michael's Lane fill early, so pick another day if you can
The piece being replaced can go to another room or a second address; it is not taken for disposal

What sets a Leeds furniture delivery price

The size and weight of the pieces, the stairs at the delivery end and how long the collection takes set the price, which is fixed before the van leaves. See how we quote for the full breakdown.

Furniture Delivery in Leeds: your questions

Can you collect something I paid for in a Leeds shop?

Yes. Send the order number and the collection instructions, and check whether the store wants ID or a signed note for a third party collecting. You do not need to be at the shop, only at the delivery end.

Will you build the flat-pack when you deliver it?

No. New flat-pack is carried in boxed and left in the room. Taking apart and rebuilding furniture you already own, such as a bed moving to another room, is included.

What if it will not go up my stairs?

That is why photos of the stair turn are asked for first. If it clearly will not go, you hear before collection. If it is borderline, taking off the feet, doors or a back panel usually gets it through.

Can the old wardrobe go in the van?

Only to another address you name, such as a relative's house. Old furniture is not removed for disposal; Leeds City Council runs a bulky waste collection for that.

Can you deliver to a city-centre flat with the bus gates?

Yes. The van is routed round the camera-enforced gates on East Parade, Bishopgate and Leeds Bridge and stops in a loading bay or the building's own loading area. Leeds has no charging Clean Air Zone, so nothing is added for driving in.
