IKEA has launched a new mobile pick-up point service at Tesco in Ballinasloe for people in Galway to collect their furniture orders.
The service, launching today, is one of six pick up points around the country IKEA is creating in partnership with Tesco Ireland.
The collection allows customers to pick-up their IKEA orders for free if the order is over €200, while orders under €200 will cost €15.
Customers will be able to pick-up their IKEA order from a designated area within their local Tesco car park.
Martyn Allan, IKEA Market Manager in Ireland, said, “Collaborating with Tesco Ireland to test-and-trial convenient, accessible, and affordable collection services across key locations in Ireland is a real source of pride for us.”
“We’re also delighted to finally be able to provide a free delivery option for customers for orders over €200. This partnership acknowledges the dynamic nature of the retail industry and provides an opportunity to bring IKEA closer to more people.”
This rollout of six permanent collection points follows a pilot run of three locations in Cork, Louth, and Kildare, which opened in May.
When placing an order online, customers will go through the usual checkout option and select the collection service for their local Tesco.
Following signage within the Tesco carparks, customers will arrive at a designated pick-up point at their chosen date and time and meet with a delivery driver who will hand their order over to them.
Arlene Maguire, Head of Property Acquisitions and Asset Management, Tesco Ireland said, “We’re pleased to expand our partnership with IKEA Ireland to introduce new pick-up points in more of our car parks across the country.”
“Some months into this partnership, we are seeing just how convenient this offering is for customers, who are pairing picking up their IKEA order with doing their weekly shop or picking up their Click + Collect order.”
