IKEA Pickup in Charlottetown

Peter Rukavina

IKEA offers a service whereby you can have online order shipped to a central warehouse on PEI, the advantage being that it’s cheaper than having things shipped directly to your door.

We were in Halifax in March, bought a BILLY bookcase, and then realized there was no way to fit it into the car, so we returned it, and had it shipped. 

(Delivery directly to our house would have been $99; shipping to the warehouse was $49.)

BILLY arrived this week.

It turns out that the IKEA warehouse on PEI is located in the Rush Transfer warehouse, on the Mason Road in Stratford. If the number of parcels in the warehouse when I went to pick up our bookcases, any indication, Islanders are ordering a lot of things from IKEA.
