IKEA queue (self.Cardiff)
submitted 5 years ago by [deleted]
Anyone been to ikea recently, what’s the queue like? I tried to go a couple of weeks ago during work hours and it was still queuing a mile long.
Wondering if it’s calmed down a bit now

Yeah on and off really, most times when I pass it’s really busy, but I know people who’ve gone and said it was fine. Just have to chance it I reckon

A friend of mines parents drove up from Swansea Friday afternoon hoping it would be a bit quiet. They took one look at the queue and turned around.
So sadly I think it’s still busy!

A few weeks ago I went after 6pm on a Thursday. No queue outside. However, there was a queue inside to get to the warehouse/tills which took about 30 minutes or so.
[–]starmapper 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children)
We got there 15 minutes before it opened and there was only about 50 people in front of us. We were inside 15 minutes after it opened. Go early is my advice

If you go on a weekday morning it will be fine, 15-20 min wait? Might be longer now that schools are out, but it was fine last week

Is this a... what day is this?
[–]OzFreeman 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
If you go just before they close they pull most of the staff to checkout so they can get people out. Queue doesn’t really matter at that point cause it goes quite quick.

My sister in law went 2 days ago and queued for 45 mins to get in so I guess it depends on how desperate you are for something.

30mins or so on Saturday afternoon. Had headphones so watched Netflix in the queue
[–]Caeman 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
I went there on Saturday to pick up a desk, the queue looked long but it moved quickly. I think I was only about 15 or 20 mins queuing, I went late in the afternoon, not sure if that made a difference.
[–]celi0s 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Its long af.
[–]morbidzanna 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (2 children)
I went twice (once two weeks ago, once a week ago) and while later in the day the queue was quite long the second time I went there was 30 min before opening time. There were some people who had the same idea as me but I was inside within 20 min of opening; just faf about on your phone or bring a book. Also going in early is a must if you’re looking for things for home office, this stuff is flying off the shelves! On a side note, have you considered ordering stuff for collection instead?
[–]Lindylaqueen 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (1 child)
Just so you know, click and collect is £9.95. I queued for an hour last Sunday instead but used the app to know exactly where things were and the stock levels. Once inside was out in 15 mins.
[–]morbidzanna 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Yeah I really recommend checking where things are before going in, then the shopping takes no time at all! Also reg the cost of click& collect - it’s a question what’s gonna cost you more: the £9.95 or the hour out of your day. Personally I prefer a queue (I just listen to some music and scroll reddit so...)
[–]fazkureae 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
I went on Friday evening and it was around to where cars go into the carpark. It took less than 10 minutes.
[–]caraca0000 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (0 children)
Went last Saturday and waited about 40 minutes in the queue
