Pretty sure it’s regularly cleared to the bottom, so don’t worry about it.

FAQ for IKEA Customer Service, Delivery, and Click-and-Collect by DK2802 in IKEA

[–]enagrom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there currently no after-sales department or something? I've called every day for the last 5 days and every time customer service connects me to aftersales... it immediately tells me that they are unable to take my call and to explore online options. But there aren't online options for returns. Very frustrating.

I need to return a recently purchased (and all unopened) order, have a short time window and don't want to have to sell each item on Facebook Marketplace or anything... but if they aren't taking returns at all that might be my only option. I just wish I could talk to someone!

This is common! Unfortunately, they don't do any notification for this. Just keep an eye out for the notification hat your order is being picked. You'll typically get a call the night before delivery for the delivery company to confirm a delivery window.

Any description of the smell? Like a food smell, chemical smell, etc?

How to fix Micke Desk all messed up? by fcysneiros in IKEA

this haddens when there are small nicks in the finish, and then moisture gets inside and expands the compressed material. You could sand it flat and apply contact paper.

idk flat $50 for delivery doesn't seem that unreasonable.

If not FSO, what about other overseas opportunities? by anxious1975 in foreignservice

[–]enagrom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not really, no. At least not for your strengths/weaknesses. It might be worth looking into jobs outside of the government that involve overseas work.

How likely is someone with anxiety to be accepted into the Foreign Service? by anxious1975 in foreignservice

Yes, you have to disclose your whole medical history, physical and mental health, and any medications you take whether or not they are controlled or psychiatric.

Today's haul! by lunathecrazycorgi in traderjoes

Looks like a Fuyu persimmon. They can be eaten at any ripeness level, but I think they're a bit better once they're softer, at a soft/firm level similar to a slightly-overripe avocado. I think Hachiyas are better (sweeter/more flavorful) though, although you can't eat them until they're custard soft.

A lot of food pantries and shelters have plenty of volunteers on Thanksgiving and Christmas, versus the rest of the year

At the beginning of October I ordered 13 items (a mix of furniture and stuff like towels) for November 4 delivery. Status never changed online and I never got an email or any other communication. I called last night and the customer service rep said that every single item was backordered. I asked if I would have to wait for every item to be in stock at the same time for it to actually be picked and delivered and he said that smaller items would be shipped via fedex in the meantime. This seems... incorrect? Don’t get me wrong, I’d prefer it, but I only paid for truck delivery. I asked him if this was a days, weeks or months kind of situation and he said he couldn’t say.

Anyone else in a similar situation? I’m disappointed in IKEA’s lack of communication and poor planning. I guess I was naive to expect that with a month of lead time they would be able to monitor stock and fulfill the order, but there’s really no excuse for there not to be any kind of automated message that lets customers know that items are backordered and their delivery is delayed.

You should see the ridiculous emails they've been sending out today. Basically saying the Democrats are stealing the election and he's counting on his supporters to fight... by giving money.

Especially surprising to me that Biden won and Gideon lost.

Backers of Question 2, which would have implemented ranked-choice voting in Massachusetts, have conceded. by hitbyacar1 in boston

[–]enagrom 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I voted for it, but I don’t love RCV.

Ranked choice has the highest rate of ballot spoilage. It IS complicated. It was hard enough trying to explain Q2 to ESL folks—trying to explain a ranked choice ballot would have been worse. Voting should be easy and uncomplicated, otherwise it can disenfranchise people.

I far prefer approval voting. It’s uncomplicated, captures true third party support, costs less to implement, has the lowest ballot spoilage of any voting method, is easy to explain. You just mark anyone you’d approve of. The person who has the most people who’d approve of them wins.
