Ikea Kitchen Ordering MistakesThe best advice I can give you when you do place your cabinet order with Ikea is to do it in person! There is no way I would even consider placing an order via fax or through an email. You need to sit down with someone in the Ikea kitchen department and go over your order line by line. You'll want to block out a couple hours minimum to go through the ordering process. Don't take any shortcuts on this here or it will cost you countless headaches and frustration. During the ordering process with the kitchen consultant don't be shy to ask questions and double check every single thing that they type into the computer. This is your one chance to get it right. So ask questions and get answers now...unless you want to delay your project later. Remember, once you've placed your order and it's been shipped from their warehouse, it's too late to change your mind. If you forgot to order cover panels for example, you'll have to go back to the store and go through the process again. Smaller parts "can" get overlooked pretty easily, but the biggest thing you need to get right is ordering the cabinet boxes. Just imagine how frustrating it will be when you're in the middle of the first day of your installation and you discover that you don't have that 30" base cabinet! The bottom line is this - get your information "perfect" before you even think of stepping foot in the Ikea store, and when you get there plan on spending at least 2 hours with a kitchen planner to go over your order to make sure you get it right the first time! **Did you know there are certain times of day that are best to place your order? I won't go into detail here but it's covered in detail inside the Ikea Kitchen Secrets Manual.**
