Finding stylish yet affordable home décor and furnishings is what most of us strive to do. It's no wonder, then, that the Swedish retailer Ikea is one of the most popular places to find such furnishings at a low cost. The company was founded in 1943, and now has about 458 stores around the world, per Statista. And despite the reasonable prices of their products, they raked in about $226.78 billion from the U.S. alone in 2021.

If you're hoping to soon purchase something from Ikea, whether it's a desk or a floor lamp, it's important to be aware of their shipping and delivery procedures.
