[@lorikeller3296]

The Melea Show I would love to see organizing ideas with IKEA products

[@coolcatcarolena4951]

The Melea Show Yes, please. I'm a big fan of Ikea but it's sensory overload. Since I live in a van I find useful storage solutions that I will share with my viewers. Thank you for making this video.

[@zvang0002]

The Melea Show Melea, where do you live? OMG, i was at Ikea too and i swear i thought i saw you and here you are uploading this video. I love you and would be devastated if i walked right by you without even deeply noticing. ,😑😣🤔😔

[@jenhegvet6599]

[@shelleymeyers9119]

I re-did my kitchen 3 years ago. No one else had white kitchens that had a 25 year guarantee. They look like I just got them. Very important - they told me if I bought the kitchen after joining the IKEA Family and the cabinets went on sale, with the Family Card and the receipt they would refund me 20 percent! They told me that the next large kitchen sale would be within the 3 months. I got back over Nine Hundred Dollars! The next year they told me they were discontinuing this style, but not to worry as they put aside enough of the product to be able to replace any doors, hardware, all parts to cover everyones' 25 year warranty! Who does that? No one else would guarantee that the white canines would not discolor, especially by the stove. I got my appliances elsewhere do to size requirements in my kitchen. I still don't cook a lot, but every day I smile when I enter my apartment size kitchen. More hacks please. I just subbed!

[@GeekyGarden]

Yep. We also returned a bunch of stuff for our kitchen, got gift cards as a refund, bought more parts for the kitchen ... and they gave us 15% off on that! So we essentially stacked the discount.

[@amysmith6299]

If you're missing parts from any IKEA product (like hardware) you can actually get them free at the customer service desk. Not sure if they have all parts but be prepared with part number from the instruction manual. We've done it before for bunk bed pieces! More IKEA is excellent especially cheap fashionable finds and how your incorporate them (that's what I expected by the title but this was great as well)

[@lakesick_bench]

as an Ikea addict I would like to say THANK YOU for making this! it was awesome!

[@majingamer6109]

You should think of joining our group IAA. Ikea Addicts Anonymous

[@DrAdrienneCSmith]

This was EXTREMELY helpful. I will sign up for membership when I am at the store tomorrow.

[@TheMeleaShow]

YAY!

[@calebplaysmc7840]

_*same I love Ikea ( well who doesn’t) *_

[@essiej666]

Cashier at Ikea here, make sure you always bring your Ikea family card, we can't look it up by phone number. And that text thing doesnt always work. Also in your birthday month you get a 15$ off any purchases coupon if you are a family member (even if you just spend 15$) but you have to show proof (ID). For a easy trip to ikea don't go saturday afternoons (or sunday or vacations), or you will be hugely overwhelmed. Don't forget to check if you have all your boxes if you buy furniture, if it has a big yellow number and next to that it says (1/2) you will need a number 2 box (2/2) for your item to be complete. Bring your own bag or buy one from us for 99 cent (they are super big) but we do not give out free plastic bags.

[@banananutbreadable]

I'd love videos on affordable home decor and organization using IKEA items! One for organization in a small kitchen would be great. I only have one cupboard, but plenty of wall space, for instance.

[@CharoBorboa]

IKEA is a fund store to browse around in. However, if you have a shopping list then this is a great video to follow. We had a hard time and spent an entire day looking for all of our shopping list. It was exhausting. We didn’t give up because we drove 3.5 hours and we found almost everything. Only a few items were sold out. By the end of the night we were expert on navigating the store but it did take all day to learn mind you we didn’t watch this video before going to shop. In retrospect I would have loved to have seen this video before our shopping trip. It would have saved us so much time.

[@peggyjohnson1848]

Yes! Please do more Ikea videos! I think you're great.

[@DianaHernandez-kn1ne]

Wow, I have never been in an Ikea store. I've wanted to go but figured they were too expensive. this video was great. I will have to take a trip to my Ikea and check them out. tfs

[@abdullahradhi3420]

Xanxei so expensive

[@TheBklynMe]

This was so very helpful. I'm subscribing based on this video alone. Thank you. You are a frugal goddess!

[@ashleighmeyer1669]

Absolutely love your blog and ideas. Thank you for all the money saving tips $

[@debraholster4915]

I love Ikea too, and already knew most of your tips. My favorite tip is to prepare my shopping list on their website before I go, and print it by where the item is located in the self service warehouse. Saves a ton of time if you already know what you want!

[@Therichest]

Watch "15 Times IKEA Went A Little Too Far!" kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXXCiZWNbbucedk

[@official_khxns4]

Shush

[@tracyscott2887]

LOVE THIS THANK YOU MELEA!! Ive been shopping at Ikea for over 23 years and even i didn't know this!

[@juiicy951]

Absolutely loved it! More IKEA videos please!

[@noahcliff3708]

In our local Ikea, they fill shelves with random Swedish books. My sister and I sat in one of the fake lounges and started reading the books aloud and to our surprise, people started gathering around listening ... the one issue is we speak (and read) no Swedish and were just making it up. Nonetheless the pressure of the growing crowd meant we kept reading until our parents called us away.

[@TheNmg101]

This was awesome, thank you. So much great information!

[@ibeleevinfairies]

Yes please, more Ikea videos. Great info as always. Thank you!

[@yvetteyasui]

Yes more ikea vids please. I get so lost and overwhelmed when I go to ikea!

[@carolinel.7804]

Wow, non-Swedish IKEA stores are so much better than ours.

[@user-vr7vt6sr1h]

true...

[@tsf3987]

Bror på.

[@minelise406]

You never get an extra 25% off in the 'as-is' section in Denmark. We don't have 'wacky wednesday's' or anything similar in Denmark either.

[@CandyFloss162010]

Nah this is better than the IKEA in the U.K. either

[@Argantonis]

Worst of all. No shortcut doors on this side of the pond.

[@Ashmeri4]

Bed bath and beyond actually has a return policy of up to 2 years even if the item has been used and you don't have a receipt! As long as they can find your card in the system they'll do it, even a pillow that has no packaging that you used for a year. Often they can only do store credit if it's too long but hey that's something!

[@TheMeleaShow]

Awesome, thanks for sharing!

[@zvezdapadalica15]

Ashley Erickson very true! I bought a massager recently and when I asked for return policy they told me it's basically unlimited, up to two years! 👍🏼awesome!!

[@nisreen1982]

I think IKEA return policy differs from store to store. My IKEA return policy just allow up to 90 days and items should not be used. I even checked about it with costumer serves there.

[@lisamiddleton3475]

Ashley Erickson Macy's will return anything now no matter how long if you can show proof of purchase.

[@tyrroo]

Costco has a 365-day return policy

[@KaylieHubbard]

I was watching this video because I'm interested in IKEA stuff..... I live in Texas currently and don't have a store near me buuuttttt.....I'm moving to Utah and saw there was an IKEA within a reasonable driving distance. I didn't know you lived in Utah so when you said Draper I was completely blown away. Super excited!!!

[@SheliseLowe]

This may be the most helpful video you've ever posted! Thank you! I love IKEA and this just makes it better!

[@kayleeh3526]

I would like to see more IKEA Hacks but also some home decor things you have done. Thank you so much.

[@amoureuxdelamusiq1]

I've never been to Ikea but I'm planning on going soon so thanks for the video.

[@TheMarissal]

I just watched the Costco video, then this one and I LOVE the pace of this video- quick and to the point. Nice work

[@sligerlife7704]

I super love Ikea and didn't know about a ton of these tips!

[@MissVasques]

Good tips! I’d like to add For those from Sweden, if you own a smartphone you can download the app Skipp and there have your card ready to be scanned. Perfect if you are in self-check-out and realise you forgot the card at home and won’t need help from a employee to make you club purchase. Skipp is for other membership Cards as Well such as Stadium, Lindex, Shell, Preem etc.

[@user-yl4cc5ed1t]

girl. I can't BELIEVE how much you look like Cece Drake from pretty little liars!!!

[@geewiz8253]

You should have millions of views. Very well put together and informative video! 👏

[@toocoolforschools4529]

[@lesleymedina7140]

Wow! This was really helpful 💞

[@denaruiz3454]

Just liked and subscribed!! I'd love to see more Ikea vids!👍

[@silvafam4624]

I love all the tips when it comes to the price tags hacks!

[@LindaEaves]

Very helpful! I'm moving into an apartment in March and I have zero living room furniture. I'm an IKEA family member but thanks for explaining all the sign color coding. And the as is kiosk. I need to make arrangements for future delivery but am presuming I can do that at the register. Thank you. So good!

[@CallieMasters5000]

Come on, you didn't mention the best hack of all at IKEA!!! Free food for newspapers!! If you bring in a certain amount of newspapers for recycling, IKEA will give you a free meal. Double check with your store. In some places it's measured by the weight, but last time I checked in the USA it was measured by stacking the papers flat until they were at least a certain number of inches high (like a bundle of 8-12 inches). This is a lot of paper, but not hard to do if you're a subscriber and let it pile up. I think they use the paper for wrapping fragile items and recycling. Call your local store in advance so you haul enough newspaper to feed the whole family. (Sometimes they give free meals once you spend a certain amount, so check that out too.) IT'S FREE!!

[@TheMeleaShow]

That's great! I don't think our location does that. So I didn't even know about it!

[@2babe6]

Oh my god this video helped me so much u answered all my questions thank u ❤️

[@susiesophia4262]

This is great! Thank you for all these tips!

[@teresaaskew5003]

Yes, please do more IKEA videos.

[@wbmsic]

re: tip #20. If you head over the the customer service area, they actually have the most common hardware pieces free for the taking.

[@eanevvenae5792]

OMG this really is the complete guide to IKEA !!! I have been there once and it was so intimidating that I haven't shopped in store for my items since. Now I feel totally excited to go check it out! Thank you 😊

[@ltellis63]

[@tomeng9520]

Fun fact : Ingvar Feodor Kamprad was born on 30 March 1926, on a small farm called Elmtaryd near the village of Agunnaryd = IKEA.

[@johnharvey4496]

Here in Australia, things are a bit different with Ikea. For starters, Ikea prices are some of the highest in the world (despite our proximity to China, where from, much of this stuff comes). This year's price saw a typical $270 cabinet jump to $335 (+25%). I've been planning my kitchen for 3 years, so I notice these things. Another thing here: Ikea stopped with the annual kitchen discount sales a few years ago. Home improvement has been big in this country for the past 10 years; Ikea has probably decided to cash in when shoppers are going to buy anyway (there are competitors here who are also cashing in). Another observation - the family card is little more than a data miner. You're always asked you to scan your card at checkout - I ask then: "Do I get a discount?"... ..."no, but it's better for warranty and in case you lose your receipt". Yes, you can save a bit more with the family card, but here, only on limited items and it's no a big discount. All that said, Ikea products are well thought out and often the best value furnishing solution.

[@maggieleroy3184]

Great video! Thanks and yes do some more on IKEA!

[@angelbutterfly2801]

so helpful, I hd no idea about scanning my card before i shopped, or the last chance items. the moving thing is going to be so helpful as im due to move house and i want to go to ikea to help kit it out

[@kimberlys43]

Thanks! I've been planning my first trip to Ikea but I've been a bit skeptical as first it's quite a drive and second I've heard it can be very overwhelming. So this definitely helps to show me first some of what the layout is and of course what to look for while I'm there😊👍🏻

[@janettelilley9074]

I love Ikea, but they are far away and lots of traffic to get there. But I love going when time permits!

[@larisaelder5673]

I loved all the tips. Very helpful. I'm super not impressed with the qualify of dressers, cabinets, etc. But I love the dishes, bedding, etc they offer. Please do more videos of Ikea!

[@DorianParpari]

l love Ikea. I printed my list made up from the site and handed it to a sales rep and they brought all the items I needed to check out when I planned my last move.

[@mapa3ful]

Yes more IKEA videos! Like decorating using IKEA! Love d this thank you!

[@Amanda-bj4dg]

[@jillhuber7971]

Yes please do more IKEA videos! I've only been a few times and I still feel lost in that store.

[@archanavl]

I just loved watching this video! Too much of tips & hacks! I had been to ikea lot of times but I never knew many of these tips before. I absolutely love to watch similar videos & I also love that video of amazon! U rock! On the whole this is the Channel a person who comes new to USA needs to stop by for shopping in store or online! I luv it!$

[@erikaontiveros7876]

I love IKEA! So please and thank you for more IKEA videos.

[@morganelcz]

To always have your Ikea card on you can't you also download the Ikea app? In France it works, you just have to enter your account and you have your card on your phone. 😊

[@KarentheWriter]

I had no idea about most of these amazing offers at Ikea. I am excited about the $100 store sweepstakes, the family discounts, the Breathtaking offers, and the return deals. Free beverages, day care, etc. Holy cow! the only thing I don't like about Ikea is their customer service, but the rest of the things are great! $

[@triciamoran3484]

I wish I would have watched this video before I went to IKEA in Round Rock, Tx with my sister n law. I took notes for the next time I go. Thank you for all the tips.

[@jacklynquin5779]

[@AnaKJ808]

Wow!!! All I have to say is I wish I saw this before I went into the store for my First time today!!! lol I felt like I was in a maze and losing! Bahahaha Also racing against the clock lol I got there at 6:20pm & I didn’t get out until 8:45pm. But I absolutely Love how I get see, touch and feel everything!!! I was able to find that many items I put on my list isn’t going to work for my family. Next time I will definitely be more prepared and feel more confident shopping here. Funny thing is immediately after I checked out I came on here and searched “how to shop at IKEA” and I could just kick myself after finding your video and some others!!! Oh well! Ya live and ya learn! Lol Thanks for the video! Can’t wait to go back!!!

[@maseyeyre1522]

it's good to know about the wacky Wednesdays I did not know that about the draper store. thanks!

[@gum115]

Thank you. Signed up online, got the card at the store along with my free coffee. Found some good deals in the IKEA familly section of the store and used your tip on finding the good price with the yellow and red signs.

Went to my first IKEA store and it's awesome. We don't have one in Arkansas so had to go to Memphis and we spent 2 1/2 hours there.
