Ikea stores are typically located far from city centers, making it a bit of a journey even for those with cars. However, with proper preparation, your visit can be much more efficient and enjoyable. If you're an interior design enthusiast or a furniture lover, here's what you should know before heading to Ikea.
**1. Must-Have: The Ikea Membership Card**
Ikea operates on a membership system. While non-members can shop, they miss out on exclusive member benefits like free coffee and special discounts. It’s best to sign up in advance. You can easily apply online through the official Ikea China website. Simply go to the homepage, click on “Yi Club†in the top right corner, and then select “Join Yi Club†on the left side of the page. Fill in your personal details, including your email address and phone number. Once registered, you’ll receive a confirmation email.
The membership card will be mailed to your address within two weeks, but you don’t need the physical card to enjoy member perks. Just show the membership number (found in the red box) at checkout, and you’re all set. If you’re visiting with someone else, make sure to bring your ID, as staff may ask for it to verify your identity.
**2. Essential Tools: Measuring Tape, Pen, and Notebook**
Once you have your membership sorted, the next step is to prepare some basic tools. A 2-5 meter measuring tape is essential, especially when buying furniture like sofas or beds. Bring a pen and a notebook to jot down measurements, product numbers, and other important details. These small items can save you a lot of time and hassle during your visit.
Also, consider bringing a camera—whether it’s a smartphone or a DSLR. Taking photos of products and their prices can help you compare options later. Plus, Ikea has many creative displays and unique items that are worth capturing for inspiration.
**3. Plan Ahead: Check Store Locations, Hours, and Promotions**
Ikea stores are large and filled with countless products, so it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Before you go, check the store location, business hours, and any ongoing promotions. You can find this information on the Ikea website or through the Furniture Fan platform. Knowing which branch you’re visiting and what’s on sale can make your trip more productive.
**4. Take Advantage of Member Exclusive Deals**
As a member, you’ll have access to exclusive deals and promotions. Visit the “Member Only†section on the Ikea website to see what’s currently on sale. Each product listing includes detailed information such as price, size, and item number. Be sure to note down the item number if you’re interested in a product, as this will help you locate it quickly in-store.
If the product you want isn’t on sale, browse the “All Products†section. Here, you can filter by room type (living room, bedroom, etc.) or product category. Always check the stock status before heading to the store. You can search for the item number directly in the search bar to see if it’s available at your chosen location.
With these tips in mind, your next Ikea trip will be more organized and less stressful. Happy shopping!
