Checkout and delivery via the IKEA Philippines website is now available—at limited capacity that is. The long-awaited brand is testing out their online shop in the Philippines, which means you'll have to keep watching for when that elusive "checkout" button is available. To help you prep, you can take note of this list of shipping prices and pick-up fees.

Earlier in September, the IKEA website was updated with a digital catalogue and price tags in Philippine peso, which permitted users to keep track of the items they want to purchase once delivery is available.

As of Thursday, September 23, users can add furniture and decor to cart. IKEA announced their site's "test-run" on their Facebook page the same day. So while you can add to cart, checking out is at a "limited capacity."

Parcel delivery for Metro Manila starts at P170, good for up to 3 kilos, while truck delivery for bigger items starts at P550. Parcels can be dispatched three days after order while truck delivery items may take up to five days after order.

Prices for parcel delivery can go up to P450 and truck delivery can go up to P2,100 depending on your area.

Best to take note of which floor you're on too. Drop-off on the first or second floor is free but having your parcel transported to higher floors will come with extra fees, depending on how many people it takes to bring it up.

If you prefer checking out online and picking it up yourself, IKEA also lets you collect your items at several locations. Click and collect for Metro Manila starts at P400, while those in Pampanga need to pay up to P900. Pick-up at Cebu is available for P3,200.

Orders for pick-up must be collected within five days of notification. Late pick-up will incur fees per day.

Pandemic restrictions may also affect delivery times.

IKEA is set to open its physical store in the last quarter of 2021 after its online website launch. The big blue box will be home to a warehouse, floors displaying furniture and decor inspo, a restaurant, and a play area for kids.
