IKEA (U.S.) return windows

When the clock starts
IKEA counts from your purchase. Returns can’t be made at Planning Studios or Pick Up Points.
Receipts and lookups
Opened items need proof of purchase. For an in-store exchange, bring a photo ID, the receipt or order confirmation, and the card you paid with.
Don’t lose the window
Opening the box shortens your window by half. Assemble within six months or keep it sealed.
Let the receipt remind you
Snap or share your IKEA (U.S.) receipt into Hey Bungee. It reads the store, the total and the return date, and comes back a few days before the window closes. Free, on your iPhone, no account.
