The New Glasgow Collection Point is owned by a third party service provider that is now open Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The New Glasgow Collection Point is located at 543 Coalburn McLellans Brook Rd., which is close to the Trans Canada exit 26 and is already available as a shipping address option for customers.
Customers can shop online at www.IKEA.ca and choose to have their items shipped to the New Glasgow Collection Point for $59, which is a substantial savings over the cost of home delivery.
IKEA Food products are not for sale on www.IKEA.ca and cannot be shipped to a Collection Point.
IKEA says that fee represents a significant savings over the average home delivery fee of approximately $155 and the flat rates will remain the same regardless of the size or value of a customer’s purchase. Home delivery is still available for customers who would like to have goods delivered directly to their home.
The Dartmouth store’s grand opening on Wednesday will begin with the doors opening at 9 a.m. following celebrations.
