you can order what you want directly on line and ikea will deliver. they deliver right to your apt. the cost is minimal and they take away the boxes!

it is well worth it, and sometimes, delivery is free if what you order from ikea in aubonne is not available from aubonne. so:

look online, then go to aubonne, and order. if it's not available from the shop, they may deliver for free!!

Many thanks! I had contacted Ikea and they said the delivery time would be minimum 3 weeks... :(

I would really like to have my furniture by next week the latest....

hi Shelley,

I had the same problem and I hired Keep Moving: they will pick up all your stuff after you pay at Ikea and deliver it to you immediately. They can also build it if you need. Prices are very fair for Geneva. Their details are in the Guides section. 

Shelley, does one need to be a Mobility.ch member to rent those vans?

Make sure the van comes with some kind of Insurance... a friend of mine got In big trouble(accident) just because she forgot to ask for one.

Man with Van - Ueli Weder - [email protected]

Tel: 078 621 3234

He picked me up from IKEA  - loaded all my furniture into van (double bed & mattress, 2 sofas, table & chairs and at least 5 yellow bags full of crap not on the list :-), drove me back to Lausanne and helped me unload it all (up 2 flights of stairs, bless) for 150CHF.

I looked at all other options (van hire/IKEA delivery (nothing free BTW), Mobility) and he was the best deal.

Let him know in advance what you will be buying so that he can bring the appropriate size van (and a mate if necessary) and he can meet you at IKEA at a time that suits you (if you're coming from Geneva, he'll probably take you there as well).

Really nice guy - Swiss German, speaks perfect English.

Good Luck!

PS: Whilst you're in IKEA, buy their tool kit starter pack - 8CHF - hammer, screwdrivers, alan keys etc - a godsend!

Carolyn, he's the same guy I was suggesting above! (Keep Moving is the name of the company)

Thanks so much Everyone! xx
