The service will allow customers to collect their IKEA order for free on orders over £200, or £10 for all other purchases.
Julie Carr, Fulfilment and Multichannel Network Manager, IKEA UK & Ireland, says: “We are proud to be collaborating with Tesco to test-and-trial more convenient, accessible, and affordable collection services in the UK across a number of key locations.
“This collaboration recognises that in an ever-changing retail environment, there is an opportunity to work together to bring IKEA closer to the many people.”

How does it work?
When placing an order online, customers will go through the usual checkout option and select the Collect Near You service for their local Tesco.
Following IKEA click and collect signage within the Tesco car parks, customers will arrive at a designated Collect Near You pick-up point at their chosen date and time, and meet with a delivery driver and vehicle who will hand their order over to them.
