I really miss IKEA
I wanted to buy another bookshelf for Fiona’s room, to match the one that’s already in there. I don’t foresee any upcoming visits to the Twin Cities or Chicago, the 2 IKEA’s that would be closest to us, so I browsed online to see if I can have it shipped here instead.
Here is what came up on the checkout screen:
subtotal: 34.99
shipping & handling: $275.29
order total: $310.28
I’m not making this up. How would anyone make up something like this, because really, it’s so hard to believe!

That is CRAZY! Oh my goodness. What is more crazy is that I am sure some people pay that. Wow.

Geez how much would it cost for me to just send it to you? I am only 20 minutes from an IKEA…..how big is it?
