I must be living under a rock. Either that or this has been around for yonks and I've only just discovered it now, but if, you're like me, and bought something from Ikea only to find a screw or Allen key missing, or a bracket is badly warped, instead of driving all the way back to Ikea, you can just order a free replacement online!

Find and order screws, cam locks, dowels and more for BILLY, HEMNES, POÄNG, MALM and other IKEA products. Estimated delivery is 2-4 weeks from when the spare parts order was placed. Customers may experience delays with delivery.

Another great service by Ikea. I thought it should be posted to let others know about it. If it doesn't belong here please move to the forums.

Enjoy!

    Yeah this is great, I've even used it when buying something second hand and it's missing some screws, it takes a few weeks to come though so if IKEA is close by you may be better off heading in store.

    • wintersnow911 on 26/02/2023 - 20:20

      I didn't know that!

    • diddy50 on 26/02/2023 - 20:20

      I clocked it at 3 weeks for one set of keys, and 4 weeks for some shelf clips. different packages.
      Ikea has many spare bits in store, if you cant wait. A wall of spare bits at Richmond I've seen

    • jjj123 on 01/03/2023 - 17:06

      free delivery?

      • Averell on 13/03/2023 - 22:41

        yes, free delivery, from Germany.
        I visited a store 4km away from my home, asking for 6 spare screws. They didn't have them in stock, so they created an online order for me.
        about 3-4 weeks later I got a parcel, sent from Germany (the country in Europe, not any suburb in Australia), with exactly 6 screws.

    • jellykingdom on 25/08/2024 - 08:31

      Ditto

    Yeah it's been there since forever. This one actually sends parts from overseas. Or you can get these in person on the spot no questions asked.

    Like the above comment said, great for 2nd hand items.

    • Averell on 13/03/2023 - 22:45

      one issue is knowing whether some small thing is a spare part. I got some screws and inserted nuts with damaged threads. Went to a store, and they said the screws are spare parts, while the nuts (to be used with those screws) are not.
      I received the screws sent from their warehouse in Germany, but haven't been able to find the nuts. Screw the nuts :(

    There's also usually buckets of spare parts at the service area

      I did once but they gave me the wrong part.

    • truetypezk on 26/02/2023 - 10:20

      Those buckets usually only contain the most common items. You can get others by asking them at the service area too. No proof of purchase or whatsoever needed.

      Why would you bother stealing this stuff when you aren't the intended recipient? Just buy some or go to a tip shop and get a whole assortment for basically free?

    • apoptygma on 26/02/2023 - 12:20

      I agree that is a bit unethical

        How is it stealing when they are giving it away for free?

        • Franc-T on 27/02/2023 - 02:59
          +1

          Because its meant for people who bought ikea stuff and are missing the odd part.

          (profanity) who think this is appropriate behaviour are the reason most companies dont do stuff like this.

          • spaceflight on 27/02/2023 - 08:12

            @Franc-T: And yet it's still not theft.

            Most companies don't do it because they buy in things from other suppliers.

            IKEA controls the manufacturing process and uses the same hardware across all their products so it's much easier for them to offer spares.

            For a store like Harvey Norman to do this they would need countless spares to ensure every possibility from every manufacturer/brand is covered.

    Last time I built a Billy oxberg set I got rightttt to the end only to find I was short 1 metal dowel(?) to prop up shelf. Replacement part was shipped from Europe and took like 4-5 weeks … haha by the time I got it I kind of actually liked having a double tall shelf at bottom :/

      Yeah how did they not know how to use that saying? Have they been living under a rock?

    you can get this for free, you just have to visit the store and let them know the piece you need broke and they'll provide a free replacement

    I discovered this accidentally when a plastic piece of a furniture broke.

    Was very upset about the amount of rubbish I was about to generate, but then very pleased when I found out about the service, even more when I found out it was free, and 3x more when the correct parts actually arrived 😁

  • limucat on 26/02/2023 - 10:20

    Great reminder OP! Thx. It takes a long time to get it in the post though

  • umoddbro on 26/02/2023 - 10:24

    Been available for a while now. If you need the parts asap better to go in store. I believe the parts are posted from Germany or Sweden so it'll take a long time to arrive.

  • e4c5 on 26/02/2023 - 10:29

    Better get it fast before Broden finds out

    Now the word has spread, it won't be long that it's restricted or paid soon due to misuse by scalpers.

    • [Deactivated] on 26/02/2023 - 11:22

      People are going to start buying furniture sets to scalp an extra pair of ikea screws?

      • SuperLate on 26/02/2023 - 12:14

        Can get spares even without buying furniture from IKEA. Can order or pick up spares without providing details of previous order.

    Didn't know there was a dedicated page for this. I've usually emailed support and they sent missing stuff over for free. Larger damaged parts like wooden panels needed photo evidence and got sent out for free as well.

        Yeah, it's a brilliant marketing ploy:

        1. Offer free "replacement" parts upon pickup at the store;
        2. Take a screw out of x% of sold products; and
        3. Boost sales 1000%, all the while pretending to be the good guy, the generous company that cares about customers, etc, etc.
  • khesanh on 27/02/2023 - 13:38

    In-store they gave me 12 legs for a couch (VIMLE) because I bought another module to expand it, but all the legs on the original were 2cm shorter than the new legs. It was during COVID and they didn't take cash donations but instead asked for $5 on card which I was happy to pay. I've got some other parts like bolts and such for free online though.

  • NoDowt on 28/02/2023 - 21:48

    Handy… each time I’m at ikea (not often) I check their spare bins for the feet for the Kallax but they never have them.

    • Elision on 02/03/2023 - 22:20

      Just fyi, they have 100 times the amount of spare parts available than what is at the spare part bins, it's just a small sample of popular parts. You just have to ask at the returns and exchanges counter!

    • Sweet3st on 13/03/2023 - 23:01

      Do they still have the castors for Kallax?

      • NoDowt on 14/03/2023 - 11:38

        The little plastic disks? Or do you want wheels?
