MyBoxBuyer offers an Ikea buying and delivery service

MyBoxBuyer is a Nova Scotia business offering a buying and delivery service for Atlantic Canadian residents. You place your Ikea order with MyBoxBuyer and save on shipping and get Ikea products not available online. MyBoxBuyer charges a commission on the pre-tax value of your purchase.

The business was started as a necessity by the owners who, renovating their kitchen, decided to make a roadtrip to the nearest Ikea to purchase items not deliverable. When calculating costs they decided to ask friends if they could collect a few more Ikea orders and kick something extra in for shipping, thereby minimizing their cost. And it worked!

Now they're going again. The next trip begins March 5. They can accept orders after the Feb 28 deadline at a 100 percent deposit depending on space for new orders. They recommended you prepare a shopping list on the Ikea website using the Ottawa location, which happens to be a newly renovated monster-sized warehouse store.
