Hi,

A bit sad i know, but i was thinking of doing a bit of shopping in Ikea when get to QLD..

just done a bit of price comparison for a few items and the one in Brissie is more expensive than UK...

For example Hemnes Bunk Bed is £200 in Oz and £175 in UK, generally stuff is 10 -15% more....

Someone might find this useful............... probably common sense really.. doing the geography... :rofl:

Funny you should mention IKEA, I was doing exactly the same thing last Saturday but in Dubai. Here a sofa bed is equivelant to AUD 600 in Brisbane it's a staggering AUD 899 and extra 299 why:confused:

Maybe people in Dubai have more money to spend than we do?

I'm sure if there was a IKEA in India / Pakistan etc the prices in IKEA would reflect that. ie supply and demand and market rates

It's the first thing you see when you come out of the Airport!:eek:

So it will be really hard to find when you are trying to get your bearings!!!:rofl: Just head for the airport.

Sorry I don't get your point:confused: I'm saying it is 299 dollars cheaper in Dubai than in OZ.

Wow, did't expect this much feedback from an ikea thread! :D Some useful info though, we were lookin cos it's all under one roof and in stock (mainly) go with an empty truck and come back with your beds etc!! mmm

Will check out the other website that was recommended, anyone for any others.. nice quality, but not too expensive furniture that will last about 4 + years........

Thanks in advance.. x S-j :thumbsup:
