Please be advised that IKEA or other flat-pack furniture is not suitably packaged for air travel. If you wish to send flat-pack furniture via air cargo, we strongly advise repackaging it to ensure it travels safely. We reserve the right to deny the carriage of goods that are not properly packaged, or will ask customers to sign a waiver indicating that they understand the risk of shipping these goods without sufficient protection.
