Display Cases - How to Get Them Home
 

I'm thinking of buying a few Ikea Detolfs but my car is too small to fit the shelves. I'm not exactly keen on paying $100 either to ship them home. Any suggestions on display cases and how you got them home?

Borrow a friends suv/truck or ask them for help or rent one of those home depot $20/hour vans.

Make an order big enough to justify the delivery. 6 Billy bookcases with glass doors and 6 detolfs should work ;)

What are you driving? I bought my first detolfs with a chevy aveo hatchback

A Toyota Corolla that does not have back seats that cannot be folded down.

+1. Surely you must know at least 1 person with a larger vehicle than yours?

But I don't imagine one or 2 Detolf's being that difficult to squeeze in whatever it is that you drive. Once upon a time, I managed to fit in an entire door into my 95 MX-3 that I took back to my apartment from home depot. Fold down the back seats and fold the front passenger seat down as far as it will go and you should manage it even if it goes in at an angle.

The problem is my back seat cannot fold down. It was an oversight when I bought the car years ago. Plus all of us are cheapskates who live in the city and bought really small cars on the cheap :D. The presence of child seats for most of us makes it a complete hassle to empty cars of kids stuff in prep for moving...

if the ikea is close call a cab, ask for a van.

Oh yeah my gf had one of these, we only noticed the backseat could not be folded at the ikea to buy a bedroom kit. I went to the nearby walmart and bought a cheap ratchet set and took it apart instead of driving 2h30 to come back with my car.
