Does IKEA match other stores?

No. IKEA does not match other stores' prices.

If you miss the window

US: If a store won't adjust the price but the item is still inside its return window, you can often return it and buy it again at the lower price. Check the return rules and any restocking fee first, and buy the new one before returning if stock is low.

UK: In the UK, anything bought online, by phone or by post can be cancelled within 14 days of delivery for a full refund, even if nothing is wrong, with another 14 days to send it back (personalised and some sealed items are excluded). So you can often buy it again at the lower price and return the first. For shop purchases, a refund for a change of mind depends on the store's own returns policy.

Credit card price protection

US: Most big card issuers dropped price protection between 2018 and 2020. Capital One still offers it on its Discover-network Venture, Savor and Quicksilver cards (120 days, up to $250 an item), and a few others, like some Wells Fargo Visa Signature cards, still do. Your card's Guide to Benefits is the final word.

UK: Check your own card's terms for any price protection before relying on it.
