Buying furniture from IKEA Badalona is easy. Getting it to your flat — and up to your floor — is the part that trips people up. IKEA's own home delivery service will bring items to the door of your building. It will not carry them upstairs.
If you live above the ground floor without a suitable lift, you need a separate carry-up service. If your lift is too small for a flat-pack PAX wardrobe (most original Eixample lifts are, at 60cm cage width), you need someone who knows how to manage the staircase.

There's a Second IKEA: L'Hospitalet
Many people don't realise there are two IKEA stores in the Barcelona area:
- IKEA Badalona — northeast, closer to Poblenou, Sant Martí, and Sant Andreu
- IKEA L'Hospitalet — southwest, closer to Sants, Les Corts, and Eixample south
We operate from both. When you enquire, we'll confirm which store is faster for your delivery address.
What We Do
Our standard IKEA pickup service includes:
- We meet you at IKEA (or collect your order using your receipt if you prefer to wait at home)
- We load all flat-pack items into the van
- We transport everything to your Barcelona address
- We carry all items to your specified floor
- Optional: flat-pack assembly at your flat
The Lift Problem: What Fits and What Doesn't
The most common issue we deal with on IKEA runs is Eixample lift width. Original Eixample cage lifts are typically 60cm wide. Here's what that means in practice:
| IKEA Item | Fits in 60cm lift? | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| PAX wardrobe (flat-pack) | No (75cm+ box) | Stair carry |
| BRIMNES bed frame (flat-pack) | Usually yes | Standard carry |
| KALLAX shelving (flat-pack) | Yes (most sizes) | Standard carry |
| SÖDERHAMN sofa (assembled) | No | Disassemble or stair carry tilted |
| POÄNG armchair (assembled) | Usually yes | Standard carry |
| MALM chest of drawers (flat-pack) | Yes | Standard carry |
| BILLY bookcase 80cm (flat-pack) | Yes | Standard carry |
| HEMNES daybed (flat-pack) | No (box too wide) | Stair carry |
When you book with us, tell us your lift width (or "original Eixample lift") and we'll plan the carry-up accordingly. No surprises at the door.
Assembly Service
We offer flat-pack assembly at your flat after delivery. Common IKEA assembly jobs:
- PAX wardrobe system: 1–2 hours per unit
- MALM bed frame: 45–60 minutes
- KALLAX shelving: 30–45 minutes per unit
- SÖDERHAMN sofa: 45–60 minutes
Assembly is charged at our standard hourly rate on top of the delivery fee. If you're moving into a new flat and buying several items, we can combine delivery, carry-up, and assembly into a single half-day booking.
IKEA Run Pricing
Our IKEA Badalona delivery pricing depends on:
- Number of items and total volume
- Your floor and whether you have a working lift
- Whether assembly is included
- Distance from Badalona to your Barcelona address
A typical IKEA pickup for a bedroom setup (bed frame, wardrobe, chest of drawers) to an Eixample 4th-floor flat — stair carry included — runs 2–3 hours at our standard rate. Call us with your item list and we'll give you a fixed price before you confirm.
Booking Tips
- Book the IKEA pickup for the same day as your IKEA visit, or give yourself a 2-day window for collection
- Have your IKEA receipt or order number ready — we'll need it if collecting without you present
- For large orders, book a Sprinter Van or Luton (LWB won't fit a full bedroom set plus sofa)
- If you want assembly, add at least 2 hours to the booking beyond delivery
- Summer months (June–August) are our busiest for IKEA runs — book at least 3–5 days ahead
