    I stand corrected. IKEA Dublin is 22% more expensive than Belfast.

    did you notice this in the thread?


    A price comparison of six products yesterday found that four were cheaper to buy in Dublin than in Northern Ireland.

    The products include:

    A Klippan two-seater sofa priced at €125 in Ballymun. The UK price was £117.45 (€135.76).
    A Klippan pouffe was €45 in Dublin, compared with £39.15 (€45.25).
    The IKEA 365+ 18-piece dinner service was €29.99, almost €3 cheaper than the £28.38 (€32.80) charged in the North.
    A Granat cushion which cost €2.99 was seven cent cheaper in the Republic. "

    NEWSFLASH IKEA DUBLIN CHEAPER THAN BELFAST

    Once again the appropriateness of a username is born out by the quality of the posts. All is right with the world.

    Well if you "bothered" to read this thread you would have noticed that I posted in a different forum and the Mod moved it in here. The next time I post I'll read all of the posts on boards.ie to avoid any duplication. :rolleyes:

    Mod, please close this thread in favour of the other thread of the same topic.

    IKEA stated that the prices were the same in the south as the north. Am I missing something :confused:
    Well now we found the something you missed, the TRUTH...

    "Even Ikea is cheaper up north", Sunday Times.

    the Swedish furniture superstore claimed that prices in Ireland’s first and only outlet would be in line with those in the north.
    So no mention of a match, In fact the only IKEA quote I see specifically gave examples that they would not be the same.
    “It is the case that some items may be cheaper and some may be more expensive, but as Garry Deakin (the store manager) has previously said, on average, prices are more or less similar,”
    "More or less" is meaningless marketing BS, like "fresh" or "new & improved"

    Again "about" is meaningless marketing speak.

    No, you need correction again. it said UP TO 22% which I stated in that thread too. More meaningless talk...
    however the Times is a reputable newspaper and the title does state - Ikea says Dublin store will match Belfast on price
    That is the very reason why they are NOT reputable, that goes for the sunday times too, both are deliberately misleading people.
