Solve your Ikea Hangover. We just recieved this tip for a new delivery service from Ikea. Sounds good. It's run by a couple, which makes us feel better already. Email them at MagicMushroomVan@yahoo.com. (Thanks, Elise!) MGR

Elise says: I ordered a heavy dresser that I would never have been able to carry myself had I mustered the energy to rent a car and drive to Ikea and it was in my apt the next day for a $50 fee. Best ever!

They (Jerry and Ajna) say: If you want us to make an ikea trip just for you we charge between $75 and $120. BUT if you are a bit flexible about when we go we can do it for half the cost ($35-60) because we can combine your trip with another customer and you are basically sharing the cost of our time/tolls etc. if you fill me in on the details of where you live & what you're buying i can quote you a final price for the trip. (combined or otherwise.)

this is an old post, so i don't know if magic mushroom is still doing their thing. i used them in 2005 to return lots of big heavy pieces to ikea left over from my cabinet installation. without their service, i would have been out about 300 dollars and stuck with trashing perfectly good materials.

MAGIC MUSHROOM VAN IS CLOSED. i thought typing in all caps might get the point across that they no longer offer delivery services for a few years. try http://ikea-delivery-alternative.com/index.html

THE MAGIC MUSHROOM VAN IS DEAD.

i've done everything i can think of to make it clear that this service doesn't exist anymore. posted notices on the site. asked former clients to do the same. e-mailed apartment therapy. I don't know how to say politely "PLEASE DON'T CALL ME ANYMORE," but...PLEASE DON'T CALL ME ANYMORE. and no, i don't know anyone else 'in the business' or have any recommendations.

i'm not trying to be a jerk, i just want to be able to sleep in on a saturday morning w/out my phone ringing off the hook about a service that ended in 2005.
