Dear Ikea

Dear Ikea,
I am looking for a pair of inexpensive, yet stylish and sturdy, bookcases for my daughter's big girl room.  As I perused your website, I found this.



It is perfect.  However, your shipping charges make it prohibitively expensive (not to mention ridiculous since the shipping is more than the bookcase itself).  So, Aunt Cece and I are planning a trip to our nearest store (Atlanta) to pick up 2.  Fortunately, your website allows us to check how many pieces are in stock. Unfortunately, there are only 3 pieces in stock right now.  Despite my borderline harassing phone calls, you will not hold them, nor let me pay for them over the phone before we start to drive.  I am therefore relegated to "taking my chances" as we make the trip to Hotlanta.  Could you PUH-LEASE have two for me when we get there?  The Emminator thanks you.

As extra incentive, I also plan to pick up a few other items.  Like this, this, and this.  Who doesn't like these prices?

Sincerely,
Abigail Avery, appreciative yet frustrated customer.

That is suuuuuper-annoying. Good luck!
