I recently moved back to Vancouver from overseas and was so looking forward to finally owning something permanent. I was giddy with anticipation of have my new couch arrival when the news broke of the Ikea strike! I waited patiently for 4 weeks before finally biting the bullet and called to cancel my order and opted to buy from another store who promised delivery within 1 week. One day after putting down a deposit for the alternate couch, I received a call from Ikea that my couch can be delivered the following day. I was torn! But sticking to my principals, I bit my tongue and murmurred that I will need to discuss it with my husband before making a decision. Long story short, after almost 2 months of returning home from 7 years of living like a vagabond overseas, I can now put my feet up on MY coffee while sitting on MY couch, watching MY TV.
