Hello everyone,
I recently ordered several furniture pieces from the Ikea Hemnes series, and when unpacking the package, I noticed that some components were missing. Specifically, small connecting parts like dowels and screws, which are essential for assembly. I would like to know the best way to handle this situation.
Is there an official contact point at Ikea that provides replacement parts quickly and easily? Should I contact customer service directly, or would it be better to visit the store in person?
I’m also interested to know if anyone has experience with Ikea sending missing parts free of charge, or if you might have to pay for them.
I have done some research but want to avoid making any mistakes, since assembly isn’t possible without these small parts and I need to finish the cabinet urgently.
Thank you all for your feedback!

In such a case, simply call Ikea customer service directly or contact them online through the contact form. Parts are usually sent free of charge if it is a packaging error. If you happen to be near a furniture store, you can also pick up replacement parts there – this usually works faster.
To systematically address the issue of missing parts in Ikea HEMNES furniture, I recommend the following steps:
- First, check the package contents carefully and note exactly which parts are missing. The assembly instructions serve as a reference, as they list all components with illustrations.
- Next, contact Ikea customer service either by phone or online. Response times may vary depending on the region and availability. It is important to have your order number and the exact product name ready.
- Ikea usually offers a free replacement shipment for missing assembly components, as these are often manufacturing or packaging errors.
- If the customer service response is unsatisfactory, you can also visit the local store in person. This has the advantage that replacement parts can often be obtained immediately.
- A common issue with the HEMNES system is missing small screws and dowels, which can easily be lost during transport. If you are missing many components, it may be worthwhile to ask Ikea in advance whether a complete assembly kit for your furniture can be sent to you.
Background information: Even if some replacement parts come with a small charge, the compensation process is generally reliable and quick. I also recommend keeping your communication in writing, so you have documentation for any future inquiries.
If you like, you can describe in more detail which parts are missing here. Sometimes the community can help with alternative solutions or sources for construction accessories.
