My question to you is: What can I do if parts are missing from IKEA Hemnes furniture? Is there an official way through IKEA to order missing screws, wooden pieces, or other components, or is it better to contact customer service directly? I would also be interested to know if any of you have experience with this and if there are recommended steps that could make the process easier or faster. Thanks in advance for your tips and advice!
Hello Sanheidema, I have often experienced that parts are missing from IKEA Hemnes furniture. Therefore, I’d like to share a brief guide on what you can do:
- First, make sure you have your proof of purchase ready, as IKEA requires this to send replacement parts.
- Then, you can either go directly to the customer service desk at the IKEA store or call their customer service. They usually have a dedicated replacement parts department.
- When you speak with them, try to specify exactly which part is missing, ideally using the part number from the IKEA assembly instructions.
- IKEA often offers free shipping for replacement parts, and sometimes you can pick them up directly at the store.
- It’s important to be patient, as delivery can sometimes take a few days.
Common mistakes to avoid: Don’t try to buy replacement parts on your own or improvise, to prevent any stability or safety issues.
In summary: prepare your documentation, contact customer service (either at the desk or by phone), provide precise information, and you will usually receive the missing parts without any problems.

Typical mistakes to avoid: Don’t buy replacement parts on your own or try to improviseThis is an important point. However, I think it’s also worth questioning why these problems occur in the first place: Are parts only rarely missing, or is there a systemic quality issue? If it’s the latter, this could also have long-term implications regarding product liability.
Furthermore, I wonder how efficient IKEA’s service actually is when waiting for replacement parts. Are there reliable firsthand experiences or evidence on how long such a replacement part delivery usually takes?
It would be important to know whether missing parts mean you have to stop assembly completely or if you can start provisionally. This would help better estimate the time pressure. So, does anyone have experience with IKEA’s Hemnes service that they would be willing to share?
I have ordered replacement parts for Hemnes furniture from IKEA several times, so I can share some helpful points:
- Usually, IKEA responds to requests for missing parts quite quickly, often within 1-2 business days.
- There are two ways to order replacement parts: online through your IKEA account under ‘Product Support’ or directly at the store’s service desk.
- It is important to provide the exact product name and, if possible, the number of the missing part from the assembly instructions.
- After the order is successfully placed, delivery usually takes about one week, with free shipping.
- If the missing parts are very small, such as screws or dowels, they are usually sent without any problems.
- One common mistake is to contact third-party sellers instead of the retailer or customer service directly. This is not only more expensive but also carries quality risks.
My advice: Take your time with the request, document the missing part well, and follow the official process. This way you avoid problems later and ensure your furniture is stable.
