IKEA Delivery & Assembly in Montreal: What to Know
IKEA Delivery Options for Montreal
IKEA offers several delivery tiers for Montreal addresses. Standard delivery (to your door) starts around $69 for small items and goes up based on order size. Room-of-choice delivery, where the driver brings items inside to your chosen room, costs more but is worth it if you live in a walk-up — you won't have to lug flat-packs up three flights of stairs yourself. Delivery from the Pointe-Claire or Boucherville locations typically arrives within 3–7 business days.
For smaller orders, IKEA also partners with TaskRabbit for same-day or next-day delivery using independent drivers. This can be faster but availability varies. During peak moving season (late June through July), expect longer wait times across all delivery options.
Assembly Services: IKEA vs Third-Party
IKEA's in-house assembly service through TaskRabbit lets you book a Tasker to assemble your purchases. Prices are based on the item — a PAX wardrobe runs about $80–$150 to assemble, while a MALM dresser is typically $50–$70. You can add assembly at checkout or book separately through the TaskRabbit app after delivery.
Third-party assembly services in Montreal, found on Kijiji or Google, often charge flat hourly rates of $40–$60/hour and can be more cost-effective for large orders. If you're furnishing an entire apartment with IKEA, a local handyman who charges by the hour may save you hundreds compared to per-item TaskRabbit pricing.
Tips for Saving Money on Your IKEA Haul
Rent a pickup truck or cargo van from Home Depot or Enterprise for $20–$40 and do the haul yourself — this eliminates the delivery fee entirely and you get your items same-day. The IKEA Pointe-Claire location has a large loading area that makes self-pickup painless.

Check the IKEA As-Is section at both Montreal-area stores for floor models and returned items at 30–70% off. Sign up for IKEA Family (free) for member-only discounts and early access to sales. And measure everything — doorways, stairwells, and room dimensions — before buying. Returns on large assembled items are a headache you don't need during a move.
