You may be wondering, “Where is the closest IKEA® store to me?" or "Is IKEA® in Tennessee?"

As of now, the closet IKEA® store to Nashville is located in Memphis, TN. There is also a larger IKEA® a bit further in Atlanta.

What? No IKEA® Nashville?

Yes, for the time being, there’s no IKEA® in Nashville. Although this past May 2017, IKEA® announced their plan to open a store in Antioch, TN, just south-east of Nashville, in the summer of 2020.

For all of us IKEA-lovers, this is a victory! Yet the wait may just drive us all insane, since IKEA® Memphis is still 200 miles away from Nashville.

So, this leaves the question, “What’s the quickest, most simple way to get IKEA® in Nashville TN without having to drive to Memphis or Atlanta?”

To get IKEA delivery in Nashville you have several options:

1. Be the delivery company.

It’s how ModerNash got started. We simply asked people on Craigslist if they needed anything shipped from IKEA® and lo and behold we had some takers. There are pros and cons to self-shipping, but the main factors most people get hung up on are:

• Vehicle isn’t big enough to transport what you need and the cost of a U-Haul rental is painfully expensive from Nashville to IKEA® Memphis and back is $350 + tax and insurance.

• The value of your time. The average round-trip to IKEA® Memphis, including shop, purchase, load and travel home is 12 hours. If you make $25/hour like ModerNash’s Founder Nick Ray did when he was waiting tables at J. Alexanders in Cool Springs, that comes to $300 worth of time. Add fuel, food and wear and tear on your vehicle and you’re well over $400 to make one trip, and that’s without a U-Haul rental!

2. Order online at IKEA.com.

IKEA® offers online ordering for many (not all) of their products. When ordering online with IKEA® there are several factors to keep in mind:

• IKEA® only ships a portion of the products they offer (27K+ products). IKEA® products are shipped from an IKEA® distribution center that has a limited inventory versus an actual IKEA® store that offers it all.

• If you want any items that they don’t ship, like some of their Textiles, Armchairs or Outdoor products, you'll have to go the nearest IKEA® to pick them up.

• All shipping companies are not created equal. Although IKEA® strives to meet the needs of their customers, sometimes things can fall short with delayed deliveries, broken items and missing products.

3. Finally, you can use a niche delivery company like ModerNash to bring your IKEA® goodies back to Nashville.

A few things to keep in mind when using a service like ModerNash are: 

• We are limited by what IKEA® has in stock at their store during our weekly trips. Although we strive to have a one-week turnaround for IKEA® shipments, if the products are out-of-stock at the IKEA® store we source from, we'll try again on the next trip.

• ModerNash ships everything IKEA® offers with the exception of perishable goods. Our motto is: “If IKEA® offers it and it can’t be eaten or requires water to live, we can bring it home to Nashville.”

• We offer additional services beyond shipping your IKEA® goodies. Although IKEA® offers to connect you with third party vendors who can assist with the assembly or installation of your IKEA® products, ModerNash can take care of you from start to finish with IKEA® product shipment, white glove in-home delivery and assembly/installation of all your IKEA® furnishings. We also do custom IKEA® kitchens, offices, bathrooms and more!

Getting the IKEA® delivery you need shouldn’t require half your weekend. At ModerNash, we strive to be the quickest, most efficient and customer service-oriented way to ship IKEA® to Nashville.
