My IKEA dreams have been dashed.
First, the store was out of the table top I wanted, so I had to order it online. Today, I received an e-mail with my total charges — not yet charged to my card, thank God:
| Merchandise Total: | $89.98 | |
| Shipping and Handling: | $285.80 | |
| Tax: | $0.00 | |
| Order Total: | $375.78 |
No tax, but shipping is fucking $285.80??? Is the table coming from fucking Sweden???
Forget that. I guess I’ll order something from Target and deal with the ensuing assembly issues.

Nope … I either have to drive 4 hours north to Chicago, or 4 1/2 hours northeast to Detroit … which with the price of gas, would roughly equal the shipping costs LOL.
