More important question: I'm looking to furnish a living room, library and three bedrooms. Lots of stuff. IKEA shipping is ridiculously high, and I don't fancy driving a Budget truck for 4 hours to Ohio. Is there any other way of shipping this stuff? Is the sale still going on? How long does it last?

The trick to getting your stuff to your car is simply, in most cases, to wheel the cart through the wheelchair entrance/exit. at *every single one* i've been to, it's worked. They also don't let us leave the cafe until the store officially opens - in large part due especially to "wacky wednesdays" and the rabid ways some people attack the as-is department. I actually do have a lanyard, myself - they put them on sale sometimes, when they've switched what kind the staff are wearing. They basically don't want people wandering around social engineering. If you have one near you, and you go there often enough once yours is built, you'll find them every now and then. One thing you'll also notice when you go once a week or so, is that they often have totally unadvertised, un-catalogued things around, but only for a couple of weeks, and then they're gone again. Or they show up in one monthly flyer, and then they're gone. That's what i find most fun about the place (that and the rabid way i attack the as-is department.... major scores include a denim sofa-bed for a hundred bucks and a beddinge bed-frame for $23. unopened.)
