So, we've been shopping for some new household items and I paid with my WISE card (great currency exchange) but IKEA charges a crap exchange rate then adds a 5% margin. Discovering we ordered an incorrect item, after the return I was shorted $38CDN in refund, within 20 min of the process. Now IKEA Bavaro has to call IKEA head office in Santo Domingo and will get back to me in 4-5 business days.
Moral learned:
1. Don't purchase anything at IKEA in other currencies, only peso.
2. Don't trust IKEA, and double check your receipt.
We'll see if I get my money back. I'll have to check my past receipts for this too.
