Terrible delivery experience - 3 failed appointments, still no fridge after 2 weeks
I ordered a fridge and an emhætte (extractor hood) from Elgiganten. After waiting 8 days, I got my first delivery date for 31 August.
Delivery Appointment 1 - 31 August 2026
The delivery guys arrived around 13:30. They took out the emhætte and told me my air duct wasn't 15 cm, so I needed to buy a new one. For the fridge, they said if they moved it, the wooden floor could get damaged, and that would be my responsibility, so they couldn't install it either. I agreed to buy both new items myself so the installation could go ahead.
I bought both items right away.
Delivery Appointment 2 - 1 September 2026
I waited at home from 8:00 to 17:30. No call, no one showed up. When I called customer service, they said they had no idea what happened.
I had to wait until the next day at 12:00 just to book a new appointment.
Delivery Appointment 3 - 8. September 2026
I cancelled all my meetings to be home the whole day. The delivery company later claimed they rang the bell and no one answered, so they cancelled the delivery. I was home the entire day. No one called, no one knocked.
Customer service's response was that I could only book another appointment starting from 12:00 the next day.
As of today, I still have no fridge and no emhætte. I have been ordering food from outside since 24 August because I have no working kitchen.
This has been an exhausting and stressful experience. You pay in full up front, then get failed appointment after failed appointment with no explanation, no apology, and no one taking responsibility. There is no email, no call, and no accountability when a delivery fails. You just have to keep booking again and hope the next one works.
I would never go near Elganten.
