In the UK and Ireland, the famous Swedish brand IKEA is offering a chance for customers to trade in unwanted used IKEA furniture in exchange for store vouchers with no expiry date.
The value of the furniture traded in depends on its condition. An “as new” item may fetch up to 50% of its original price. Furniture must be fully assembled and sent back to the return desk to get a final-agreed value.
If a returned item cannot be resold as second-hand furniture, it will be recycled or donated to charity. The “Buy Back” initiative is part of IKEA’s sustainability strategy. It aims to become a more environmentally friendly company.
友善讓你懂|解說:
知名瑞典家具品牌IKEA,在英國和愛爾蘭推出了一個「買回舊家具」的新方案,提供顧客以舊家具折價貼換的機會,把不要的二手IKEA家具拿回來,交換IKEA的折價兌換券,且換得的兌換券上不會有限制使用期限,用意在鼓勵顧客只在真正需要的時候再回來買新家具。
舊家具能夠換到的價值將依它的使用狀況而定。一組「近全新」的家具甚至可以回售到原價的50%。要回售的家具都必須全部組裝好、並且送回指定的「退售處」來做最終的價值判定。
如果回售的物品無法以「二手家具」的形式出售,則會送去回收或是捐做慈善用途。這個「回售」方案是IKEA永續政策的一部分,目標是讓IKEA一步步變成對環境更為友善的企業。
