yes, the sane way to buy furniture from Ikea is to visit the showroom to look at everything in-person, and then give them your address for delivery of anything very large.

Bad faith: "Are you really transporting those products back and forth to test?"

Good Better faith: Seeing and testing furniture doesn't imply not using shipping.

Speculation: For many, use value of products seem less important compared to short-term novelty value, i.e. owning over using. Celebrating ownership might require immediate access regardless of location, showing ability to HAUL the products then displays further power.
