Does anyone know if IKEA currently delivers to the non-Dhahran compounds?

Yes they will deliver to RT. Technically its not ikea who deliver but a contract firm , I cant remember which one, something like DHL or TNT etc. Its very expensive as they charge you a set percentage of the cost of your goods, so If you have some costly items, your delivery charge will be high. Most delivery firms charge lower percentages as the amount you spend increase, but not this one!
There are several guys with vans who are parked outside Ikea who will deliver your goods there and then, for a lot less SR. Im sure as long as you follow them back to camp or take their iqama number and vehicle plate number, then you will have no problems.
We have bought furniture etc from the Home Centre on the corniche many times and they will deliver and install for no charge. The cost of the furniture also seems lower than Ikea
