MANILA - Customers eager to get their hands on IKEA products can now purchase items online as the Swedish company official opens its e-commerce site but "with limited capacity."

"We're on a drill. Online shopping is on but with limited capacity," IKEA Philippines said on its website.

A quick scan of its online offering showed that some items can be "added to cart" while bigger items such as sofas would give users a prompt that the item is not available for delivery.

Once users proceeds to checkout, they will be shown delivery options such as different pick-up sites and time of pick-up, as well as parcel delivery and truck delivery.
