I've searched the forums here, but haven't found anything...

In a recent move, the Hamar metal bar for my Malm bed got lost -- I think it was left on a moving truck. I slept on the floor for a while, and finally took the day trip up to the nearest store to get a new one... only to get home and discover that the brackets used to connect it to the bed must have still been attached to the previous one. Apparently the brackets come with the frame not the support bar.

I called the Ikea phone-based sales and they said that they can't just sell me brackets -- that I could try my local Ikea (which is far from local).

So my question is, short of the time/gas/cost of driving to an Ikea to get the brackets, is there a way to order them that I just don't know of?

Thanks.

Nope. You can only get them through an actual IKEA store. Call up the actual store - not the call center - and speak to an aftersales coworker or customer service manager. They might be willing to charge you over the phone and ship them out to you depending on their stores policy. Most likely they wont and you'll have to go to the store and buy the midbeam brackets. That IKEA. It's all about self service.
