IKEA Delivery--Reliable in Baltimore?

Hello CC Parents!
I’m a student transitioning from undergrad to grad school, and moving from Worcester, MA to Baltimore with my boyfriend. We have both lived in campus housing for our undergrad but our schools don’t provide grad housing so we are moving into a lovely, recently redone grown-up apartment in Mount Vernon in a few weeks! Obviously as young people we are planning on furnishing it with IKEA furniture. The place where we are moving has strict rules about move-in dates and such, and everything has to be moved in in one day. We have a “staging area” (my boyfriend’s family home) in New Jersey, about 2-1/2 hours from Baltimore, and we will have a UHaul van’s worth of stuff to move into the apartment that morning. I feel like a trip to IKEA to buy all the furniture after that will be exhausting and I’d much rather get it delivered. However, I’ve seen from reviews that IKEA delivery isn’t super reliable. Anyone have experiences to share?
Thank you!
