Ikea Flat-Pack Houses & Shop Rage

Ikea is apparently selling flat-pack/pre-fab houses, at least on a limited scale. No word on whether or not they come with four-foot-long allen wrenches, or how I'm going to fit a box that size onto my cart in the warehouse section of the store.

On the other hand, my biggest problem at Ikea is getting the arguing newlyweds blocking the aisle to move, or the mother and father plus four children and seventeen of their children's friends to stop blocking a display of desk accessories they're not even freaking looking at. Just imagine how fast they'll move when I wheel a box containing a house around the corner.

I'm not sure I even really need the house, but I'd pay $20 to push the box around the store.

Design question. Where do they put the scannable barcode?

Policy question. Where do you return it for a refund?

I'm thinking if you're the sort of person that can crank a 7,000 pound, 10' x 80' flatpack box around the Ikea warehouse, you can probably also compel them to give you a refund whenever you want. (What's the Swedish translation for "Paul Bunyan"?)
