Ikea is being mocked by internet users everywhere after they were found to be selling a $30 world map with a very obvious mistake on it.

Social media users pointed out that the Swedish furniture store’s BJORKSTA world map fails to show New Zealand!

A photo of the mistake was posted to social media along with the caption, “Ikea’s map game is not on point.”

“What’s the deal Ikea with forgetting an entire country off the world maps you are selling? New Zealand exists!” one social media user commented, with another adding, “Hopefully Ikea won’t be using their own map to find us when they open their first store in New Zealand.”

“To be fair to Ikea, it ain’t hard to forget about New Zealand,” a third user wrote, with a fourth adding, “Think Ikea need to add New Zealand to their map before the first store here opens.”

Though the map is being sold in both the United States and Australia, social media users questioned whether it was being sold in New Zealand as well.

“Wonder if they’re going to sell these maps in the new Auckland store,” one person commented.

The store has gotten so much flack for this that they have responded through a spokesperson.

“IKEA is responsible for securing correct and compliant motifs on all our products. We can see that the process has failed regarding the product BJÖRKSTA world map – we regret this mistake and apologize,” the Ikea spokesperson said. “We will take the necessary actions and the product is now being phased out from our stores.”
