Ikea Billy black shelf sold out?

Hello,

I recently bought three black Billy shelves and now need a few more shelves. I wanted to order them online because the nearest Ikea is a bit too far away.
But look here: The online shop sells Billy shelves in all shapes and colors, except black.
Black-brown is the darkest.

Or am I just too stupid?

I haven't received a response to a support request from 2 weeks ago until today.
Is there a deeper reason for this?

There is indeed only black-brown. There are some Billy shelves for which there simply are no replacement shelves.

Does that mean there are no black shelves available online only, or not at all? So a trip to the nearest Ikea is pointless too?

If that's the case, then I now have three shelves here that are useless to me in this form. That means I can either equip them with beautifully ugly dark brown shelves or send them straight to the bulky waste.

That was the first and last time Ikea.

No, there are basically no black shelves. IKEA has a total range of 9,000 items and it is simply not possible to stock spare parts for all of them, even if you pout now. Just check in advance.

Of course. They offer five different waste separators for kitchen cabinets in all colors and sizes for repurchase, but no black shelves for this Ikea product at all. That shows a well-thought-out product policy.

Just ask beforehand.

Right. I should have asked whether all components are available for a shelf that basically consists of three components. Especially since the shelves are actively advertised as expandable. There are glass shelves, but no black wooden ones. "Can I buy tires for this car later?" "For the red one, yes; for the black one, no. That exceeds our storage capacities."

Anyway, the discussion with fanboys is futile. The topic can be closed.

This is the end now... If you want to argue, you can do so via PN, but not here. Thank you
