“I'm very disappointed with Viking service (Part of Office Depot) . I'm extremaly unimpressed about wasting my time with lack of information. Made an order based on false advertisement: next day delivery. After completing payment, received an email about 'backorder list' without additional information. Forced to look on Web - found out delivery will take 14 days. No customer service available. Must wait until Monday and call to South Africa in order to cancel order. Extreme waste of time. I do not recommend company”

“10 days and order not received, numerous telephone calls waiting phone call from manager and still waiting........ Requested refund so I can purchase elsewhere as I am told another 1-2 days which could be 3/4/5 or even next month if I'm lucky. Viking should remember its the second order that is the most important as customers are happy with their first order. Very much doubt I will be placing 2nd order. Anyone placing an order with these should at their own peril!!!!!!”

“Appalling customer service!!!!! 6 orders placed in the last 3 months, problems with all of them, including the last one which is still undelivered after a week!! Customer services is a nightmare to get hold of and full of lies. No callbacks are honored, no apology is given and today they are experiencing an "Emergency Situation" and no live chat or calls are being accepted!! AVOID, AVOID, AVOID!!”

“Viking took payment for an item they never sent... trying to get hold of someone to credit this back to us is proving difficult.”

“Disgraceful customer service, call backs promised and get cut off when you have waited on hold for 30 mins. No response from Yodel couriers either. Our company will never use viking again as this is not the first time we have had issues with delivery and customer service.”

“I would give -100 stars if possible. Viking business account. Deliveries often ended up next door, which is quite a walk. I ordered an item which was faulty, so a collecting and replacement was arranged. This should have taken place the next day but didn't. I chased and was promised delivery/collection 4 times by both Viking and Yodel, with the excuse from Yodel that 'they had a huge delivery backlog'. Yes, because you're incompetent. I gave up and cancelled the order with Viking, who contacted me the next day to say it was out for delivery. It was refused at the door. Two weeks later and I am still waiting for collection of the faulty item. I will never use Viking again, and will avoid any company I know used Yodel as their delivery service.”

“Placed two orders at the weekend totalling £180, I get a call on Monday to tell me that I need to pay for my orders which are £3.49 each. Total shambles, have to wait 30 days for a refund. I have spent £000’s with this company and will now no longer give them any more of my business. Left me with no packing to process my own orders.”

“I ordered toilet roll from Viking direct for next day delivery on November 23rd. Two weeks later it still hasn't come. I have received no response from their customer service team in the last week, despite multiple emails. I've paid in full. When I called them last week, when it was already a week late, they refused to refund me and assured me the toilet roll would be there that day. Literally the worst customer service I've ever had, they wasted my time and effectively stolen my money.”

“we are a new customer and ordered some stationary at a cost of £38. All we received was a round tin of m and m chocolates. we have checked our order and it shows delivered so now we have the hassle of sorting this out. A very poor start for a new customer!!!!”

“I would prefer not to give any stars at all. I never write revues but have been compelled to do so after the worst after sales service I have experienced in a long time. Failure to deliver, given different excuses. Finally got a replacement parcel without the promised free gift (because apparently I had already had one - in the lost parcel!!). Wrote to customer relations. No answer. Finally spoke to someone who promised a manager would call back that day. She was rude and surly in her attitude and I felt she was not intending to pass my request on. There was no call. I will not use this shoddy company again.”

“Very unprofessional and untrusworthy! I ordered a HP printer for 260 € the 13th of November over the phone and was promised it would arrive the 16th of November with a compensation as they had made a mistake in the quote initially. The 16th of November I didn't receive anything and called them again and they promised again that it would arrive the 19th of November with the compensation, a money voucher and the invoice would be in the package. Today is the 19th of November and I receive a package - but and there was no compensation in the package nor an invoice and on top of it they sent me a printer for 60 € !! I called their customer service earlier today around 15:00 and the guy told me he would come back to me ½ hour later. It's been more than 3 hours now and he never came back to me. Their products might be good but if you look for a professional company that keeps their promises, look elsewhere! 1 star is too much for rating this company.”

“Horrible experience. I am trying to return an unwanted item for 4 weeks. They simply do not collect it and I am not getting refunded. Customer service is unhelpful and not truthful: I am promised to be called back, however noone calls. Next time I call them I am told that the customer service didn't put a note to call me back. Beware!”

“Dreadful service. Supposed to have next day delivery still waiting a week later. When I call or use live chat the staff just lie and always say it is out for delivery and then it never turns up. They just wan to to get rid of you rather than solve your problem or give accurate advice. Use another company.”

“Very very poor experience. I ordered a desk from them and I've had two failed delivery dates so far. This costs me both time and money. Viking used to be very good but as a returning customer after several years I will not be spending any more of my money with them. Customer services cannot actually give you any answers, it's pointless contacting them. Whether my order will actually show up or not only time will tell. How does this company keep trading? just look at the reviews, over 70% at 1 star at time of writting”
