I first used Viking Direct after getting a brochure sent through to my business address about ten years ago. At the time internet shopping was in its infancy and the way to buy office stationary was looking through a catalogue and calling the supplier. I used to use a local company to place my orders through, but sadly their inventory was never ...  Read the complete review

One of my many duties at work is to order the stationary and my company orders this from Viking and has done for the last few years. Viking stocks every essential that you would need to get on with day to day work such as note pads and post it notes to screen cleaners, keyboard wrist rests and also tea and coffee which is of course ...  Read the complete review

Viking Direct are making my blood boil. I am taking them to the small claims court, they have £250 of my hard earned cash and I have no goods after waiting several months and making numerous phone calls! They even agree they have the money, it is not as if the cheque got lost in the post. I am a small business owner, who started my ...  Read the complete review

This review is for the stationery supplies company, Viking Direct. I used this company from 2002 until 2005 without problems, and have started to order from them recently. I have never seen a company plummet into such chaos in such a short space of time. They are now diabolical and almost without merit. Customer service, once their ...  Read the complete review

furniture ordered 27th September - catalogue said delivered and assembled in 5 working days. 5 WEEKS later - still not here. Every phone call is handled in a pseudo sympathetic way - "yes I can understand you feel angry" - but no action and no way of escalating to management - totally blocked from getting past the front line customer ...  Read the complete review

My husband decided 6 months ago to bite the bullet and leave his stable job to go into the big wide world on his own, be his own boss in other words. I fully supported his decision knowing that he was good at his job as a ground worker/builder and that he would have no problem getting the work in. Now he had branched out on his ...  Read the complete review

Because I am in the process of looking for some home business opportunities and have just set up my own website I found I was going through a lot of stationary. Including things like cartridges for my Epson Inkjet printer and envelopes etc. The biggest problem with this was the cost of purchasing these items each time. Especially when you buy ...  Read the complete review

Unmatched for price & delivery - Advantages: WYSIWYG, They don't rip you off, Superfast delivery - Disadvantages: Clunky website

To me the service of Viking Direct is summed up by the fact that whenever I've called them, they answer the phone within two rings. On a few occasions, I don't even hear the ring as it has been answered so quickly! Viking Direct sell stationery and a lot more besides, whether you need basics such as envelopes, paper or pens, or ...  Read the complete review

I have dealt with Viking Direct for many years. Their prices are generally reasonable, delivery usually quick - even if a large percentage of the parcels - between an third and a half - arrive either damaged or resealed by the carrier, which in my case is Omega (Securicor). My normal practice is to order by fax and to give credit card ...  Read the complete review

I placed my first order with viking for a highback exective leather chair. The very same day it arrived and i can tell you i was very impressed. However some 7 months later I had to ring up as the chair had developed a few faults. The sponge on the chair seat had become very thin over time, it was uncomfortable to sit on, and you could feel the ...  Read the complete review

Viking Direct is a company which sells office goods not just online but over the phone aswell. They offer massive discounts on many items and often give away a few free gifts when you spend over a certain amount. If you order and item before midday, then it will with you the very same day !!! I don't know how they manage to do it. If you order ...  Read the complete review

Office supplies, furniture and much more. Prices are very competitive, though be aware excluding VAT. It advertises that quatities of the same item deceases the price, but have not tried this myself. Good description of the items and quantity to cost. Delivery on orders over £30 before VAT is free and if entered before 12pm and ...  Read the complete review

Great for paper, office supplies and general computer supplies. Viking direct offers a mail order service via catalogue, but by shopping on their website you get an extra 10% off their prices and a free gift with each order. Their prices are not always the cheapest, but once you register, theyll send you regular catalogues and special ...  Read the complete review

At our company (only a small electrical retail and service shop) we started using Viking about 4 years ago when I got one of their magazines through the post and realised that they were on the whole cheaper than our present Stationery supplier. Ever since I dont buy stationery anywhere else, except when I dont need a box quantity of ...  Read the complete review

Viking are one company I just have to SHOUT about. Yes their delivery is quite quick, their product range and prices good. They have some excellent special offers. But customer service - forget it. Money back garantee - not worth the paper its printed on. I had a problem a short while ago with some floppy disks. ...  Read the complete review

WHY BUY: great for batteries, stationery, computer supplies, etc. Prices usually ...  Read the complete review

I have been a customer since 1991 and have not found any supplier that can rival Viking. I started off using the magazine service and they are very useful for browsing offline. Now I use the internet service which offers even lower prices that those in the magazines. All orders are delivered, for free if totaling £30 or more before VAT, ...  Read the complete review
