I first stared using Viking Direct as the secretary of a small local society, as a convenient way of purchaisng essentials such as envelopes and printer cartridges. As time has gone on and I have started my own small business, it has become a godsend !

Although I have not used the latter, I believe that they will also assemble ... Read review

Advantages: Next Day Delivery, Free gifts aplenty, fantastic offers, huge range or products
Disadvantages: None encountered yet, apart from spending too much money

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 own it meant that he had to do everything himself such as ordering materials, giving quotations and invoicing. This is ... Read review

One month ago I placed an oder with Viking Direct for around a dozen items of office equipment (CDs, labels, paper etc) and two items off office furniture.

Disadvantages: Not found any yet

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 them from the high street. I already had a catalogue from a company called Staples who at the beginning ... Read review

Advantages: Huge Range of Products
Disadvantages: Sometimes too many headings

I orginally found out about Viking when I was working for my previous employer. They had two main office suppliers, one local and Viking. Originally when I first started there we used the local supplier thinking it would quicker and cheaper to use them, but as time went on and I started to compare prices in the catalogue and online, I discovered that most of the products were cheaper and also they delivered next day, without delay. Using Vikings ... Read review

Advantages: Huge range of products; price
Disadvantages: Free gift codes from brochures not accepted on internet; delivery problems

My husband and I run a small business and have found getting hold of stationery a bit of bind. The nearest large office stationers is a good thirty minutes drive away, and choice is not as good as I would like. Then we first received a catalogue from Viking Direct, it proved to be a life safer. The range of products is amazing - rolodexes to rulers, bubble wrap to blu-tack, printers to paper clips. Since parcels need signing for, I used to ... Read review
