viking-direct.co.uk

where to start?? Well... I was looking for a COMFORTABLE office/swivel chair (because my cheap great LOOKING but hard uncomfortable plastic IKEA chair was damaging my back!). After checking out what nectar estores could offer, I realised viking-direct sold chairs too (previously having a vague idea of viking-direct offering only office supplies/stationary). So I went to the "furniture & seating" tab and clicked on "executive chairs". Now being a ...
...my amazement I found an executive leather chair for under 30 quid! Was it real? Was I hallucinating? Well.. no! It WAS a leather faced chair, and that was all that mattered to me, and for a decent price I was sold. So after making an initial account setup, I was shown a special offer "only available for that day". It was copy/blank white paper at a special price, and frankly I did need paper for my printer so I went ahead and added it to my basket. ...

Review of viking-direct.co.uk

I am the senior administrator at my company, and since working here I have been contacted by so many stationary companies offering 'bargins' and 'value for money' and in my company - thats the most important thing, we do a big order of stationary every week, and every few weeks we buy furniture and a vast amount of cleaning product. Due to different companies being able to put offers on different products, my company have an account with 2 companies, ...
...envelopes, paper, pens etc from them, The other company is Viking, I discovered Viking whilst looking for a product that our usual company didn't do, i surfed the internet for the product (some postal tubing) and Viking was first in the search results, and when checked against other internet companies, Viking offered the best deal. Their website was easy to use, and it offers a home section and an office section, so it is easier to find the type ...

Review of viking-direct.co.uk

Our company stopped dealing with Viking some time ago because of Vikings inability to supply the goods ordered. We were persuaded to give them 'another chance' and having spent the last hour trying to explain the errors in the latest delivery to an unhelpful person in Viking customer service I have given up with this company. We ordered three items (value £80) and one of these was wrong. Viking said it was an error in their catalogue to blame, ...
...queried the added charge for 'Protection Plus' (12 months warranty) and its relevance to consumables. We were told we should read the small print in their catalogue but they admitted that it should not apply to our type of order. We would still have to contact them to opt out if we did not wish to pay this charge. We queried the fact that we had been invoiced for these goods as we gave the order and our Company Debit Card details to their sales ...

Review of viking-direct.co.uk

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 ! The Viking catalogue covers all manner of office equipment, from stationary and supplies to hardware and office furniture. Although I have not used the latter, I believe that they will also assemble ...
...from the flat pack. Viking deliver the next working day, although there is a small surcharge for orders under £30. However, I have found it easy to make this limit by adding sundries such as black bin liners, cleaning products or even coffee and tea in bulk- things I would not necessarily usually order from an office supplier. I have rarely had any problems with Viking deliveries, and when I have the customer service team have been very efficient ...

Review of viking-direct.co.uk

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 where ...
...12 years or so working in finance I decided to put all my knowledge and experience to good use and help Barry with the administrative tasks which I knew he would hate doing. Plus he would never manage with the little time he had left in the evening and there was no point paying someone else to do his books when I could easily manage myself. To help get our business running smoothly we needed a reliable supplier of office stationery and consumables ...
