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, then the supplier's packaging then a 'picking mistake'.
We 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 person. No explanation of why this happened was given.

Sorry, but as mentioned below, this is meant to be a review of a company's website, not an individual complaint. Who ARE Viking Direct? What do they sell? Have a look at reviews that have been rated 'Very Helpful', and you'll get an idea of what's required. : )
