First registered for Vyking Ship a couple of years ago. The experience is without fault, straightforward shipping options (not to mention giving you multiple shipping from postal mail to express couriers), and the completion process is prompt.
Yes, the website design might seem outdated, but the outstanding customer service is worth it. I've been using Vykingship to get my stuff from the US since 2015 or earlier, and they have never disappointed.
Thank you!
Excellent service! Customer Service Rep made a custom solution to save me postage. He even went to my package to see what gains in size and weight could be had. Started by removing some cardboard but ultimately repackaged in plastic bag to reduce weight and shipping cost.
I found this company accidentally online and I am here to assure buyers that will receive their parcel safely and at the lowest shipping cost cost from vykingship through consolidating process when buying from multiple sellers.
For proving my word, I include a photo from the parcel I received here in Greece.
Thank you for your service
The team there is better than a personal concierge. In fact they are more like friends to me (perhaps even more reliable!).
Very happy I found them and have always received superb communication from all including Clinton, Samantha and now Michael too. Thank you Michael!
Each one of them has been impeccable in communications and patience in answering each query.
Keep it up VykingShip!
I have used Vykingship on a number of occasions in the past and have been very happy with their customer service. My main gripe is that the shipping cost is very hard to predict because of the requirement to include dimensions. Once everything has been repackaged, you have no way of knowing what the final cost will be until it's ready to ship. I eventually went with myus.com, even paying an annual fee, for this precise reason. Their cost is transparent because it is solely based on weight, so when you purchase an item online, you just has to look at its weight to get a sense of what your final shipping cost will be. You typically have no idea what the dimensions will be of a product once a supplier packs it, so the dimension requirement is a kicker. I am, however, not at all happy with the customer response or service of myus.co, so if Vykingship would adopt a similar system of shipping cost based on weight, I would never go anywhere else.
I have found the Vyking shipping company helpful, affordable, and very quick with my packaging, sending, and the choice of shipping companies. Definitely no complaints. Also when I needed to call, the phone enquiries have been solved. A very good business
Refused to allow me to add a US forwarding address (Becuase it was there competitors), When questioned on this it was met with a rude response stating 'If the other companies are perfect why are you using us'... I'm Closing account and using others who are a lot more helpful and NOT rude when asked a simple question. The fact is if I pay the shipping and fees and taxes I should be able to have my parcels forwarded to any address I require.
Attempt to have your parcels sent to another forwarding company (so you can easily consolidate parcels) and you will be met with rude responses. They can hide behind there hidden T&C; s in any response here, however there is no excuse for rudeness. Used once and never again
Vyking Ship is professional, efficient, and--most importantly--trustworthy. Website is easy to use. Prices are fair. Packaging is careful and competent. And, communication (when needed, which is rare) is prompt, clear, and helpful. Couldn't ask for more. Highly recommended! (fyi: just completed my third request with Vyking)
Have been using Vyking for about 25 deliveries so far. Many options to choose from and customer service is fantastic. Haven't had a single problem yet and will continue to use them. Five stars. End of story.

Hello Mick,
I looked at the discussion you had with our chat agents and you had left abruptly before our agent could discuss other options with you.
Our policy of refusing to ship to other forwarders is not uncommon: many other forwarders share the same or have a similar policy. When our chat agent said "if the other companies are perfect..." this was not meant as a rude response. They were trying to figure out what the benefit of the other company was so they could trying to determine what could be done here to bridge any gap. We always want to provide the best service when possible, and I understand that your situation of having multiple items at different locations could be frustrating. Allowing people to ship anywhere opens our business up to people that may ship to multiple forwarders as means to obfuscate their paper trail. As we do not want to help facilitate fraudulent activity, we have to screen addresses being added by our customers.
All businesses that provide a service have Terms and Conditions. This is not something we hide behind and all users agree to (and are recommended to read) them on our registration page. The link to our Terms and Conditions is here: https://customer.vykingship.com/portal/account/termsofuse.aspx. Per said Terms and Conditions, we note that we will not approve any shipping addresses to other forwarding companies.
I apologize for the inconvenience you have had thus far using our site. If you get back in contact with us we are happy to explore other options for consolidating your goods.
