    There really is 'no need' to make up a business name, as Vikingdirect supply to friends of mine at their home address's. You can simply use your own name and they should open an 30 Day credit account for you immediately. If you really want an account. (Many Self-employed) people now work from home.

    Or if you have a credit card. You can pay upfront by phone, and if you do not like anything from them, they will even collect and refund in full, as long as you let them know within 30 Days.

    They could teach some of the more established office suppliers a thing or two on
    customer service from the sounds of it.. Might give them a try..

    Got that leather chair last year for €66 including VAT and delivery

    Oh and yeah got a portable television with that and a huge box of biscuits and a box of 500 (!) teabags all for free :eek:

    BTW chair is decent build quality but hard

    Viking are using this deal (and others) as major loss-leaders

    They hope to recuperate the loss from follow-up orders you make after seeing their latest brochure that will drop on your doormat every month forever after :rolleyes:

    I ain't entertaining that, but got a grand wee bit of a bargain :D

    Well, after assembling the chair and admiring it for all of two minutes I noticed a tear in the leather at the top. I was quite dissapointed but when I called them this morning, they arranged a replacement to be delivered tomorrow and a chair box for me to put the faulty one in for return.

    I found that to be very positive customer service the likes of which I really don't see these days!

    Good job.

    Email sent to Viking this morning.......enjoy, so stupid its funny :D and no its not a wind up.
    Placed the order above last Thursday June 24th for next day delivery, Friday June 25th. No sign of goods, notified helpline 10:00 a.m. June 30th that goods had not arrived.

    Received phone call at 10:30 June 30th from the local bicycle shop that a box had arrived that moring, and could I collect. If they were unable to find the address, the courier company made no attempt to contact me . Box contained 2 of the 3 items ordered, but no chair.

    Understand that Viking contract out delivery to couriers, but apalling service has been provided in this instance. Have again contacted the helpline at 12:15 today, but not confident that I am going to get my chair, apparently this has been delivered and signed for by someone at some other address.
