    Helped me move

    My shipment arrived in the airport without any issues. Though some fees appeared heavy, Viking did a very great job describing to me exactly what they were to and answering my own questions.

    Fantastic service, great price, highly recommended

    Having already moved from the UK to the US at 2014, we understood that the procedure might be stressful and costly. We had had problems using the initial delivery firm not providing on time, and also the removals firm who had been supposed to deliver our belongings in the docks to us screwing up the shipping two before finally providing, and we afterward found the mattress frame had broken in transportation. We were searching to have a better evaluation and business on the road back.

    Our expertise coming back was beautifully different. Viking were excellent from start to finish.

    Joe talked to me a few times on the telephone to carry me through various elements of the quotation and what the procedure will involve. He was always respectful, genial, and simple to contact. His time quote was 6-10 months, however, he clarified what would affect it and exactly what we ought to expect at every stage. In the long run, it had been closer to 6 months than 10 and the shipping was dead on time daily.

    We reserved the”furniture & delicate” ceremony and the very nice gentleman arrived about the afternoon to carefully package all our wedding china, figurines, and even furniture. He made certain that everything was nicely padded and had attracted various unique gear to wrap items. His care was also rewarded. Nothing broke or has been damaged in transit. Everything arrived in excellent order. This comprised a saxophone, guitar, and a great deal of delicate stereo gear.

    We never plan to proceed so far again, but we’d heartily urge Viking to anybody searching for excellent rates and fantastic support.

    Thank you, Joe & all of your Viking coworkers, for carrying a lot of stress from an worldwide move. You definitely get 5 stars from us.

    Great physical movers, organizationally ok

    Well, most significantly all of my stuff made it to me with quite minimal harm or loss. I believe in total they lost a power cord and a lamp has been ruined. Not too bad for nearly 4,000 miles. The men that packaged everything did a fantastic job along with the men who unpacked it were not bad either. Organizationally lacking though – I wasn’t given advance notice once the stuff came so that I needed to leave work about an hour after I got there. Additionally, they didn’t communicate payment conditions and the way they calculated the prices because I had a couple of surprises. I am still waiting to hear back about what they will do in regards to the lamp harm…

    Long-distance move from New Jersey
    New Jersey to Vienna, Austria

    Summer is high proceeding period. We had many offers for transferring our loved ones out of New Jersey into Vienna, Austria. Time has been an important element.
    We requested for a 20′ shipping container to be moved and filled. All supplies were comparable, costs differed by less 1000.
    The choice to stay to Viking International Movers arrived back to the final minute when items needed to move quickly.
    Viking was in New York, in which global moving is normal. At the moment, it took over 1 week to get Joe to organize that the in house poll and transport. The packaging of this furniture and household things as well as also the loading of the container has been done in 1 day.
    In Vienna we waited patiently at a vacant flat. The local representative, UTL GmbH, contacted us early to prepare the paperwork for the customs clearance. The introduction of the container has been announced a week beforehand and then sent punctually.
    The container left our place at New Jersey around 6/16/2017 and has been in Vienna around 8/4/2017.
    I seen the sealing of the container along with also the breaking of the seal. The material appeared like it had abandoned.
    The packaging and packaging crews did an expert job, were quite favorable and tolerated and adapted our private fantasies. All items came in great form. Nothing was broken or damaged, though some boxes seemed somewhat squashed.
    Moving is no fun, but against all odds, Viking and UTL made it seem easy and also a favorable encounter.

    False Estimate- NYC to London

    My experience was like Jose’s. It started as an superb customer experience – considerate agents, speedy pickup of items, things carefully managed during pickup, however, the quote supplied was 6-8 months. So I proceeded to London with really mild bag given that I had been provided a quote of 6-8 months for my shipment to arrive. My shipment came after 12 months and that I had to call a number of times to ask of their whereabouts of my dispatch. Initially I had been told that it had been held at conventions for extra inspection that was untrue – that I supported with the British Presents that my cargo went through the standard customs procedure, no further review was completed. As a consequence of this delayed dispatch, I needed to devote considerable sum of money on winter clothes like I was not ready for the delay and it got quite cold in the united kingdom. Bottom line – DO NOT SAY IT TAKES 6-8 WEEKS IF It Doesn’t! This statement is deceptive. I know you can’t send a nearly empty container, but don’t fool your potential clients. Had I understood it might take around 3 weeks, I’d have ready for this! I’d have packaged distinct clothes. It’s unfair to supply quotes for example to entice customers.

    Nightmare Move

    I hired Viking since when [NAME EDIT] the proprietor came around to offer me my quotation, he looked so pleasant and knowledgable, reassuring me that the firm specialized in global movements and their support was the very best. Regrettably this wasn’t the situation. I transferred out of the NY region to Australia and doing this once before, I must have moved back into the first moving business I had used. For starters, my small 3 bedroom house took two days to bundle! What occurs when a home is demanded. They then packaged a live plant that was completey bewildering granted their standing in global movements, the employees ought to know that packaging any agricultural substance is an instant red flag in quarantine within another nation. Obviously , we had been slapped with quarantine fees to destroy the plant after it came in Sydney. To make things worse, we kept getting phone calls and emails around paying fees which weren’t disclosed upfront. After my items were sent to our house, we discovered many problems with the packaging. Things were thrown thickly to boxes, resulting harm. Furniture was scraped and dented. A extremely costly lamp that I repeatedly asked be wrapped into a box or some type of protection, came unwrapped. The movers at Australia were dumbfounded with this poor move. [EDIT]. I would strongly suggest staying away from the firm. [EDIT]

    Long-distance move from Hoboken, NJ
    Thanks Viking International

    I recently hired Viking International to transfer me along with my loved ones out of Hoboken into our new residence Auckland NZ. We called around a couple of different businesses and obtained quotations. Viking was not the cheapest or the most expensive – it came in at the center around $12500 for all. In the long run we picked them for their excellent customer service testimonials. They have been professional every step along the way and made sure we had no worries. They sent the container punctually plus a team of 4 had been packaging the exact same moment. We were really careful seeing them and my wife did a double checking to be certain that the valuables (we’ve some nice art and collectibles) were protected. The major factor for us was making sure that our possessions arrived before we did. I needed to begin work immediately and we could not afford a delay. I have read reports on here and other websites about people needing to remain in resorts and purchase new clothes because their things did not arrive in time. Viking gave us a delivery window of 2 days and we were glad that it came early on the first day. We were overdue in the airport so that my mother-in-law fulfilled the representative at our new property. She chased the move-in and stated that everything went smooth. God help Viking when she got angry:-RRB- There was no damage other than some clothes got tossed about, but I guess that this would be to be expected once you send items half way round the globe. Overall we’re thrilled. It was a simple transfer and we’re happy we picked Viking International.

    Great company

    Customer support was easy to take care of. Rates were fairly solid when comprehending the value and also the firms creditability. Perhaps not the least expensive option but also the speediest definitely. The movers corrected a couple of things that I packaged, only so everything will be protected. It was very cool to see that. Everything was delivered with no harm. I got a vibe from these men that they actually care about their clients. Would recommend to anyone moving globally.

    Careful of Hidden Fees

    Be very careful of Viking movers. They released a third party who charged me for extra products. The door to door service that they estimate is quite misleading. I needed to pay to get my merchandise, but perhaps you’ll be more fortunate.

    High Quality Service

    Locating Viking has been nothing short of magnificent. They’re extremely responsive and help you with everything from A to Z in regards to shipping your possessions overseas. I recently chose into Paris and contacted several moving companies to get the ideal fit. After I talked to Mike at Bay I understood I found my game. Legislation in NYC showed up in a brand new pristine truck and packaged everything securely for transportation. My container came earlier than anticipated and that which was in 1 piece! Price was definitely affordable and aggressive to other businesses in the region. Thank you Viking!

    Stress free move from NJ to Stockholm

    The team at Viking International are extremely experienced and knowledgeable. As soon as I contacted them I spoke with John seeing a little move to Sweden. I had been provided a sensible estimate and quite kind with all of the queries I had on what to anticipate. As it came to moving day all of movers that the were really nice too and managed all of my possessions with care. They were really understanding and packaged a few valuable things added carefully upon my petition. I obtained my container a couple of days sooner than expected which was clearly a massive plus. Movers in Stockholm were also very pleasant and careful with my belongings. After unpacking everything there was not a scrape or any kind of harm available. I strongly recommend to anybody.

    Rip Off

    I hired this business for Door to Door international moving! 1 STAR for quality of service and professionalism and 5 Stars for Scam Artist! Worse encounter ever. Ended up spending an extra 8,000 to really do it. Highly do not recommend them if you don’t desire a disaster and hassle. The sole real smooth part is that the money trade. Following that, nothing longer.

    Long-distance partial move from NY to Serbia

    We picked Viking International, after obtaining several quotes from different businesses, and Viking was among those best-rated businesses we can find. The quotation wasn’t a low-not also high.They were quite professional, always prompt with their replies.

    We were packaged tiny things in few boxes.The packaging of their furniture and household items along with also the loading of the container has been completed in half a day by quite oganized group of Viking employees. For us it was quite significant to move out boxes on time, since we lived at the major building and among lifts were scheduled for this day. Everything was coordinated and completed in time. All items came in great shape, nothing has been ruined or broken.Container arived in 8 months since we’re advised.

    Thank you Viking for exceptional service and good experience during proceeding.

    We highly recommend Viking Intnational to anybody.

    London Move

    My daughter was going out of Manhattan to London for college and we had to find someone immediately. A friend said Viking International – that they looked untrue and had a fantastic review. She did not have a great deal of stuff, possibly 20 boxes or so. Bottom line Viking was simple to handle – they ordered everything fast and her items arrived punctually – nothing was broken. I would highly suggest them for adhering to the program and being polite throughout.

    Zero Problems, Great Company

    Pros in a company filled with amateurs! I really don’t mean to be blunt but that I stumbled upon numerous businesses which were marketing international shipping that have not done no longer than 3 global movements annually. I know it is a rarity that people do not usually request but if I will utilize a service and cover tens of thousands that I wish to cover expertise!! And that’s exactly what Viking shown throughout my transfer to Paris. They managed every detail of this move. They maintained their promises on cost along with the ETA. They made a movement that felt really tricky even more manageable. Kudos to the entire staff here, notably the movers. You all did an wonderful job. Zero harm, Zero headaches.

    Good value, prompt shipping and communication

    I utilized Viking after two individual friends recommended their solutions. John was exceptionally courteous and professional on the telephone and walked me through the procedure and exactly what I would have to cover, and reacted quickly to follow up questions delivered via email. The group that arrived at our home to perform the movement proved very flexible with our program and both professional and courteous. (We had about 30 boxes to proceed, such as 11 of novels, and they had it all cleared out in about 15 minutes!) Handover between Viking and the European company was eloquent and everything arrived in good condition (like breakables). Would highly recommend!
