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.
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

Vykingship is by far the best Forwarder website for US shopping!
I tried 3 forwarders: Mymallbox, MyUS and Vykingship. Mymallbox was great at first but their service went downhill the past year so I changed to MyUS: exorbitant prices and they add extra fees everywhere for no reason.
My last try was Vykingship: the BEST forwarder I've ever tried! Their prices are reasonable and their customer service is absolutely great, best CS I have ever encountered! Plus, they have a live chat to help you at anytime. I chose the cheapest service « World tracked through Asendia ». It takes 15-20 days to France but I save a lot of money on shipping, duties and taxes! And the insurance is included in case my package is lost in transit. So far, Asendia never lost my packages, I cross fingers they will not in the future
Thank you so much Vykingship! Please keep offering the best quality forwarding and customer service! You're the best!

Yes, the website design might seem outdated, but the outstanding customer service is worth it.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!
Great service and prices
Terrible web design and features so much so that I wish to go back to my old more expensive shipper
My feedback on not having some basic information like what do the weights and the amounts on the package add up to was met with a stoic "it is what it is" from customer support
Great service, recommend them highly. Use Vyking Ship for private shopping, great support staff. Consolidation means REALLY small pacakegs!

The first time I truly experienced the customer service excellence was when I had few minutes call with Vykingship CS, they helped me with a complicated request that they don't have to do. The level of cooperation is phenomenal, I felt like I'm talking to my friend and I was so happy about it. However, it's too good to be true, isn't it? That's what I said; maybe the CS representative was professional and friendly, but it actually happened again with a different shipment few months later "yesterday" same level of support, professionalism, and empathy that 50 years old big companies can't beat.
KEEP IT UP GUYS
THANKS AGAIN FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
Tip for consumers:
Make sure your shipment doesn’t
contain Li-ion battery, or require certain documentation.
Products used:
It’s a shipments collection service, I received my collected shipments in perfect condition.
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
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 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
Vyking ship is the best and I've used other parcel forwarders before, customer service is top notch! Prices and 6 months of storage are the reason why I switched. I'm a proud loyal customer!
In the years I've used Vyking, they have been just awesome, including handling non-standard requests. Fast, efficient, easy to use service
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.
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)

•They consolidate packages to the smallest possible size to minimize shipping costs
•The pricing is reasonable and they offer a wide range of courier options including FedEx, DHL and USPS
•Packages will be shipped on the same day you order them
•A courier lost some of my packages and they found them for me!

•They offer a range of useful additional services and will accommodate special requests for a reasonable fee
•The website is easy to use

I live in Australia and had to use a shipping and warehousing service to take advantage of much cheaper inter-America shipping rates for small/media packages. I put together a large package of about 60 records and they were packaged together in an extremely sturdy format. It was 10 records together for each stack, bubble wrapped around 3 cardboard cutouts (1 in the middle). This was all surrounded by packing pellets. There were no issues with damage and the mostly free warehousing with photos is absolutely great.
Great services, only pay what you are needed. Use my Suite Number to get $5 coupon on your first shipping, it's good to save money. Suite *******.
After reading about the issues with so many other mail forwarding services, I have to say that I am very pleasantly surprised by Vyking Ship. So far, I've had Vyking Ship process six parcels and never had a problem with them.
The customer service is top-notch and very responsive, and they work very quickly as well. I've also since tried using their consolidation services and the package arrived well-packed and intact, and the box was a very reasonable size. They also calculate the price for the consolidated package and offer several different options for delivery (I mostly use USPS and FedEx).
I would definitely recommend this company and will continue using their services.

Vyking Ship have helped me with several shipments to Australia. Their service is fast, efficient and reasonably priced. I recommend them unreservedly.
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.
Fabulous experience. The ability to keep package for a long time before shipping, is fantastic. Professional services. Highly recommended.
I'm absolutely satisfide with their services! They are really effective and professional! I recommend this Company 100%!
Efficient and Amazing service! Vyking Ship deserves 6 stars and more. They are up in every aspect of their business.
I more than highly recommended Vyking.
Go and make your account. The best experience Ive had in package forwarding.
Fast consolidations, great support. I hope it keeps in that way for a long time.
They combined all of my 11 packages in a very short time and surprisingly shipped in the same day.
Very reasonable fees and friendly customer support. Will definitely continue to use their service.
They offer customer based solutions from package consolidation options to special instructions.
I worked with many other shipping services this is the far best for the moment.
First time with a shipping forwarder service, i feel like i have total control of my packages.
Tip for consumers:
If this will be your first with a shipping forwarder service this will be defiantly the one you will not be disappointed.
Vyking Ship offers a free USA based address to where our customers can have their US purchases shipped.
We offer an array of services (such as consolidating multiple packages into one box, re-sizing packages, taking pictures of contents, checking the contents against an invoice, and completing the customs declaration) to help save our customers time and money.
We also offer a purchase assistance option for those customers who are unable to make purchases online.
And finally, when our customers are ready to ship their package, we ship their packages to wherever they may be in the world using USPS and FedEx as our shipping carriers while offering discounted postage rates.
With experience in international package forwarding Clinton brought the know-how to run the day to day of the business and merged it with his absolute certainty that what the industry needed was a Customer First mentality. Too many reviews spell out the sad state of affairs in the industry: customer service is nowhere near the priority that it needs to be. Forwarding companies should treat their customers like the life-blood that they are and understand that the constant churn of customers, as they bounce from forwarder to forwarder, is a very bad indicator that something is wrong.
After 2 years of planning the services and offerings, and developing a website to fit our goal of a simple layout with clearly communicated information, we officially launched our site in November of 2014. Since then we have been gaining traction and doing what we can to make our customers the happiest customers in the industry.
