I have used them for my move from Florida to my family in London. The crew who packed my goods was amazing, friendly and very efficient. The goods have arrived as planned and the delivery crew did a great job. All items came in good condition. Thanks for everything.

Great experience. We were able to schedule a moving date within a week, in the busy (moving) month of May. They ship regularly and gave me the best quote. Communication with [Name removed by Sirelo] was pleasant, I always got a reply fast. The items were carefully packed, we were impressed by the professionalism of [Names removed by Sirelo]. Would definitely recommend!

Thanks to our Sirelo search, we went with Viking International for a move from the US to France, and were very happy with their services! their communication and customer service were great, the movers who picked up and delivered our things at either end of the move were super professional...everything arrived sooner than we expected, and intact! They weren't the cheapest of the options we found on Sirelo...but we started to negotiate with one of the cheaper ones, who then started insisting on this or that additional charge, and it started to feel pretty shady. We felt like Viking were always very upfront and clear about about their services, which we really appreciated!

The moving crew was great. However, everything to do with the office was a complete disaster:

1) The quote: I explained to them multiple times that my employer would only reimburse up to the amount quoted so I asked them to be generous with the quote. After they gave me their quote, I thought it was a bit low and asked to add a $3k buffer (for an expedited international move). After the move, it turned out that the quote WITH the $3k buffer I asked to add, was still $5k below the actual cost and I had to pay $5k out of pocket under my employer's rules.

2) The time: They told me an expedited international move would take 3-4 weeks for my destination. It took 7 weeks. I don't fault them for how long it took but for the massively wrong estimate (same as with the quote).

3) The insurance: Several items arrived broken, two items did not arrive at all (which is significantly more damage than during my last three international moves). When I submitted the insurance claim, they slow walked the process and only agreed to cover about half the damage. During six weeks of negotiations and discussions, they refused to share my insurance policy with me - I have now been reimbursed for part of the damage and still have not seen my insurance policy.

Bottom line: I strongly advise against using Viking.

Thanks to the guys [Names removed by Sirelo] we just had an amazing professional stress-free move from our New York home to our new home in Byron Bay NSW all 385 items and we are absolutely struck by the handling and packing performed by the crew. This was not
and easy move out of our 57th St. westside apartment loading container on a rainy day from the 18th flr. flat we lived in. Our shipment arrived after 3 months and delivered by Vikings agent who handled everything from quarantine inspection, release, unpacking setting up apartment furniture. Viking clearly knew what they were doing. So yes 110% recommend you use this company for your move
