Viking Enterprises

Ordered two composite 'faux marble' tables bases in January 2016 and paid for them at the time. ($1200 +/-)

1st set took several months to make. Unacceptable to Viking and were to be remade.

2nd set got 'lost on loading dock' for another few months !!! Finally shipped ...

Arrived in cardboard box with flimsy wood trim, one had compression fracture.

It is now November and they won't send a refund or pick up their junk...asking ME to consider that they paid to make and ship and would then 'be out' their costs !

I replied that that was the cost of being a cheap crook...just not so CHEAP.

I ordered a dragon letter opener. First, the item I ordered was no longer in stock.

Therefore, before I had the chance to approve a substitute, they chose to give me a substitution on their own and shipped it. I was charged. I received the item. It was not the item I ordered and was not an acceptable substitution.

From then on, there was nothing but problems. One, good luck getting anyone on the phone. It takes ten tries to get through one time, and that is leaving voicemails for them as well, which they never return. When I finally got someone, I tried to exchange their substitute for the item that I originally wanted.

I was told, no problem. Call back in a month and we should have it. I called back. Nothing.

I was delayed again. I called back. Nothing. I finally got irritated in February 2015...months after the initial order...by the way; they have been paid back in 12/2014.

I wanted a refund. No such luck. We will get back to you...Another month goes by and nothing. I call...nothing!

I finally ship the incorrect item back to them for a refund. I just want my money back. I do not want to have anything else to do with this company. I ship it.

I track it to the delivery, at their door, confirmed! No refund. I call. No refund.

I call again...we will get back to you! It has been absolutely ridiculous! All I want is my money back and to never see them again.

However, I cannot even get that. In addition, they have the product.

Hello there, i just wanted to comment on what EXCELLENT customer service you had and only wish more places had the same, i called a few days ago about the butterflies and didnt expect to hear back but the customer service represenative Thor Johnson called me back and was VERY polite, kind, and was very accurate in answering my questions i needed to know about your wonder product. I absolutely love the luna moth and since i was not able to get and raise live ones you have given me a chance to enjoy them in the most realistic way possible without being alive. I plan on wearing it and showing it off and perhaps be able to help you sell more of these awesome electronic creations. I also plan on getting some for my little sisters and mother for Christmas. Thank you so much.

I found Viking Enterprises, www.statuesculptures.com, online to make a customized fireplace relief. I placed the order on May 18, 2013.

In order to get a discount, the owner Thor Johnson (or Johnsen) said I had to pay by cashier's check. I expected the product within 6 weeks. He cashed my check and have not heard from him since. I have emailed and called consistently and nothing.

Based on my attorney's feedback, I am filing a mail fraud complaint with the United States Postal Inspection office.

DO NOT TRUST HIM!

DO NOT ORDER FROM HIM or ANYONE AT HIS COMPANY. The company aliases are Dreamcatcher Global, Marble Classics, Dragon Art and Statue Sculptures.

I placed an order for two different items from Wings in Motion/ Viking Enterprise well over a month ago. The promise made on their website as well as my invoice was 3-4 days to process and 4-7 days for delivery, it has been well beyond that and I have received nothing!

No response to my multiple emails, no one has answered the multiple voicemails i have left. They not only have horrible customer service, its actually non existent! They sure didn't hesitate to charge my card right away...

This company is fraud, will take your money and leave you with nothing. DO NOT buy product from this company they are THIEVES!

I placed an order 33 days ago for an electronic dragonfly and accessories. My CC was immediately charged and I heard nothing from them since placing my order.

I tried to follow up on my order by e mailing them 3 times ..... NO RESONSE.

I also called theire toll free number ....only to get voicemail .... left message .....My call was never returned.

WHERE IS THE CUSTOMER SERVICE ?????

WHER TF IS MY ORDER??????

This is the worst shopping and lack of customer service I have ever experienced.

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY .... unless you want to have you money tied up for over a month.

Call your CC company and report this company to them and have your CC charges reversed.

I ordered framed and mounted exotic butterflies, "in stock," from Wings in Motion, aka Viking Enterprises, aka DREAMCATCHER GLOBAL,Canoga Park (aliases are appropriate) as a Valentine's Day present in late January, with the promise of a couple of day turnaround on the order and a few days postal transit. Company happily billed my card for product.

Many calls and Emails and 2 months later, no product: "Out of stock" supposedly-- a substitute consolation butterfly sent to calm me down as a ruined post-V Day sop. Many messages, many calls, no response. Fraud?

Do not purchase items from these people. Skip vikingnet, skip Wings in Motion, skip Dreamcatcher Global, skip www.african-butterfly-home-decorating.com.

Don't fall victim to Viking Enterprises or any of his affiliate companies (Winging in Motion, Dragon Art, Marble Classics) you will never get your product and no one will answer the customer service number.

I ordered the Dragon Chess Board from the Dragon Art Site Nov 20,2009 through Pay Pal. I found it strange that I received no contact from Viking Enterprises, so I emailed them and called and got no response until i filled out a dispute form on PayPal. This actually got a response out of the company, and I received a polite email as well as had the owner Thor Johnsen called me personally. I found him to be articulate and convincing. DON' BE FOOLED. Its just a stall tactic.

At this point it was a week and a half since my order and he told me that they could not release the item from there shipping department until the dispute was closed and a tracking number would be provided in the next few days. I told him that after my purchase and not hearing from them, that I had found these complaint boards and he assured me that his company was legit and that they where striving to have a better reputation. He was so convincing, I closed the dispute. Later found out, once you close a dispute on pay pal you can not open another one, on the same purchase. Which he more than likely knew. Days later, no tracking numbers where received, emailed and emailed, called and no one answers, or returns a call. I knew I would at this point not get a response, unless I did something. So emailed and informed them that I was informing my Credit Union of fraudulent charges on my account. This of course finally got a response hours later. Received a polite email letting me know that tracking numbers would be provided by Friday Dec 4th. And I have to give them some credit, because i actually got the tracking numbers provided to me on December 4th as promised . At this point i was relieved and thought , thank goodness finally. The tracking numbers turned out to be valid, but it only showed that U.S. Postal Service was electronically notified by the shipper to expect my package for mailing. I waited the 2-5 days, checking the progress of my package. The notification never changed. They had notified the post office of the package, but never gave the package to them. Another stall tactic to keep you waiting, hoping they can prolong things long enough so that you can not dispute the charges on your card. its sad, and pathetic that companies can still get away with this for so long. I felt *** for not researching before I made my purchase, but I saw the price and thought I would save some money buying it from Viking Enterprises instead of other sites I found the same exact chess board. My mistake, don't let it be yours. Its not worth the time, the stress and the hassle of dealing with this company. Now I need to explain to my son, that his primary Christmas gift will not be under the tree. Even if I order from a reputable company it will not come on time.

The owner of this business, Thor Johnsen has a civil judgement against him for over $1000 for his deceptive and misleading advertising practice and breach of contract. He has not paid this court judgement and is in default and subject to arrest. To date, 11/16/2008 he has ignored the court.

I repeat, DO NOT trust him nor buy from this company or any of his susidiaries including Viking Enterprises. He has many complaints against him at the Better Business Bureau for similar things. Dont let this happen to you!

He agreed to refund my money then kept delaying until the 60 day credit card complaint period ended and then he said he wouldnt. Hes a snake...be careful. He has disregarded me and the court that ordered him to pay a judgement.
