They charged my card for the initial deposit for 120 Dollars and never returned my money even after I canceled the service.

I approached Viking Transport to pick my car up in March 2nd week. I am already in California and hence I did not have any time constrains to have the vehicle picked. My friend was holding my car for me in Virginia.

After almost a month, Viking came back asking for more money.
This time 970 Dollars. Initially I was not happy but contacting few people i came to know that my car will never be picked for 720 Dollars and hence was ok, but this time i wanted my car to be picked in a weeks’ time.



No development from Viking's end and i had to cancel my agreement with Viking on April 17th.


It’s been 4 months since my card was charged for 120 Dollars of deposit and still Viking did not Respond back with returning my deposit.

I am sure that Viking will reply back with some crap to this post. I will be reaching out to FMCSA and raise a complaint against Viking.

WE ARE NOT CHEATS!!!!! WE MADE FULL EFFORT TO MOVE YOUR CAR. THE TRAFFIC FROM VA - CA HAD CALLED FOR HIGHER RATES DUE TO THE PROBLEM IN CA WHERE THE TRAFFIC WAS VERY LOW AND THE TRUCKERS HAD TO COMPETE BY TAKING VEHICLES AT A VERY LOW RATE, HOWEVER, THEY HAD TO MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE FOR CARS LEAVING THE EAST COAST. THIS SHIPMENT WAS OVER 3000 MILES. WHEN WE REALIZED THE PROBLEM WE CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER BECAUSE ONE OF THE TRUCKS REQUIRED MORE MONEY. WE ARE DOING THIS 10 YEARS AND ARE VERY UPFRONT WITH OUR CUSTOMERS. WE DEFINITELY TRY TO SATISFY ALL, HOWEVER, ONCE IN A WHILE SOMETHING DOESN'T WORK OUT AS QUOTED. OUR APOLOGIES EVEN THOUGH YOU AGREED TO NON REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT, VIKING HAS REFUNDED YOUR MONEY IN FULL.
