Value for money is extremely poor these days. Rewards system is terrible. I've got 4,000 points that I can't use as I'm not spending £100 on top of what I'm already paying for the box and you can't combine the free items would your subscription box. They offer no pause option online. I forgot to cancel one box and emailed them immediately and they refused to honour it despite explaining I was in financial difficulty at the time. This really isn't a great subscription management experience. Other subscriptions offer much better control, flexibility and rewards systems. Think I'm about done so will be definitely pausing, maybe cancelling if it doesn't look like the flexibility, value or rewards improves.

Hi Amy, We're sorry to hear you missed the deadline for the upcoming box. As always, we never want you to be stuck with a box you don't want. We give you 30 days to return the box for a full refund. If you drop an email to our memberships team at members@craftginclub.co.uk, we'll be happy to send you the guide on how to do this. We also offer the option to pause your membership, you can also do this via email! Kind regards Yasmine Customer Service Team Leader

It’s a great novelty and a nice way to try new gins, but they tend to repeat a lot of things which isn’t so great. The delivery isn’t that reliable either, even with thirst class.

I love the gins but very disappointed with the snacks as everything is catered for vegans an vegetarians I feel you are discriminating against people that enjoy meat products crisps an nuts very flavourless.

I bought the first rum box but I didn't think much of the rum, it didn't inspire me to buy more rum boxes.

After becoming a member of the craft gin club. My husband being a rum drinker was really excited when you announced you were going to issue a rum box. (He seen how pleased and excited i was on receiving mine). On receiving his rum box he got just as excited as my self. But on tasting it using the recommended recipe and mixer in the booklet he was really disappointed. The nominate flavour seemed to be more whiskey than rum. He felt that being the first rum box there could have been a better choice.

Hi, unfortunately, the Rum sent was not to my liking at all. The flavour of the rum was like something created in a laboratory rather than a barrel and just did not work with the spiced flavouring. It may well taste very nice on a cocktail but it's not something that I would try. I have marked this bottle for giving away at the earliest opportunity.

I used to love the gin club but now I feel the price has become prohibitive to me continuing to purchase.

I have been a member for 3 years now. I purchase it for my Mum each month and she is happy with the gin, the booklets and the snacks each month. She is unaware of the cost so is unsure of the value but she is happy with what she receives so Im happy with that. I only logon to the website on occasion when I top up her monthly box or I purchase other gins/mixers for a special occasion. In the past the points could be exchanged for money off your order. Now you need to spend a certain amount in order for your points to be worth anything. I would need to spend £100 to get £20 off my order and would also be deducted 2000 points. This must be a recent change as it was never the case in the past. I also receive many more marketing emails and notice more upsells. I logged in to the site today and noticed there are now 25 domains making a connection to my browser just visiting the website! It seems like they are now just concerned with making more money instead of in the past when it seemed like more of a passion for gin lovers. I will be testing a few alternatives now to see if I get more value for my money as there are tons of alternatives nowadays and it seems they no longer offer anything unique, they are just like all the other big brands trying to take a little bit more of your money and sharing your data with every Tom, Dick n Harry on the internet.

First order April 2023 using the 60% discount. Starting with the positives. Snacks contained within the box are quality as are the mixers. Gin was a disappointment tho, very bland and generic. Will give another month a go and make a decision as for £42 per month you can get some great gins on offer for £25-30 and top up with plenty of mixers for the same price. Jury’s out

After receiving a year's subscription for my 40th birthday I was so sad for it to come to an end! To my complete shock, my husband bought me another year's subscription for my joint birthday and Christmas gift, I was thrilled, that was until I received my first box. This was a 'welcome box' which consisted of a Christmas gin and snacks that I had received through the previous year. I emailed to query and was reassured that this was a welcome box and I would still receive my January box. My January box didn't arrive and when I questioned why, I was told that the welcome box was in it's place! To say I am disappointed is an understatement 😞. Firstly I was given false information and the welcome box appeared to be used up treats from last year, needless to say...I won't be renewing for next year!

I’ve been a CGC member for about 2 years and up until recently I would of given them 5 stars however recently their customer service has completely gone down hill. There dec ‘22 booster box should of contained 3 cocktails syrups it contained only 1 ( not the 3 as stated during ordering) one can of pop was sent in replacement. This goes against trading standards and can be classed IMHO as Theft! I’ve tried emailing several times but they are refusing to sent out the missing syrups saying they don’t have any, which is rubbish as on their online shop they’re available in a bundle, so that’s a lie. I’ve spoken to TS who have advised me this is law breaking, but as they won’t budge there’s not much that can be done. FACT!!! They have done this to EVERY CUSTOMER, That ordered the booster box. Every member that purchased the booster box got only 1 cocktail syrup instead of the 3 that they paid for. Some members didn’t get any. A can of pop was sent as a replacement. Can you imagine the money they have saved. £6.66 for 2 syrups and it cost maybe 80p for a can of pop. That’s £5 on every single box! they have pocketed. I’m so shocked. They customers service used to be excellent. But the last few months it’s useless. It’s like they don’t care anymore. So disappointed!

Was a good box but for me there was too much going on in the box to do like with making a cocktail which personally isn’t for me the makers need to be able to give the customer there own personalised box that way u then don’t throw things away because u won’t use it which is throwing money down the drain

I've only received half of my order today. I ordered and paid for 2 bottles of Schofe's winter gin but only one bottle arrived today. What is more frustrating is the only way of contacting is by email. What has happened to providing good customer service by means of a telephone number. I'm now thinking about cancelling my membership.

Hi Len! I'm so sorry to see that you haven't received everything you ordered, that's by no means our usual standard. I can see that my colleague Amy got back to you via email yesterday to let you know that the missing part of the order has been resent. Again, huge apologies for the missing gin! We do have a few people on over the weekend to ensure anything urgent is picked up, but as Amy explained, we're not currently set up for phone calls, especially over the weekend. I really appreciate your feedback, and I'll make sure to take this up internally. We always strive for the best possible experience, even when we've made a mistake, so your comments are much appreciated. If you need anything else, just let us know - we're happy to help! Kind regards Trine Head of Customer Service

I am a Gin collector and drinker with over 300. The Gins are great but the other items are not. The crisps are very disappointing and don’t compliment the Gin! Sorry but you need to do some more research what about olives or cheese to go with the Gin. Thanks Ian
