“I have enjoyed some fine and exciting gins from CGC. Unfortunately I have now cancelled my membership as it’s too expensive for me to continue given my pensioner status. Thank you.”

“I became a member after receiving a gift of a year's supply by my son. I enjoyed it so much that I continued membership in my own right a couple of years ago. I look forward to the monthly box with great anticipation not least to sample the range of 'extras' included. I'm not particularly interested in the cocktail mixers so I pass these on. Personally I would prefer to have another tonic water instead. The monthly magazine is of a high standard and a fascinating extra. I wish the CGC all the best.”

“I do enjoyed this amazing Gin & Rum on every month, always something very different that any boring from off licence and supermarket shelves, love it the snacks and the magazines. I've been member of CGC since September 2019 and always looking forward coming in the post and just like Christmas 👍🏻😁👍🏻”

“Decent product but tricky to cancel once you get started despite being very easy to order more online. Call to their customer service required between usual business hours.”

“This is a SCAM, do not sign up, if you cancel the keep taking monies from your account and won’t stop. They remove your membership di you can’t log in to stop the charges. DO NOT USE THEY ARE THIEVES.”

“I've had boxes on and off from this company for a whole and thought they were a decent company. Sadly, I'm finding them very disappointing. They sent a message saying they'd taken payment for a box I emailed the same day I got the email to ask to cancel but was told the cut off to cancel was the 22nd I emailed on the 23rd the date they sent the email to say funds had been taken. They won't stop the box or refund me even though they won't be posted out for days yet. Money is more important to them than customer service. It was the email that reminded me I needed to cancel so maybe they need to consider when they send out the email. It needs to be a couple of days before cut of to cancel to enable people that wish to cancel the time to do so. Also quality not as.good. The treat are now very wacky flavours so often don't get used or binned. Such a shame as.i would have gone back after a.few months but not now. Look at other companies out there before joining this one.”

Hi Jacqui, We're sorry to hear you missed the deadline for the upcoming box. We charge all members on the same day each month to avoid any confusion. As always, you're never stuck with a box so if you'd like to drop us an email at members@craftginclub.co.uk we'd be more than happy to talk you through our simple returns process. Kind Regards, Yasmine Customer Service Team Leader

“They make it very difficult to cancel your subscription. The only way to do so is to call; I was left on hold for 20 minutes only for the line to go dead. When I did get through to an agent I was interrogated as to why I wanted to cancel, pressured to listen to all the 'great offers' I'd be missing out on and told it takes 48 hours to process the cancellation!? When I asked for some sort of assurance of cancellation I was informed they're unable to offer anything other than verbal confirmation. Here's hoping I receive a cancellation email soon as I'd hate to go though the whole process again. Having read other reviews on here, I'm not sure it'll be so easy.”

“I bought my first box as a present for Mother's Day, I just wanted this as a one-off box and used a discount. I paid for my box and didn't create/activate any account assuming if I didn't activate the account it wouldn't start a subscription as I never signed up for a subscription. The following month I received an email saying thank you for your payment, they automatically took payment. Once I realised, I sent an email asking for a refund as I didn't even know I was signed up for a full-on subscription. Assuming that as I replied within a day that it should be fine, I was then told that the date to cancel had already passed, I didn't know I was even getting a box so how was I meant to cancel. I appreciate I may have overlooked some parts but not allowing a refund on the 23rd of the month prior when it isn't even sent out until at least a week after the next month is atrocious.”

“I was originally happy with Craft Gin Club. When I was given a voucher for free boxes I was sent 2 of the same boxes but they luckily stopped one. In June 2023 I was charged despite trying to cancel the subscription they sent and charged for the box anyway. In September 2023 the same thing happened and I told them to cancel the order, refund and the cancel the subscription. They said they could not cancel the order despite having done so in the past. Completed the cancellation survey and assumed that was it. Today I have been charged £45 yet again despite serval requests to cancel the subscriptions which were acknowledged. Do not sign up!!”

“I love the surprises in the gin box each time and the way it gives you everything you need for a g&t, cocktail and snacks to keep you going. It’s so interesting to read the stories behind the gins and to learn more about the other products. I would never get to try such a variety of different gins if it wasn’t for the club.”
