“I signed up off the back of a promotion for a discounted box. The box didnt come, and was then charged another £45 for a subsequent box. Tried to cancel the membership, can't do it online and so had to phone. Very pushy sales tactics when trying to cancel. Customer service is poor.”

“THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND WON'T CARE ABOUT YOU!!! They said they couldn't cancel my payment today even though the box hasn't left their premises, and I will lose a box and £45 because I won't be home. This situation feels more like a scam than a business that cares about its customers. DON'T FALL FOR THIS TRAP!”

“If something goes wrong with a delivery they will not speak to you. Only available phone number is for cancellations only (apparently the people on that line do not know of any other number for the business). 12 days since order so far & no delivery”

“Have been a member for years and am utterly shocked by recent customer services - it’s basically non existent . I’ve emailed several times to say my delivery arrived leaking and was rejected and they just don’t reply. It’s two weeks on - makes me wonder what’s happened to them ?”

Hi Baz, Thank you so much for your feedback. Unfortunately, as we are still such a small team, we don't currently use a phone line - we simply wouldn't be able to keep up with the volume of calls that we would receive. Introducing a phone line is definitely something that we would like to do as we grow, but for now, we feel that we can provide better service via email. Our team is always available via email at members@craftginclub.co.uk, and we aim to respond to all queries within 48 hours. Please do get in touch with us so we can ressolve any issues. Kind regards, Yasmine Customer Service Team Leader

“Poor website. Taster box was poor. Can't see when my next box is going to be delivered. Gin not that great and better ones in the supermarket at a better price. No reviews of gin, cant return if you don't like. Look at all the one star reviews.”

“This company are a total scam do not use. I paid for the trial box and then they took £45 without any prior warning from my bank account over a month ago. Still no box has arrived. I've tried several times to make contact to be told its coming next week with Evri. Still no sign. I am reporting them to my bank to try and stop anymore payments being taken. There is no where on the website to cancel the subscription but I have just tried to go back on to find a phone number and it's telling me to rejoin ? No 👎 total scam.”

“Took the £5 tester box and have ended up with an unwanted subscription. Gin club make it ridiculously more difficult to cancel the subscription by having to call a phone line during office hours instead of just being able to do it on the website.”

“Had an issue with damage to my introductory box. Tried contact as recommended via several emails (no response), website form (no response) and website feedback (guess what? no response). All over several weeks. Happy enough with the quality of the product so far, but extremely unhappy with non-existent customer service. Why is getting your customer service right so difficult???”

“I ordered the initial trial box and paid for postage which was fine, however I never completed the registration to agree to the monthly subscription. Today I've had an email to say £45 is taken from my account! No prewarning email to advise of the intended payment otherwise I would have cancelled. I am really disappointed in this company and like others wish I'd have read the reviews first. Regards, Louise”

“Wish I had seen all the negative reviews before signing up. Was offered as a free taster box through a Vodafone rewards service. However, this then forces you to sign up for an expensive subscription. In order to cancel the subscription you have to phone a number and wait on hold for a long time to speak to someone. This is very shady, clearly intended to make it difficult for people to cancel their subscription. Avoid!”

“I forgot to pause my order prior to the deadline and was charged for a gin box. I asked for a refund and to cancel the order the day after the money came out of my account, prior to the order being dispatched, as I am struggling for money this month. They refused to issue a refund. Surely this goes against consumer rights and if not it is just downright morally unsound. I have now cancelled my membership based on poor customer service”

“I signed up for a sampler box, never activated my account and was hit with a 45 card charge that I never authorised. I couldn't possibly cancel the order as I never had an account activated. When asking Customer Services for help, they sent me a "reset" password email, but it came up as "activate your account" for the reasons stated above. This is a very weird business practice and I'm not 100% sure of how honest this company is. Calling a landline that nobody answers to in order to get help is also bizarre. I would like my full refund immediately.”

But other than email you cannot contact them so they have my money and I have no Gin! I have been a member about 3 years and up until this they have always replied within a day. I enjoy receiving the boxes, but something has gone wrong now.Roger”
