“This review request said: "When you get a free moment, we would love it if you could let us know how we are doing! Simply click below to leave us a brief review of your recent Rum Box". I never received a Rum Box. There is obviously something wrong with your review requests! I did receive a Gin Box and have already received a request to write a review on Trust Pilot. However, that Gin Box arrived without the info/recipe sheet about the gin and cocktail of the month. Altogether, not very clever this month!”

Hi Yvonne, Thanks so much for your feedback, and we're really sorry for the mix-up! It looks like the subject line of our review email mentioned a Rum Box in error, definitely not what we intended, and we completely understand the confusion. Thanks for flagging it! We also want to make sure you get the full Craft Gin Club experience, so we’d love to help with the missing info/recipe card from your Gin Box. Just pop us a message at members@craftginclub.co.uk and our Memberships Team will get that sorted for you right away. Thanks again for your support and for giving us the chance to put things right. Kind Regards, Sophie Memberships Executive

“Enjoy the variety of gin supplied; sometimes disappointed in the accompanying snacks but overall - ok. Loved The Drinks Bakery biscuits in this month's box. Enjoyed them so much, I've looked at their website and placed an order!!”

“Awful. Was silly enough to sign up for an offer and am now 'a member' and having payments taken from my credit card. Had no notification of the amount, no contact or no opportunity to cancel. Haven't even signed up for an account with them. Please be aware.”

Hi Jo, When you sign up for one of our offers, it does begin an ongoing membership this is clearly stated during the sign-up process, and we follow up with a series of emails outlining what to expect, including your membership details and upcoming payment dates. We understand it can be frustrating if these emails were missed or ended up in your spam folder, and we’re sorry for any confusion this may have caused. You can cancel your membership at any time from your Members Area, but if you didn’t complete account setup or are having trouble accessing your account, please don’t worry just email us at members@craftginclub.co.uk and we’ll help you sort everything out quickly, including cancellation or returns if needed. Kind Regards, Sophie Memberships Executive

“Have really enjoyed my Gin membership for the last 6 years but decided that it was time to cancel. Hard to find process and eventually forced to call anyway. On hold for quite a while and then answered by what appeared to be a call centre with masses of back ground noise and person said he couldn't hear me clearly. Re asked questions that are asked online before you are then asked to call...all a bit disappointing end to what has been an enjoyable experience over the years.....”

We'll be sure to pass along your feedback surrounding this to the appropriate teams so that we can prevent any issues such as this from happening again and improve our member experience!

“It appeared I was making a purchase, but the email confirmation said it was a subscription. This wasn't clear when I bought the item. The company put multiple barriers in the way of cancelling the subscription, from failing webpages, to repeated emails and finally forcing me to call, where they tried to convince me I wanted a subscription I never signed up for. Never shopping via Bright HR again!”

“Cancellation process cannot be done online and after several confirmations it forces you to call them. The line has been busy every time I try. There is no way it should be this complicated in today's modern world. I had a run subscription. The first bottle was very good, the next not good and the last two middling. Would have been 3 stars without the ridiculous cancellation procedures they use.”

“Been with craft gin for a while now and only bugbear I have is that you don’t have the choice of any other mixers. Not everyone likes tonics. You can put a lemonade in every once in a while, so why not give us non tonic drinkers the choice of this with our monthly subscription. Have emailed company about this previously and reply was “ we will let the team know”. Might sound trivial to some, but when you have a build up of tonics you don’t use and are paying for, just seems pointless.”

Hi Donna, thank you so much for the feedback! We are sorry that the mixers aren't to your taste, whilst we do like to provide the alternative mixers for people to try if they aren't the biggest fan of tonics we understand that it can still be a bit frustrating having a drink that you don't like being included in your box. Whilst we aren't able to provide customisation for the contents of the box at this stage, hopefully we are able to provide an alternative subscription or box in the future that is more suited to your taste. Kind regards, Chaney Customer Service Team Member

“I purchased a taster box with a coupon code and two days later got billed for a regular monthly subscription with no confirmation email stating I joined the club. It is very dishonest and extremely difficult to cancel any membership. Customer services has a preference for automated responses.”

“Clicked a voucher for this product through another retailer. Didn’t realise I was signing up for regular deliveries. They advised me on the cut off date that they were sending a box. Could sign into member area to cancel. Emailed company and someone from company did get back to me to advise me it was too late to cancel. Feeling ripped off.”

“Have been using the craft gin club for 2 years and always had excellent service and of course gin. Sadly the delivery service by EVRI today was poor and unprofessional, the courier left the parcel by my front door making no attempt to ring the doorbell bell, we were in at the time. This was captured on our ring doorbell”

“Just received the February gin box, and so disappointed in the snack selection. Really took the shine off the gin. This was supposed to be the valentine box, sadly not a heart in sight. I used to look forward to the boxes every month, but I am now sadly thinking of leaving the gin club.”

Hi Deana, Thank you for reaching out and for sharing your feedback. I'm really sorry to hear that your February box didn’t meet your expectations, especially as it was meant to embody Valentine's. We truly value your opinion and are always looking to improve. While we can't reveal all the snacks just yet, I can tell you that we curated a selection to pair perfectly with the gin offering, including a classic strawberries and cream treat, as well as a snack with unexpected aphrodisiac qualities, perfect for the Valentine's! As always, we appreciate you sharing your thoughts with us. Kind regards, Yasmine Customer Service Team Leader
