“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.”

I'm so sorry to hear you missed the deadline for cancelling the July box! Not to worry - you have 30 days to return the box if you'd prefer to skip it this month. Kind regards Trine Head of Customer Service

“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”

“Received my first box at Christmas as a gift from my daughters, loved it so much I joined the club myself. Love that you receive gins that I wouldn’t normal buy along with complementing mixers and syrups and the magazine is great.”

“I've been a member for three years, and enjoy the interesting gins, edible treats and magazine which arrive 4 times a year. Being a purist, I'm not much into the cocktails as I feel they detract from the artisan quality of some of the gins. A puzzle for me though is the rewards scheme....I have amassed 3930 points, which can only be redeemed against specific minimum value purchases, (starting at £50 - most bottles are less than this) and approximates to a discount of 10%. The air miles equivalent of this seems to be that I have enough points to get me from London to New York, but they chuck me out in Dublin.... So it's not a good scheme, and my points will remain sadly unused”

Hi Christopher! Thank you so much for your lovely review, we really appreciate your feedback. We have recently launched our 'Points for Products' option, which is a range of items that would be free against X points. The range is shown on the member's account when you click on the 'Rewards' tab. You'd need to place a paid order to redeem a free item, but there's no minimum spend on the paid order. Hope this is helpful!

“Nice little surprise in a cardboard box”

“I took up the introductory welcome offer of receiving my first Craft Gin Pack at a reduced cost. I received an email on 29th December 2022 telling me that my order and payment were received, and a further email telling me it was being packed on the 2nd January. The email also informed me that I would get an email once shipped. The shipping advice email was never received and the box never received so I questioned its status via email on 27th Jan 2023. 25 days after confirmation of packing. I was told it must have been shipped and lost in transit, however if that was the case, I should have received an email with confirmation of shipping and tracking details. I was therefore offered a refund which I accepted and as this was a welcome pack, my assumption was that my membership was cancelled. I was then informed by email on 23rd March that a shipment for £42 has now been prepared for me. I immediately replied, within 4 hours of receipt, and told them I did not want the box and please refund my money. On the 24th March, I was told it was too late to cancel as this had to be done by the 22nd March. I did not believe I was still in the club. I further immediately advised that they did not understand, I do not want the package. Today, 28th March, I was told I could return the box as long as it is in a re-sellable condition. I do not have any intention of opening the consignment, however under the terms and conditions I have to pay for the return in order to get my refund. At this time, I had not received an email to tell me this had been shipped and therefore the consignment could have been stopped. I have this evening received an email telling me it is awaiting collection so there was further opportunity to stop the shipment, but this has not been done. Not very eco friendly. I am unable to find any customer service phone number to further discuss. A very poor service offered by email only.”
