“Was disappointed with the contents of the Gin Club box. Thought it was going to be quite special being my first order. Popcorn, couple bottles of 50ml of gin, tiny bottle of Angustura Bitters, small bottle of Mulled wine, one glass... strange contents. Just disappointed that even for £6.99 it was a 'nothing suprise'!”

Hi Diane, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear that the Free Taster Box didn’t meet your expectations, especially as a first experience with us. To clarify, the Taster Box is completely free, with the £6.99 covering postage and packaging only. Even so, we always ensure the contents meet or exceed the promised value, and we aim to be as clear as possible about what the box includes so members know what to expect. The Taster Box is designed as an introduction to Craft Gin Club, giving a variety of samples, treats, and two 5cl gins rather than a full-sized bottle, so members can explore before deciding whether the club is right for them. We’re sorry this didn’t feel special to you, but we do appreciate you giving us a try and sharing your thoughts, feedback like this helps us continue to improve. Kind Regards, Sophie Memberships Executive

“The gins offered in the club are varied and arrive really well packaged. I do find the cost quite high and would appreciate the ability to have a monthly or bi-monthly box offered that just provides the gin, with nothing else. At the moment the choices are either a box with the gin and just tonics, or a box with the gin, nibbles and tonics, both cost £47. I would rather forgo the extras and just have the gin at a lower cost. My other comment would be that yes you can change your subscription at any time between monthly and bi- monthly, but the option to just skip your next delivery would be good. Other than these quibbles the gins offered are of good quality from independant craft gincompanies, which is great.”

“Gin boxes are always amazing. I have it with a friends who is gluten free and we are always surprised by how much is gluten free in the main gin box and the booster box. Thank you”

“I received the sampler box. What an insult. It wasn’t worth the money or packaging. Let alone trying to figure out how to cancel the subscription on your website. It’s the most complicated process I’ve ever been through online. I still haven’t managed to cancel it, only postpone it!”

Hi Phil, Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear that your experience with the Free Taster Box and the cancellation process has been frustrating. To clarify, the Taster Box is completely free, members only pay a small postage and packaging fee. Even though the box is free, we make every effort to ensure it meets the promised value, and we’d be happy to provide a full breakdown of the items and their individual values if that would be helpful. Regarding cancellation, our subscription is designed to be fully manageable online, and it’s possible to cancel, postpone, or update your membership via your account. If you’re having any difficulty, our Memberships team at members@craftginclub.co.uk can guide you through the process quickly and make sure your preferences are applied. We really appreciate your feedback and will continue to look at ways to make the experience as smooth and clear as possible for our members. Kind regards, Sophie Memberships Executive

Hi Frances, Thank you for the feedback. I am sorry that you felt that your introductory taster box wasn't worth the price paid and will be sure to pass along your feedback surrounding this to our box team, whilst we always try and provide an exciting and fun introductory experience we might not hit the mark with everyone. In the meantime, I hope that you were able to enjoy the box and the curated contents within even if it wasn't as much as you thought you would. Kind regards, Chaney Customer Service Executive

“They make cancelling extremely difficult. Don’t bother unless you want to pay £47 for a bottle of gin”

“Having accepted the free trial, on receipt I decided to cancel my subscription. However, now I find that my first month's subscription has nevertheless been taken from my Bank Account. This is very poor.”

“Bought this for our son-in-law and daughter as part of their Christmas present: they are both discerning gin lovers and this seemed the ideal way to let them experience some different brands and flavours. I really like the outer packaging of the boxes, but slightly disappointed with the 'drawers' , which are a bit flimsy. Overall, though it is a great gift which I hope will enthuse, educate and provide enjoyment!”
