“The Craft Gin Club boxes are generally good value for money. However, I have one major complaint - the availability of the syrup mixers included in the boxes. I tried to purchase some bottles of the syrup mixers for a recent box and was informed that they are not available - except if you buy them complete with a bottle of the gin of the month and other mixers ! Given the small size of the bottles, it would be very useful if the Club produced additional stocks of the syrups to enable to the members to enjoy further cocktails when the original bottle has been used.”

Hi Trevor, we're glad to hear that you've been enjoying our boxes and syrups so much that you've wanted to come back for more. We've recently added our syrups (alongside the appropriate mixers) to our shop, so if any future syrup catches your eye you can head over and pick some up! Kind regards, Chaney Customer Service Team Member

“This club seems to have drastically moved away from what it was originally, and as a result quality has gone down as prices have crept up. The reward points you get are very difficult to spend and the system in place to use them is very inferior compared to how it was when I joined 5 years plus ago. Find I skip more and more boxes as content becoming very samey, however just bought a spritz box which looked interesting and a bit different!”

Hi Aileen. Thanks so much for the positive feedback. Whilst the Gin is usually the star of the show it's always fantastic to hear that you're enjoying all the snacks and mixers just as much. Hopefully, we can keep surprising you with our extras! Kind regards, Chaney Customer Service Team Member

Hi Christabel, Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that you were disappointed with your recent experience. We always aim to provide the highest level of service, and we’d like to clarify a few points to reassure you. We received your first message earlier today and immediately sent our auto-response confirming we'd get back to you within 48 hours. Since then, we received two follow-up emails, and we're pleased to say our team responded well within our promised timeframe, we responded this afternoon. Your cancellation request was actioned straight away upon receipt. If you haven't received this, please do check your junk and spam! We’re always working to improve and really value all feedback. If there’s anything specific about your experience you’d like to share so we can better understand how we can do better, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Hiya Avril, thank you so much for the feedback! Whilst we have been trying to mitigate the rising costs of our boxes, unfortunately we haven't been able to do that permanently and as such have had to increase the price of our boxes. We are sorry for any frustration this has caused, but we are glad that you are still enjoying your boxes and providing specific praise to our magazine. Our magazine team puts a lot of hard work into that so it is good to hear that it is appreciated! Regarding your second query, if you every have any questions regarding your subscription just message us at members@craftginclub.co.uk and hopefully we can provide the answers you need! Kind regards, Chaney Customer Service Team Member

Hi Sharon, we're sorry to hear about your disappointment regarding this months Gin box.

“I'll be happy to amend my review if my rum of the month ever arrives. Evri have failed to deliver and I'm now awaiting a replacement. Last month's took more than a week to arrive too. Really doesn't matter how good your subscription boxes are, if they don't arrive then customer retention will be almost impossible.”

Hi Martin, Thanks for your feedback, we completely understand your frustration when something you’re looking forward to doesn’t arrive as expected. I've had a little look and can see you got in touch with us on Wednesday and we responded the same day. A replacement box was arranged the following day, and you should receive tracking details very soon (if you haven’t already). If for any reason you don’t see them, please do get back in touch and we’ll be happy to send them over directly. While the delivery issue was unfortunately due to our third-party courier, as soon as we were made aware, we acted quickly to resolve it. We’re always working to improve our service, and that includes holding our partners to high standards too. We really appreciate your patience, and we hope your rum of the month reaches you very soon, we’re confident it’ll be worth the wait! If there’s anything else we can do, just let us know. Kind Regards, Yasmine Head of Customer Service

“I was expecting a bottle of gin not a miniature. I should have read the offer properly, but flI feel it was misleading.”

Hi There, Thank you for your feedback, we’re sorry to hear the taster box didn’t meet your expectations. Just to clarify, the taster box you signed up for is a special introductory offer featuring 2 x 5cl miniature gins, with just £8.99 to cover postage and packaging. We include clear descriptions and imagery of exactly what’s included on the taster box landing page, as transparency is really important to us. Our full subscription boxes, which are £47, are a completely different experience and include a full-size bottle, mixers, snacks, and more. The taster box is simply a way to try out a little taste of what we offer and get you excited for your next box. That said, we really appreciate your honesty, and we’ll continue doing our best to make all messaging as clear as possible. If there’s anything else we can help with, just let us know. Kind Regards, Yasmine Head of Customer Service

“Been with CGC for more than 5 years and it’s been great. Love the excitement of receiving my box and a different bottle of gin and snacks each time. Unfortunately due to rising costs in living I have reduced to bi monthly as it’s getting a little bit ‘samey’ and the price has gone up as well as lots of other monthly costs so can’t afford it as easily. I have more than 12K in rewards but to be honest it’s rubbish now as you can’t use towards your boxes and have to spend a lot to use so would rather now have the box each month for less and keep your points. Loyalty to long term customers not really recognised now. I am in the process of changing to rum box to mix it up a bit rather than cancel. It was a great delight during Covid as a monthly treat for which I was very grateful”

“My 'box of delights' arrived last weekend. We unpacked the box with 'Oooohs! and Ahhhhs' for every item. In the evening we had a Cosmopolitan cocktail and curry crisps, and followed that wiith the very tasty 'Gin of the Month'. I really look forward to the box landing, carefully, on my doorstep. Wish I could afford it every month instead of every two months.”

Hi Bill, Thanks for your feedback, and welcome to the club! We’re sorry to hear things felt a bit rushed. Just to clarify, Craft Gin Club is a subscription service, so to receive a box from us, members do need to join the club. We don’t offer one-off purchases, but rest assured, you’re always in control. You can skip a box or cancel your membership at any time, with no hassle. For transparency, we charge all members on the 23rd of each month for their upcoming box, so if you ever want to make changes, just make sure to do so before then. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, even early on, and we hope you enjoy your first box once it arrives! If you need any help, our wonderful Memberships Team is always here to support you. Kind Regards, Yasmine Head of Customer Service
