“I love receiving the books and not knowing quite what’s inside :)”

“The gin is wonderful. BUT: 1. The delivery time promised is frightful,. sometimes 10 days, sometines part delivery sometimes ripped packages. Royal mail is NOT the best. 2 I once was able to access my account, but it is now restricted. I therefore do not know an actual amount that I spend, when it will correctly arrive (except receiving changed dates from Royal Mail). Only available from my Bank, but no details. 3 I have tried many times to send a message to you, but this is never possible. This is a shame. Your gin prices are high, and I would accept that it should be reciprocated by giving some respect to your customers - especially your constant quotes of fast delivery.. 4 I received a small package containing 4 small tins of tonic water. Why? I will not give up my membership, because I think you are better that this. Two more members who wish to remain nameless have also experienced similar problems, and I would like to see some improvement. You are worth it, I believe. Sincerely, Leslie J Dalton 4 Rainham Road, Rainham, Essex, RM13 7RR.”

“While the gin boxes are a delight to receive, when anything goes wrong, the customer service isn't acceptable and falls very short of the expectations of a brilliant brand. Not a one-off experience either. Final straw today and I have cancelled my membership.”

“Do not bother with 'next day delivery' they use royal mail and clearly have no control over delivery times, just collecting a top up fee. Their response was to ask the person I had sent it to as a gift to reject it. Brilliant, a late present then tell them they're not allowed to keep it? Have subsequently ignored email asking to refund delivery fee. Irritating to have a nice gift spoiled by unpredictable delivery and sharp practice collecting charges they cannot fulfill.”

I'm so sorry for any confusion caused by our express delivery option. When placing an order before 1.30 PM on a Friday, the delivery will happen on the following Monday. I'm glad we could clear this up via email, let me know if there is anything else I can do to help. Kind regards Trine Head of Customer Service

“Your boxes are always late and delivery is unpredictable. Change your courier - Royal Mail are hopeless. I am not happy with your service and I shall definitely cancel!”

If I have had an issue the customer service team are efficient friendly and professional, I've always felt they were interested in me as a person and making things right. Treat yourself, you can cancel anytime, go monthly, quarterly etc. If you've thought about it, do it.”
