“£39.95 for The Perfect Advent Pairings Bundle, buyers beware, you get normal tonic, citrus tonic, and ginger beer, then some dried berries and citrus fruit & spices. This come beautifully presented in a brown cardboard box not a display box that matches the calendar as it looks online, with a small flyer to tell you what to put in, not quantities just which gin, tonic/ginger beer, and dried fruit. Do your selves a favour get to the supermarket and spend 40p on a bottle of tonic.”

“Never write a review but moved to after orders not being dispatched and multiple delivery failures. That coupled with the appalling customer service trying to resolve means I won't be back after a 3 year membership.”

“Terrible Experience – Stay Away from Craft Gin Club! We ordered the taster box from Craft Gin Club on the 13th of October, but it arrived badly damaged. We immediately reported this with photos, expecting a replacement of the original items. Instead, we received a strange assortment of items that had nothing to do with our taster box. Meanwhile, we received several emails confirming we were still not members. Then suddenly, without prior notification or agreement, Craft Gin Club charged us £45 for a membership box, even though we hadn’t created an account and had no way to view or cancel this order. We asked them to cancel the order immediately, but they ignored our request and still sent the box days later. This £45 parcel was delivered while we were away and left outside. Craft Gin Club then told us we’d need to arrange and pay for a return in order to get a refund—even though most couriers don’t insure liquids, meaning we risked losing both the box and the shipping costs. This was an awful experience from start to finish, with poor customer service and a disregard for customers’ instructions and concerns. Save yourself the hassle and look elsewhere for your gin!”

“My box wasn't delivered by Evri and i was told that they are returning it back. They didn't even try to deliver to me. I spoke to craft gin club and they said to email customer services but they haven't bothered to reply to me. After a year of getting boxes from them it's a shame they don't seem to want to help but quick enough to take payment. I will be contacting trading standards if my issue isn't resolved.”

“I signed up off the back of a promotion for a discounted box. The box didnt come, and was then charged another £45 for a subsequent box. Tried to cancel the membership, can't do it online and so had to phone. Very pushy sales tactics when trying to cancel. Customer service is poor.”

“THEY WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND WON'T CARE ABOUT YOU!!! They said they couldn't cancel my payment today even though the box hasn't left their premises, and I will lose a box and £45 because I won't be home. This situation feels more like a scam than a business that cares about its customers. DON'T FALL FOR THIS TRAP!”

“If something goes wrong with a delivery they will not speak to you. Only available phone number is for cancellations only (apparently the people on that line do not know of any other number for the business). 12 days since order so far & no delivery”

Hi Baz, Thank you so much for your feedback. Unfortunately, as we are still such a small team, we don't currently use a phone line - we simply wouldn't be able to keep up with the volume of calls that we would receive. Introducing a phone line is definitely something that we would like to do as we grow, but for now, we feel that we can provide better service via email. Our team is always available via email at members@craftginclub.co.uk, and we aim to respond to all queries within 48 hours. Please do get in touch with us so we can ressolve any issues. Kind regards, Yasmine Customer Service Team Leader

“This company are a total scam do not use. I paid for the trial box and then they took £45 without any prior warning from my bank account over a month ago. Still no box has arrived. I've tried several times to make contact to be told its coming next week with Evri. Still no sign. I am reporting them to my bank to try and stop anymore payments being taken. There is no where on the website to cancel the subscription but I have just tried to go back on to find a phone number and it's telling me to rejoin ? No 👎 total scam.”

“Took the £5 tester box and have ended up with an unwanted subscription. Gin club make it ridiculously more difficult to cancel the subscription by having to call a phone line during office hours instead of just being able to do it on the website.”

“Had an issue with damage to my introductory box. Tried contact as recommended via several emails (no response), website form (no response) and website feedback (guess what? no response). All over several weeks. Happy enough with the quality of the product so far, but extremely unhappy with non-existent customer service. Why is getting your customer service right so difficult???”

“I ordered the initial trial box and paid for postage which was fine, however I never completed the registration to agree to the monthly subscription. Today I've had an email to say £45 is taken from my account! No prewarning email to advise of the intended payment otherwise I would have cancelled. I am really disappointed in this company and like others wish I'd have read the reviews first. Regards, Louise”

“I also setcforcactarer box, not realising I was signing up for subscription. It was OK for a short while. But due to ill health I was advised to give up alcohol. But I've seen all the problems, people are having with truing yo cancel the subscription. I will inform my bank this company don't have my permission to take money from my account. And if it means blocking my card I will. So let's see what happens when I try to cancel this subscription. By tgecwsy I have no complaints about the gin and treats I have received. But I'm taking my GPS medical advice”
