I’ve loved having the boxes and for a special occasion they’re great. However, although you can pause or cancel membership it’s a bit of a performance- you have to ring up! And even skipping a box you... Toon meer

Not straightforward to cancel once subscribed.

Bianca was helpful on the phone, 4 stars for them only reduced by the upselling script they have to follow.

However, you cannot cancel online as is required by the new UK "Click to cancel" law and have to call. As soon as you explain you want to cancel the call handler goes into a "script" about instead changing frequency or putting the account on temporary hold.

All this has already been shown on the website by the time you find the phone number, so is unnecessary. Cancelling should be as simple as signing up.

Shame as this damages my impression of the company which has otherwise been good.

The customer service person was lovely…

The customer service person was lovely Anna. She gets 5 stars but I will say that I think Craft Gin should work on it being more transparent that signing up for the “inexpensive” gin set commits you to the membership! It doesn’t feel very honest.

Antwoord van The Curious Drinker

Hi Leslie, Thank you for your feedback and we're delighted to hear Anna provided such great service, we'll be sure to pass this on to her.

We’re sorry to hear you felt the membership aspect was not clear. We do aim to be transparent during sign-up and provide multiple reminders that the introductory offer forms part of an ongoing membership, alongside follow-up emails confirming how the membership works and renewal information.

We appreciate your feedback and are always reviewing how we communicate this to ensure it is as clear as possible for members.

Kind Regards,

James

Worst customer service ever

Worst customer service ever, this company FAILS in every way to deal on a human level.
I cancelled my membership via email on 1st March 2026 as a result of the death of my partner and the change in my financial situation trying to raise 2 children.
I used to get 1 box every 3 months as a treat but can no longer afford this.
Imagine my surprise when £47 was charged to my credit card this week, despite the fact that I sent a cancellation request some 12 weeks ago.
I then spoke to Anna, who was less than helpful, I asked for the box to be cancelled and my money refunded. All I could get out of her was that she could offer my £10 off my next 3 boxes but she could not cancel my membership as that can only be done by email. (Which I had already done back in march) Since then I have attempted to contact Craft Gin Club again only to receive an automated email saying that I needed to amend my box prior to the 22nd may to effect any change (I did amend my delivery in the first of march)
All I have asked for is a refund of my £47 so I can provide for my now, fatherless children.
I did not want to give up my membership, it has been one of my few pleasures in life for 9 years, but for how they have treated me, a loyal customer in a most despicable way and NO ONE seems to want to resolve my problem. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Antwoord van The Curious Drinker

Hi Rachael, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Firstly, we'd like to express our sincere condolences for the loss of your partner. We are very sorry to hear about the difficult circumstances you and your family are facing.

Having reviewed your account, we can see that you contacted us on 1st March requesting to cancel your membership. In response, we provided information on our cancellation process and the steps required to complete the request. As we did not receive any further correspondence or notification that you were unable to complete the process, the membership remained active and a subsequent renewal payment was processed in line with the membership terms.

When you contacted us again regarding the charge, we reviewed the situation and arranged a full refund of the £47 payment.

We appreciate that this was a frustrating experience, particularly given the personal challenges you are dealing with, and we're sorry that our communication left you feeling unsupported.

We value the loyalty you showed over the past nine years and are genuinely disappointed that your experience with us has resulted in this outcome. While we followed our standard procedures, we recognise that there are occasions where we can do better in understanding individual circumstances, and your feedback has been shared with the relevant teams for review.

We wish you and your family all the very best for the future.

Kind Regards,

Yasmine
Head of Customer Service

Awful company

Awful company, make you jump through hoops to cancel in the hope you’ll just leave your subscription running.

Antwoord van The Curious Drinker

Hi Daniel, We're sorry to hear you feel this way.

We would like to clarify that there are no hoops to jump through to cancel a membership. All that is required is a quick call with our team to process the cancellation, and on average this takes around two minutes, including wait time.

Our team is always on hand to help members with any queries and make the process as straightforward as possible.

Kind Regards,

James
