Quite pricey and have to call to cancel
Quite pricey and it's very frustrating you have to call up to cancel and cannot do it online.

I didn’t realise it was a monthly subscription when I bought the starter pack. It wasn’t very clear. However the staff over the phone her name started with A, maybe Anna, was very helpful.
Great experience
I have looked forward to my monthly boxes for the past year! I love the variety of gins and overall have a fantastic experience with the curious drinker! Unfortunately I had to cancel due to an overseas move but Anna was super friendly and made the cancellation process quick and easy!
Feedback
Keenan in customer service was very polite and understood my request and was able to resolve my issue immediately.
Lovely boxes
Lovely quality suprise boxes, and they gave me a discount when I explained that I couldn't afford the montly gin selection. Unfortunately I've now had to cancel altogether. Nice customer service when I phoned- friendly and proffesional attitude from Keenan. One star lost due to having to phone to cancel.

Keenan was very helpful sorting out my cancellation.
I wish I’d realised that I could have cancelled before the money was taken from my account.

Took up the try us offer, before the first package had been delivered money had been taken for a further box.

Very easy process for ordering and quick delivery. The cancellation process was also quick and easy but would prefer to be able to click a cancel button on the app. Desmond Jones was very helpful with the cancellation process and there was no pressure, very friendly and efficient.
Irritating company, expensive
Awful company. One of those ones that won't let you cancel unless you call them. They have a cancellation section on their website but it doesn't work and they aren't fixing it.
The box is expensive for what it is. Padded out with lots of non alcoholic bits, so you only really get a small bit of gin.

I wouldn't recommend this company at all as I don't feel they have their customers best interest at heart. and they appeared very impatient. This is why I gave a low rating.
On the other hand, Keenan who answered the customer service phone, was very polite, listened well and explained what he was and wasn't able to do regarding my decision to cancel with this company. I would give him 5 stars.

Recommend in terms of products and custome service
Good choice of products and a great introductory box; nothing hidden on the site - membership commitment made absolutely clear.
Really good flexibility on memebership, re pause/taking a break and cancellation.
Customer service great - thank you Anna - and only reason for cancellation is because this was purchased as a gift but commitment not wanted.
No pressure or heavy sales pitch to stay a customer, so honoured their promise
Difficult Cancellation Process & Unresponsive Phone Line
My experience trying to cancel my subscription with this company was highly frustrating. I placed an order and explicitly requested a cancellation via email within hours of the payment being processed. Despite my immediate notice, customer service informed me it was "too late" to cancel.
They stated I would have to receive the box and ship it back at my own expense, even though the item was not scheduled to leave their warehouse for another 7 to 10 days. In my view, refusing a cancellation notice sent hours after ordering—weeks before dispatch—fails to respect standard UK statutory consumer rights regarding online distance selling.
I also found that online cancellation options and "skip boxes" were not available in my account dashboard (I later found these hidden within several menus). Instead, I was directed to phone a helpline that proved difficult to reach. In my view, this process also did not respect standard UK consumer rights regarding straightforward cancellations.
For anyone facing similar difficulties, here is the factual process I followed to manage my account and payments:
Email notification: I sent a formal written cancellation notice directly to their customer service email address to establish a clear paper trail.
Bank intervention: I contacted my bank to explicitly cancel the Continuous Payment Authority (CPA) associated with this company to prevent further automated charges.
Chargeback dispute: Because funds were debited after my request, I submitted my cancellation email to my bank to initiate a formal Chargeback dispute.
Reporting: I have logged the details of this cancellation experience with Trading Standards via Citizens Advice, as I believe the company's cancellation policy fails to adhere to statutory consumer rights.
I recommend keeping strict records of all communication dates when trying to end a subscription here to ensure your consumer rights are protected.
Signed up for discounted one box trail

For the total amount paid, I feel you get very little. Essentially 2 small 50ml gin bottles.
I cancelled this immediately online
Proceeded to charge me at 40£ 1 months later
Tried to ask them to refund and cancel it but they said that's not possible because money has gone out
They then don't sent out the box for 2-3 weeks,
Very poor customer service, very poor operational model, very poor products
