Waited nearly 2 weeks for my order eventhough they said their delivery times were back to normal. That said, great product and as described.

Not great….

The products were ok. But the service was terrible. I received a gift card in it that read, “happy birthday babe, love you lots” which I did not request for my partner. I’ve never called him babe!! And with the website stating orders dispatched within 7 working days I actually received my order 18 days after placing the order! When I contacted after 12 days giving the benefit of the doubt it was promised to be sent the next day…. It actually wasn’t dispatched for another 2/3 days! And it was left behind my bin all day after requesting that it was delivered to a neighbour for safe keeping! Luckily it was there when I got home!

Hello Carrianne - thanks for your review. As you’ll no doubt be aware we were experiencing order delays, and we apologise that it took considerably longer to get the item to you.

Apologies about the incorrect gift card, I can see that you didn’t request a gift card so this is simply been put into your order incorrectly. It was a gift message card so can easily be discarded.

In regards to delivery, I’m sorry it was left not where you requested, obviously this is out of our control as your order was dispatched with a delivery company.

Thanks again for taking time to review, and I hope the gift was well received albeit later than expected.

Repeat Customer

Have ordered multiple times and never had any issues. My orders have arrived on time in safe packaging which is why I'm a repeat customer

TOTALLY AVOID THIS COMPANY

Terrible Customer Service AVOID.
Placed an order on 22/4/22 order confirmed and advised they would check stock levels on 27th April. I emailed, called, Facebook messaged and website chat with them over the next week or so with no response from them as to where my order was or when I could expect delivery.
Finally got a response from someone on 3/5/22 to be told there was a backlog of orders and they would get back to us that evening to tell us when we could expect our order. Low and behold nothing received until 2 days later when I had chased by 3 emails again to be told that my order was going out the following day 6th May and I would also receive a refund of 20% back to the card I paid with due to the issues. Received a DPD tracking number however no confirmation email from DPD and when using the tracking number DPD just say that the order was booked but nothing has been received by them.
Its now 18th May and I have emailed customer service everyday for a week now with no response what so ever. I've NOT recieved my 20% refund or my order which wasnt a small amount either, £239.
I have had to put a claim in with my bank account now to get my money back.
They recently sent an email to ask for a review. My review would be DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY they do not deliver what they are selling and they do not provide any form of customer service what so ever.
I do not often review companies however if I can stop this frustration and time wasting experience happening to someone else then I have made a difference.

Just to add to this and your response on Trust Pilot all could have been avoided if you had simply communicated. Lack of communication is very unprofessional. Yes I am a business owner and wouldn’t dream of ignoring my customers to the extent that you have I tried countless times to get you to communicate and failed so I feel my review is completely justified. I asked for a refund you offered a 20% refund and the delivered item so I gave you the benefit of the doubt but still you failed to communicate your supply issues and nothing came nor the refund in my account, I’m really not sure how else I’m supposed to try and get answers from you short of getting in the car and travelling to you offices.

Simply communication is key and would have avoided the frustration and embarrassment you have caused for a gift that should have been delivered 3 weeks ago.

I’m sorry that I’ve had to write this but perhaps if you answered emails your customers would not be so angry and feel the need to write this kind of review.

We’re fully aware of the issues you’ve experienced, and we apologise for that, as a fellow business owner yourself, you seem very set on making your voice heard - let’s hope you never experience any vendor or supplier delays yourself that make customers title their review DO NOT USE! we’ll continue to deliver a great service to 99.9% of our customers. Many thanks for taking the time to review on both channels. Gin & Rum Team

Avoid!! Awful company!!

If I could give minus stars I would. Very disappointed with the service they provide. I ordered a Gin gift box as a birthday present knowing that it would take 7 working days as advertised. The website advertised the gift box was in stock so I placed the order.
I had to chase them after the 7 working days only to be told it was out of stock and don't know when it would be back in. Thanks for the false advertising. Then it magically reappeared in stock over the weekend (Aldi must of has its middle isle refilled) and they said they would post it by DPD asap.
Another week and nothing, turns out they sent it by Royal Mail and they had to get in touch with the person that posted it for them???
Turns out they could confirm if it was posted so they would send out another on with DPD.
Another week, no confirmation and the DPD app showed that the package was never received from the Gin & Run warehouse.
So they said they would post another gift box on priority next day.
The gift box did arrive with DPD but wasn't priority as was sent as normal postage so took another 3 working days.

So I ordered on the 10th April and finally arrived on 15th May. After many many emails and excused by Matthew & Elaine.

I wouldn't call them a warehouse, more like a shed at the bottom of your garden and they are selling on Tesco's multi buy products.

Hello Hugh, thank you for trustpilot review. Whilst I know you experienced issues with your order, and we apologise for that, I would like to just clarify that you emailed us at 9.17pm last Wednesday evening, and a replacement order was completed and dispatched by 9.44pm the same evening, and a follow up email to advise you of tracking information.

I don’t really understand the Aldi or Tesco references, or how they are relevant.

Finally, apologies again I know you haven’t had the best experience on this occasion, but we did our best to rectify it as quickly as possible, and the order has been received.

Many Thanks

Avoid at all costs. The worst service ever.

Ordered early April. Nothing arrived.
I chased and was told a week later items were out of stock. I could choose alternatives, which I don’t want to do. So have asked for a refund. A month on and still no refund, they have stopped replying to my emails and never answer the phone. I will get my money, so don’t ignore me.

Hello SJ - Thank you for posting a review, i'm sorry to hear that you have not had a great experience with us. I am unable to find your order based on the review information, and if you have requested a refund for your order then I can assure you that there is no issue in giving you one.

Please could you email us (cheers@gin-warehouse.co.uk) with your order number and a member of our team will look out for this coming through.

Many Thanks

I placed an order on the 22nd April and it still hasn't arrived. It was for a 50th birthday so I feel very let down. I was told it was posted by royal mail instead of dpd but noone has been able to provide tracking details. Despite contacting the company several times this week they have not replied so I am out of pocket and have disappointed the birthday recipient.

We are aware of issues with your order, and we have also just emailed you now to advise that a replacement order is being dispatched with DPD this evening - You will receive notifications once this is complete. May I take this opportunity to apologise for the issues you have experienced, and I trust that your replacement order will arrive in the next day or so. Kind Regards

Well below par customer service

On 11th March 2022 I ordered the Laurent Perrier Rose champagne and 3 wick candle personalised gift set to be sent to my friend for her 60th birthday which was on 19th March.
I received an email from GRW on 11th March to say they were getting my order ready to be dispatched but heard nothing after that.
I had told my friend to expect something in the post, but hadn't heard from her to say she had received it which made me contact GRW on 12th April - one full month after I placed my order - to check it had been dispatched.
GRW replied to say it had not been dispatched because they had run out of champagne - they were having problems getting this from their usual supplier. They apologised several times for this and for not telling me that at the point I placed my order they were unable to fulfil it (which would have allowed me to source a similar gift from another company).
GRW advised there was a UK wide shortage of the champagne. That wasn't the case in the several shops I saw it being sold in. It also wasn't the case for the alternative company I have now bought it from so at least my friend will belatedly receive her 60th birthday gift.
Sorry just isn't good enough. This gift set should have been marked as "currently unavailable" on the website (which it now has been) and/or someone at GRW should have sourced a supply to fulfil orders already placed and/or I should have been notified immediately the champagne was not available.
Really poor customer service.
