The cheeses provided were good
The cheeses provided were good, though this time there was no tasting notes, and one of the cheeses did not have any identification.

Hi Michael,
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback on the selection - we really appreciate you taking the time to share it.
We’ve sent the tasting notes over via email. If you haven’t received them, please do let us know at hello@thecheesegeek.com and we’ll get those over to you straight away 🤓
Whilst we appreciate it’s not quite the same as a printed booklet, we had to make some last-minute adjustments to your selection due to unexpected supply issues, and we wanted to ensure you received the correct tasting notes for the cheeses included. This is something we’re actively working on improving, so your feedback is genuinely helpful.
I’m also very sorry to hear that one of the cheeses wasn’t clearly identified. That’s certainly not what we’d expect, and we’ll be looking into this with the team to understand what happened. In the meantime, the tasting notes we’ve sent should help with identification, and we’re always happy to assist if anything is still unclear.
Thanks again for your kind feedback, and we hope you enjoyed the selection overall!
Best wishes,
Jen

I ordered a surprise cheese box to share with friends. However it came underweight and was I very disappointed as I had to supplement it with more cheese ( not as good ) from the local supermarket.
However your customer service person Jen, could not have been more helpful and I am now awaiting the missing cheese to arrive this week .
I have ordered with you before and was very satisfied with quality and service previously received.

We’re also delighted to hear that you’ve had a positive experience with us previously, and that you continue to enjoy the quality of the cheeses - we work hard to showcase the very best artisan producers.
Your top-up cheesebox is due to be delivered tomorrow, and you’ll receive tracking updates once it has been collected from us. If you need anything in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to get in touch at hello@thecheesegeek.com - we’re always here to help.
We’re very sorry again for the human error on your order this time around.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for your review! We're so sorry your cheese delivery has been held up, and appreciate it's very frustrating when these things happen.
Your original order was sadly delayed beyond our freshness window, so we arranged for a replacement to be sent out - which is currently on its way to you. We did drop you an email with all the details yesterday.
We'll continue to monitor your delivery and keep you updated, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact hello@thecheesegeek.com.
We're sorry once again for any disruption this has caused to your plans, and hope to have you united with your cheese very soon!

Cheese wonderful, but multiple problems with delivery- arrived a week late and then 2 boxes arrived. This is the second time I’ve had problems like this, so despite fantastic cheese I won’t be ordering again

This is a great service.
This is a great service that Cheesegeek provide. Their choices of cheese are unfailingly good and showcase what is good in British cheeses.
It is such a shame that their carrier, DHL, employs agents who would rather drive past rather than deliver on time.

Late delivery, mouldy cheese…
The courier used by CheeseGeeks failed to deliver the cheese as ordered on a Friday and ended up delivering it on Monday after a weekend of it not being refrigerated. As a result, my Mother received gone off cheese as her Mother’s Day present. The company were apologetic and have resent the package but this isn’t the 1st time it’s happened, I won’t be ordering from them again.
Quick edit, they did indeed arrange a replacement box, which is delayed again. So far, from 4 orders with this company, 3 have been delayed, 1 to the point of ruin.
Further edit, their customer service has been impressive and upon asking I was promptly issued a full refund. My compliments to Jen from their customer service team, she was excellent. If it weren't for their poor choice of courier, this experience would have been so much better.

Hi Daniel,
We’re really sorry this order didn’t arrive as expected - especially as it was for Mother’s Day. We completely understand the disappointment caused.
Due to the extended delay in transit, we advised that the cheese shouldn’t be consumed as it was outside our freshness window, which is why we arranged a fresh replacement box straight away. We’re very sorry that this replacement was also affected by a further courier delay.
We know this isn’t the experience you hoped for, and we’ve since issued a full refund to acknowledge the inconvenience caused.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.

Failure to deliver and slow response to email
I ordered for delivery - a gift for my mother and DHL updated and rescheduled delivery for the following day and then failed to deliver again. This is perhaps not Cheesegeeks fault, but DHL is their chosen courier.
What is within Cheesegeeks control is how it deals with emails. Having a customer service email line that is only open from 9-1 on Monday to Friday, when deliveries are made outside of this time - or not, in this case, leaves the customer in a state of limbo without a point of contact.
DHL has been unable to deliver the parcel and it has now been rescheduled for a full week later than the original delivery date.
Given the problems with this order, the disappointment and time wasted, I won't be ordering again and wouldn't recommend as the company is reliant DHL as its courier and something is going terribly wrong with their delivery process from their Croydon depot.
It's a shame, as the cheese from previous deliveries was very good.
Cheesegeek has apologised and issued a refund for the goods it failed to supply. But that's the absolute minimum that I would expect.

Hi Nick,
Thanks so much for your feedback and I’m very sorry again for how this order played out. We completely understand how disappointing this was, especially as it was intended as a birthday gift.
I’m very sorry that you weren’t updated on the status of your delivery ahead of the weekend. Whilst I had flagged the delay with DHL and requested that your delivery was prioritised, I didn’t keep you in the loop, and I completely understand how frustrating it must have been to be left in the dark at such an important time. Your comments about our contact hours have been taken on board.
As soon as we were back online on Monday morning, we asked DHL to cancel the delivery to ensure the cheese wouldn’t arrive in poor condition, as it was then outside of our freshness window. We offered you the option of a complimentary replacement or a full refund so you could choose what worked best, and we’ve since processed your refund in full.
I’m also sorry for the confusion caused by the delivery notifications - these don’t always immediately reflect changes once a parcel has been stopped in transit.
We’re really grateful for your previous orders and your kind comments about the cheese itself, which makes this experience all the more disappointing for us as well. While we completely understand your hesitation, we do hope to see you again.
Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience.
Best wishes,
Jen

Expensive and ok cheese
Nice is you want to be introduced to cheeses, but expensive and only big enough for 2. There are 5 cheeses in each box, at over £6 per >150g bit of cheese. The 1st (Jan26) of 3 boxes was ok, but most of the 2nd (Mar26) were a bit tasteless. The card describing each is helpful. Hope the next box is better.

Unprompted review
Reply from cheesegeek
Hi Keith,
Thanks for your feedback - we completely understand that our boxes can feel like a bit of a luxury!
We focus on sourcing exceptional artisan cheeses from small producers and independent cheesemakers, many of whom make their cheeses in small batches using traditional methods. Because of that, the cost is naturally higher than mass-produced supermarket cheese - but we always work hard to ensure the selection, portion sizes and overall experience feel worthwhile.
We’re sorry too that this box didn’t quite wow your taste buds. We really appreciate you giving us a try and sharing your thoughts!
If you have any feedback on your next box, we'd love to hear from you directly at hello@thecheesegeek.com.

Fantastic cheese company.
I bought the 3 month cheese subscription as a Christmas present for both my son and daughter. They have been absolutely delighted with the cheeses they have received so far. I know they are very much looking forward to their next cheese treat. I would definitely use cheese geeks again.
