Great customer service from Andrea

I subscribed to Uncut and also ordered back issues. There was a problem with the mailing (UK to US) due to our own postal service (USPS). I wrote to Uncut customer service and Andrea and I exchanged a couple mails. Andrea followed up and the problem was resolved. She is personable and professional and a credit to the Uncut family. Thank you from a long-time reader. (I am not AI nor was I compensated for this review.)

Terrible company

Disgraceful, useless, waste of time, no idea, are just some of the more polite terms I will call this shower of AI brainwashed zombies.
I have had regular standing orders not being sent, impossible to contact via email or phone or reply to customer enquiries.
They have destroyed a much respected well established company Morton's Media who were a pleasure to deal with for over twenty years with their Classic Motorcycle, Auto, Railway and more publications.
Where do we go now ? An apology would be a start.

Great company to deal with

I ordered a magazine at the request of a Greek friend. I placed the order on the 11th May, it was posted on the same day and it arrived this morning. The magazine is in pristine condition.

Did everything that it said on the tin!! My friend is now desperate to get his hands on it!

Thank you so much and knowing how music mad he is, I’m sure I’ll be using your website again!

My father receives The Railway magazine which he loves as a passionate railway man. The team are very helpful indeed, always friendly, professional and approachable and ensure that dad receives his magazine promptly to enjoy. Great service. Thankyou. Highly recommend.

Happy Aussie Reader

Great being able to have mags delivered to your doorstep in a timely fashion. Order and forget. Fantastic customer service ( particularly Georgina) at Kelsey Media. Very responsive in a timely manner and they go above and beyond to assist with all your customer enquiries.

Your staff member (Katie?) sorted

Your staff member (Katie?) successfully sorted out the confusion of 2 people with similar names (myself and my brother who had previously bought me a gift subscription a couple of years ago)
