Wait till you try and cancel!

Started with an introductory offer and since then tried to cancel. It’s so difficult to cancel the subscription. Why you have to spend a long time on hold, the first time over an hour and the final time was relatively quick at 20 mins. Beer was ok, if the subscription was easier to manage then I may have had second thoughts but this isn’t for me.

If it wasn’t so hard to cancel I would stay

If it wasn’t so hard to cancel over the phone I would probably re-start my subscription.

There is one thing that annoys me and that is when I cannot cancel a subscription with ease in an app or by managing my own account. I look at subscriptions like these as a bit of a treat, my wine subscription was really good and my husband loved his beers. It just can get pricey and so not being able to manage the account and cancel it without ringing someone I find annoying.

Easy to sign up, hard to leave

Good beers, interesting selection. They make it very easy to sign up but quite a bit harder and more time consuming to leave. I went through endless ‘are you really sure you want to leave’ pages on their site only to finally be given a phone number to call to cancel. On hold for 5 minutes and then a 5 minute call with their rep who was a nice enough but did his best to persuade me not to cancel

Second time with this absolute joke of a company. First time trucked into thinking I was getting a special one-off offer only to have money leave my account the next month. This time on Father’s Day I specifically selected the option of ‘one-off box’ and now I’ve just been charged for a second delivery the following month. This company are vampires and should be avoided at all costs. I’ll be reporting to trading standards as the last time I had someone on the phone they absolutely disregarded me and refused any refund. They have recently made the cancellation even MORE difficult by only providing a telephone service open Monday to Friday 9-5pm when most are at work. Disgusted with this.

Reza was very friendly and helpful when I called about cancelling my subscription. He explained a variety of great deals and beers I could receive on my next order, and took interest in my experience and tailoring the boxes to my preferences.

Beer is excellent with a good range…

Beer is excellent with a good range (comes with a few snacks too) and lets you build up credit and rewards, extra cans and what-not. Can’t fault the drink at all, and it’s nice to try smaller producers too. Delivery always quick and on time, never damaged or anything like that. As with many subscriptions, leaving was far harder than joining. There is an option to pause (for a short while) and they offer lots of little temptations to stay. In the end, you have to ring and it’s a little long winded and you have to be politely firm. Kaye sorted it out though (although the other CS chaps before her were a little too persistent for my liking. 5 stars for the production, the website, the range and service as a member . Dropped a star for the small difficulties in moving on.

Hi Maria. Thank you for your comments. When customers do contact us we do occasionally have deals to offer and introductions to our other products and so, where possible we mention these offers if a customer is thinking of leaving us, requesting to change an element of their subscription or simply asking to pause their account for personal circumstances. We also ask a few questions from the customer so that we see any areas for improvement. Our agents are trained to recognise the very best way to support our customers, whether that be to tweak a subscription payment date, upgrade or downgrade a plan or if a customer is simply asking to pause for a while - we just simply want our customers to enjoy our product and experience a service and plan that works for them.

If you did want to contact us but were unable to phone our customer service at 0131 285 2684 for whatever reason, you could also contact us via Facebook Messenger as well via our helpdesk https://www.beer52.com/helpCentre/home.

Cancelling subscription

It annoys me that you have to call to cancel your subscription - especially as the phone line is only open 9am to 5pm Mon to Fri. Not helpful if you work those hours.
That said the guy I spoke to (Failla) was helpful and made it as painless as posible
