Using incorrect images to deceive customers.

Ordered 4 jugs which they described as "made from good quality plastic. Robust design" which were nothing like the image and were of VERY poor quality.
I had to ask twice to get a refund and was told it takes 7 days for a refund to show on Paypal, which is nonsense. Eventually got a refund.

Hello Fred Shed,
Thank you for your review.

We can see that you placed your order on 25th Feb and first raised your query with us on 2nd March. We responded within 90minutes, took onboard your feedback, apologised (twice), and corrected the outdated product image on our website within the same timeframe. On top of this we immediately and without any request from you offered you a no quibble refund and for you to keep all of the goods that you did receive as well. You neither declined nor acknowledged our offer.

The next day, before our trading hours, you contacted us again to state you hadn't received your refund. We then highlighted that your card provided can take several working days to process the refund at which point, despite stating yourself that "PayPal can take 5 days to refund to my card", and during the same exchange you stated you could now see the refund 'processing' in PayPal (within less than two business working hours of raising your query), you became abusive and condescending, swearing at our team and suggesting that we are liars. Despite politely confirming to you that we had already raised the refund request, and providing proof of such, you continued to be abusive and then to call our staff names.

Best wishes and happy brewing,
Love Brewing

I have been brewing for 40 + years and now buy 90% of my kits here. There own premium kits are great for the price as are their top level kits at cheaper than their competitors. I have bought short date kits( at heavy discount) with no problems other than torn box .tip buy 2 kits to save on the postage charge( check on current level, 70 I think)

Avoid their brewing buckets

Avoid their brewing buckets. They degrade and become brittle after a short while.

Update - the company said they have no record of me as a customer - I have a live account with them (just logged in) and a long email list of confirmed orders/confirmations from 2023. Make of that what you will. 6 buckets went brittle.

Hello Mark,
We're sorry that you are dissatisfied with the quality of the buckets. However, we can see that you have not made any purchase of buckets in the last two and a half years. And there is no record of you contacting us directly with a query.

We'd really appreciate it if you would get in touch to discuss your product concern and see how we could help. Please contact us via our website - https://www.lovebrewing.co.uk/contact-lb.
Best wishes and happy brewing,
Love Brewing.

EDIT:

Hello Mark -
So, it's been over 30 months since you last purchased a bucket and September this year is the first time that you've raised your concern with us. We can see that you recently tried to contact us via messenger which we do not monitor, and you received an automated response asking you to contact us via the website - https://www.lovebrewing.co.uk/contact-lb. As before we're happy to discuss any product concerns by contacting us via the link above.
Once again, Best wishes and happy brewing,
Love Brewing.

I used this company regularly when it had its shop, the old shop and the new one. Always great products and great advice. Since moving to the warehouse I've received out of date kits. My order arrived Saturday 20th Sept, with one kit best before end of June 2025.
Shall drop them an email and await a response

Good Customer Service

I have used this company over the years and have always received good, efficient service from them. Unfortunately, this time, due to bad handling by the delivery company, one of the finings sachets had burst, destroying the instructions. An email to Love Brewing, and they replied quickly and mailed replacements for the damaged items. Super customer service

Finally some contact on the 7th day after initial complaint. Have started refund process which apparently takes 3-5 days. I’ll be back with another 1star review if it doesn’t go through, not holding out much hope

Hello Michael.
We're very sorry about the delay in initial response and the incorrect goods - this does happen with couriers occasionally. We did offer to send out replacement items and allow you to keep the original items we sent, however you declined.

Speedy and professional service

Ordered 10:48 Monday, arrived via DPD 11.13 Tuesday. All items in my wine beginner’s kit present and carefully packed. Brilliant service from Love Brewing. Definitely recommend. Wine fermenting and bubbling as I type. 🥂 cheers!

Look else where..

I placed a order, a bit hesitant to order in fairness as delivery was nearly a tenner.
Placed the order anyways, about 4 days past with still no sign of the delivery.
Checked with DPD and turns out they haven't insisted my address correctly, tried to contact them with absolute no reply, terrible customer service.

A few more days pass with no delivery looking likely, thankfully my work deals with DPD and my account manager managed to update the address which they shouldn't do for the recipients.
A day or so later (totalling a week extra than stated) I get my delivery.
Still no reply from them. 100% order else where, no customer service at all. Ignoring emails and no telephone number to contact.
They just take your money and that's about it.

Hello Kris,
We are very sorry about this frustrating experience. The business was going through major changes - a relocation and staff changes at that time. And we did advertise this at that time. Although this is not excusing the delay in our response.

Unfortunately issues do occur with couriers occasionally, and I understand that you did receive your items in good order when the courier re-delivered.
Best wishes and happy brewing,
Love Brewing.

Great products which I've purchased on a number of occasions.

But let down by poor customer service!

I had a problem with DPD not supplying the 1 hour delivery slot (the slot given was for 15hrs, 7.00-22.00 hrs), which was of no use to me!

Quote "1-Hour Delivery Window with DPD
We know that waiting for your order to turn up can be a real pain, so we've teamed up with DPD who will give you a 1-hour delivery window so you know when to expect your delivery."

I contacted 'Love Brewing' with my concerns, but had no reply, just leaving the customer in limbo!

I've still to receive my parcel! Two days and counting, all because DPD couldn't supply a 1 hour delivery slot.

Sad to say this will be my last order as I can't deal with poor customer service and a delivery company that can't deliver.

Hello John,
We are very sorry about this frustrating experience. The business was going through major changes - a relocation and staff changes at that time. And we did advertise this at that time. Although this is not excusing the delay in our response.

Although we partner with couriers, we do not make the delivery ourselves, nor control the delivery slot - this is entirely down to the courier.

We have since made some changes with our couriers and service has improved.
Best wishes and happy brewing,

I recently put in an order to love Brewing and it hadn't been delivered 3 weeks later . I work offshore and had been away and couldn't access my bank account online while on the platform . I contacted them via Facebook and they were quickly on the case and sent my 4 cans of Geordie lager and some freebies as an apology for the wait . Their website does say they are restocking so there could be delays . This is my third order from them and I will continue to use them in future .

It's going down hill quick

This review is based on my last 2 visits .
Bought a small container of cleaner /sterilizer .instructions add a couple of teaspoons . Opened container ,the product is rock hard . I have used a masonry drill to loosen it . Mix it with warm water and it doesn't dissolve , another item for the bin .
In the shop no prices on anything ,prices have been blacked out ,not great for a browsing .
Asked weather you sold still spirits botanical gin bags ." No just the big bags of botanicals ,that's how we make our money " . So I won't buy loads of bags and I can't buy the small bags ,result no sale. Another home brew shop gets the business
Bought some still spirits boxes of flavouring . One was 2 months out of date and the other was running out in the next month . My fault for not checking you could say .
My conclusion is, in the last 6 months love brewing is going down hill fast . Which is crying shame as I have had great service and great products .
