My order and payment was processed on…

My order and payment was processed on 7th October. It is now 20th October and I still have not received my order. This is now the third time this has happened and just isn’t good enough.

Hi Stuart,

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review.

We're really sorry for the confusion and disappointment you've experienced, and we understand how frustrating it must be not receiving your order when expected, especially as this has happened more than once.

We've looked into things and reached out to you directly with an explanation. In short, it looks like your charge and delivery dates have fallen out of sync. This can happen because charge dates always fall on the same day each month, while deliveries are timed based on your most recent box.

If a delivery date has ever been changed in the past, it can create a knock-on effect over time. We're currently working on improving our system so charge and delivery dates stay better aligned, but in the meantime, we've offered a couple of ways we can fix things for you now.

If there's anything else we can do for you, we'd love to know. We're here to help.

Thanks again for your review - although it's disappointing, we're grateful for the feedback, and I really hope we can make things right.

Delicious cheese and a near-perfect experience

The cheese is excellent and the shopping experience was essentially perfect.

Dinging a star for: clearly a cheese in our order was out of stock and was substituted (though this was not told to us prior to receiving the delivery), and information on the substitute cheese was not provided.

It’s hard to be at all mad as, firstly, I understand that stock shortages happen, a similar cheese was substituted, and it was delicious. Just writing this to say, if cheesegeek is chasing a perfect customer experience - that would be my definition :)

Hello,

Thank you so much for the kind words. 🫶 We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed picking out your yellow stuff, and that it tasted great, too!

Due to the artisan, producer-led, small-batch nature of our range, all of our cheeses are subject to availability - so thank you for understanding that, on rare occasions, we may have to substitute an item in your order.

Next time, we'll be sure to give you a heads up about any substitutions made. We're really grateful for the honest feedback - it's what helps us get better for our lovely customers.

Thanks again!

Excellent cheese gift box

Excellent cheese gift box! I came across Cheese Geek after receiving a gift box. I've used this service many times, both for myself and for sending gifts. The hardest part is picking from the amazing selection, but the ordering is otherwise simple. Delivery has always been prompt and without issue. The cheeses come with great detail cards. Highly recommend this as a standout gift!

A proper occasion every time!

It always feels like such a treat. The cheese selection is beautifully curated, and the tasting notes make it so fun to sit down and do a little at home cheese tasting.

Hello,

Thank you so much for your wonderful review – this is exactly the kind of experience we hope to create! 🧀✨

We design every box with the goal of making the eating of the cheese feel just as special as the cheese itself, so we’re absolutely thrilled to hear you enjoyed the curated selection and had fun with the tasting notes.

We couldn’t agree more – cheese should always feel like a treat, and we’re so glad we could bring a little slice of that joy to your doorstep.

Here’s to many more delicious home tastings!

Hello,

Firstly, a big cheesy thanks for the kind words about our packaging! 🎁

Sorry to hear this month’s selection didn’t quite hit the spot for you – we totally get that cheese can be a bit like Marmite sometimes (but… better). We'd love to hear which ones weren’t your faves so we can help.

Drop us a line at hello@thecheesegeek.com
– we’re always here for a good cheese chat, and to make things right if we can.

Here’s to the next box being a real brie-lliant one! 🧀✨

Great service and GREAT CHEESE!

Friendly and responsive service, and even better, wonderfully delicious cheese! I've given my wonderful in-laws a 3-monthly subscription and it's such a treat every time it comes round. Plenty to enjoy themselves and to share with visitors. The unboxing is a joy, the cheeses arrive ready to enjoy and there's a varied selection for everyone's tastes. And I really appreciate the heads-up before a delivery comes and the ease of changing dates if it's not a good time (e.g. before they're away).

Hi Patrin,

What an absolute joy it was to read your review - thank you so much for taking the time to share your kind words!💛

At cheesegeek, we’ve always believed that cheese should be more than just food - it should be an experience. From the moment you place your order to the excitement of delivery day, and finally to enjoying your fromage with friends and family, we’re thrilled to hear that this has been your experience.

We put a lot of love into curating our monthly selections, making sure each box offers variety, discovery, and a bit of cheesy magic. And when it comes to deliveries, our team of curd nerds is always here to help - we like to keep things as smooth as a perfectly melted Gouda.

Thanks again for being part of the gang!

All the best,

Truly excellent offerings

Truly excellent offerings, probably the best purveyors of cheese around. We can’t wait for each delivery to come round, always such a great variety that complements each other nicely. I gave it as a gift to my husband for his birthday and it was his favourite present (a years supply of cheese)

Hi Chris,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, and we’re so sorry to hear that your experience didn’t live up to expectations.

Your order was unfortunately delayed twice due to some unexpected operational hiccups behind the scenes. While our team worked incredibly hard to get everything back on track (which we’re pleased to say it now is), we absolutely understand how frustrating the delays must have been - especially when you're looking forward to a cheese delivery!

We did our best to keep you updated throughout, but had we known you were unhappy at the time, we would have done everything we could to prioritise your box for earlier delivery. We also offered a 50% discount on a future order as a small gesture of goodwill - while we know it doesn’t make up for the disruption, we hoped it would go some way toward acknowledging the inconvenience caused.

We're really sorry to hear your tasting notes were missing - they’re such a big part of the cheesegeek experience, and we know how much they add to the enjoyment. Had we known, we would have been more than happy to email you a PDF copy straight away.

Our team is always on hand and happy to help with anything at all - so if there’s anything else we can do to make things right, please don’t hesitate to reach out at hello@thecheesegeek.com.

We’re truly sorry we fell short this time, but we’re grateful for your honest feedback and hope we get the chance to restore your faith in us.

Warmest wishes,
Jen

I brought a selection of cheese for my brother, a huge cheesophile. I did not have the chance to sample the cheese as I live on the other side of the world, but I was told it is delicious. Delivery was prompt and smooth.
