Many highlight the excellent customer service, noting that interactions are pleasant and efficient, even when discussing cancellations. The products, particularly the beer selections, are frequently described as great, offering a wide variety that customers enjoy. However, some customers also noted that the cancellation process can be difficult, primarily because it requires a phone call rather than an online option.

I was a member for years

I was a member for years, I've had numerous interesting beers for a fair subscription cost.
I've had to cancel due to a change in personal circumstances, bit of a faff to have to call during office hours (some of us aren't free during these times) instead of being able cancel online.
But Kaye was very polite and professional. I may be back in the future if my circumstances change again.

Average overpriced products, awful cancellation process

I signed up to Beer52 through an introductory offer that appeared in my Sky Deals. I thought it was worth trying - if I liked it, I'd stay subscribed; if not, I'd just cancel.

The beers / wines / whisky / coffee were okay, but nothing particularly special. For the price, I didn't think they offered good value, which is why I decided not to continue my subscription.

The biggest issue, however, was the cancellation process. The website gives the impression that you can cancel online, but instead you're taken through multiple pages asking why you're leaving and repeatedly trying to persuade you to stay with various offers. After spending time answering all of those questions, you're then told that you HAVE TO PHONE to complete the cancellation.

After waiting in a queue, you're asked many of the same questions again before you can finally cancel. It feels like the online process is deliberately designed to wear you down rather than let you manage your subscription.

I've cancelled plenty of subscriptions over the years, and this is the first one where I wasn't actually able to complete the cancellation online despite it initially appearing that I could. I struggle to believe the reviews claiming the cancellation process is "easy", as that certainly wasn't my experience.

If Beer52 genuinely wanted former customers to come back in the future, they'd make leaving as easy as signing up. Instead, the frustrating cancellation process has meant that I won't be subscribing again. Ever.

Subscription Cancellation

The guy I spoke with to cancel my subscription was lovely, though I do find the idea of not being able to cancel online irritating. It’s a great marketing tactic, but does not address those customers who may be averse to speaking to companies via phone and therefore I wouldn’t say it’s entirely consumer friendly and putting customers first.

Great product spoiled by aggressive sales

The product and concept is excellent. Reliable delivery, interesting beers, great offers. Why I've knocked off 2 stars is for the aggressive sell when trying to cancel, I'd be much more likely to dip in an out of a subscription if the cancellation was much easier. I don't want to be offered coffee or wine subscriptions as an alternative, I just wanted to cancel.

Hi Sara. Thank you for your review. 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.

Good Customer Service and Good Beer

I've used Beer52 and Wine 52 a couple of times. And the beers are always good choices and I like how random the beers are. I cancelled but it was nothing that Beer 52 done which caused me to do it. Quick delivery. Good chat with customer services. Will join again in the future
