I wish i'd checked trust pilot before i was tared with the same brush. Got the friendly face at the door which I was hesitant about even answering. I was then asked if I wanted their 'free trial'. Foolishly said yea why not. Apparently this is a verbal contract and gives them the right to just send you milk and bombard you with calls to give them your bank details! How is this even happening in this day and age. DO NOT GIVE ANY DETAILS OVER. No bank details off me thank you very much. Learn how to run a proper business.

Hi Gary,

We're very sorry to hear about your experience with us. To clarify, when you sign up through one of our representatives at your door is a trial period that is chargeable for you try our services before committing to weekly deliveries. Once you receive your first delivery, our team reaches out to see if you would like to proceed to set up payment method and continue deliveries.

We are very sorry to hear that this was not clear from the beginning. The representative at the door should have provided a leaflet which explains the process. We will certainly pass your feedback to our sales team to improve our communication and messaging.

Once again we do apologise for the inconvenience caused. Thank you for providing feedback as it helps us improve our services going forward.

Free trial…misrepresentation

Had a nice young lad show up at my doorstep and he explained this as a free trial for one and then decide if you like it or not. Turns out it was a misrepresentation, the minimum subscription is 4 weeks.
Seems like a ridiculous way to try and get money. I kept receiving deliveries I didn’t ask for, and it’s just regular alpro almond milk. I can get it myself from the shop. There’s actually better organic options at any regular supermarket.
Then they bombard you with calls and messages. I finally called to cancel and the guy mentioned that I owed money for delivery. Why not just be honest from the very beginning and say that it’s a 4 weeks subscription. What a dodgy way to get money out of people. That’s misrepresentation and illegal to do this to a consumer! Will be raising a complaint with the Financial Ombudsman!

Hi B.K - Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We apologise that the trial and subscription were not explained to you clearly and that this has left you feeling misled.

To clarify, we do not have a four-week minimum subscription, and customers are free to cancel at any time. While we offer a trial period, this is not a free delivery, but an opportunity to try our products before deciding whether to continue with the service. We appreciate, however, that this was clearly not how the offer was explained to you, and we apologise for the confusion and frustration this has caused.

We’d like to look into what happened, including the information provided when you signed up and the subsequent deliveries, and interactions you had with our team.

We have sent across a request for more information, so that we can investigate this internally and review the circumstances with the relevant team.

Thank you again for raising this with us. We take concerns about how our offers are explained seriously and will do our best to ensure this is resolved with you ASAP.

Milk is good IF it's delivered...

Milk is good IF it's delivered. I have had nothing but issues with this company and still not able to cancel as they push and push for you to stay. My delivery instructions have been on my account since the day I signed up. The issue is, the delivery drivers aren't listening to instructions. I live in an area where things get stolen if left in plain sight, hence why my instructions are there. Anyway, the drivers leave my milk on the doorstep every Tuesday and Friday, guess what? STOLEN. EVERY SINGLE TIME. Despite the weekly complaints I make, this isn't being resolved. I message on the online chat - 'I have escalated this to the depot manager' still happens. I call up - SAME THING! OK you issue a credit, but I don't want that. I want my milk, delivered to the correct spot but you can't seem to accommodate that.

I am so fed up of the poor service this company provides. Teach your drivers how to read delivery instructions, they are there for a reason.

To add - I have just called to cancel and your customer service is terrible. I spoke to a girl called Carly (?) her attitude was disgraceful when I said I wanted to cancel. Appreciate you want to keep customers but if I'm calling to cancel, don't keep pushing people to stay. I gave so many chances for this to be sorted and you didn't so you have lost a customer. Sort your staff out and give some extensive training on customer service. No need to be rude when someone wants to leave. Joke of a company.

Hi Kylie,

We're very sorry to hear about your experience with us. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide.

It is disappointing to hear that, despite providing delivery instructions, these were not followed by the driver on multiple occasions. We completely understand how frustrating this must have been, particularly as it resulted in your deliveries being repeatedly stolen. This is not acceptable, and we're sorry that this happened.

You are absolutely right that a credit does not resolve the underlying issue. At the end of the day, you need to receive the products you have ordered, and we appreciate how disappointing it must have been to be left without your milk. Delivery instructions are there for a reason, and they should have been followed.

We are also very concerned to hear about your interaction with one of our agents. The attitude you have described falls far below the standards of customer service we expect, and we're sorry that you were made to feel this way when discussing your cancellation. This is not the experience we want any customer to have.

We have sent a request for further information so that we can investigate these concerns in more detail. Your feedback is important to us, and we would like the opportunity to look into this fully.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused.

Avoid unless you like potential problems ...

Decided to give McQueens a try following a doorstep conversation. Tried to access my account but the process failed. One of their representatives phoned the day after to try to obtain my bank details for direct debit and to persuade me to order additional products. Advised him of the difficulty I was experiencing trying to access my account. He promised to sort it out. Nothing happened. Tried to access my account again this time using the verification via email route. No email received.
Phoned to cancel and was met with the usual hollow promises to sort my account out. It was a difficult conversation as the person at the other end of the phone constantly interrupted.
Take my advice and give this company a very wide body swerve as they are difficult to deal with.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We're very sorry to hear that you've had trouble accessing your customer portal.

It is disappointing to hear that, after explaining the issue to one of our advisors, you did not receive a resolution. We would have expected the advisor to investigate the problem thoroughly and provide support to help you regain access to your account, so we're sorry this did not happen.

We're also very sorry to hear that you have decided to cancel your service with us following the numerous unsuccessful attempts to access your account. We understand how frustrating this must have been. We never want our customers to experience difficulties when managing or cancelling their accounts, and we will ensure your feedback is shared with the relevant teams to help improve our service going forward.

Additionally, we're sorry to hear that you felt interrupted during your phone conversation. We appreciate how important it is for customers to feel listened to and supported, and we're disappointed that this was not your experience.

Once again, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused and thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback.

Harassment?

Following my last review, I am now receiving text messages from McQueens telling me to pay the £1.41 they say I owe them before they "take further action". They want me to ring THEM. Why not ring me?

As per my previous review, this sum is for an item they delivered THAT I DIDN'T order! It's here for them to collect. They are welcome to come + pick it up (as previously mentioned).

I'm 76 years old + suffered a a serious heart attack 3 months ago. I'm at home most of the time. McQueens are bullies + a company registered in Prague (??).

The milk was ok but felt taste has become more watery 🤷🏻‍♀️ , been customer by force for the past two years!

I would like to express exactly how i feel now , I had felt sorry for door man so wanted to try it .

Ladies and gentlemen this company have been forcing me not to cancel my orders as this is no contract! They push you to the next level just to stay !!

I told them to cancel my orders 6 months ago while being abroad they just put it on hold without my consent! I’m back to uk then I see all these payments had gone out knowing I’m not here nore they have send milk n eggs 🤔

Just again last week I strongly said cancel my orders ! After many attempts of negotiating with me 👀 I said no dear cancel or I will make complaint and will escalate this to the next level and take you to court so man behind the phone agrees to cancel … well guess what he didn’t cancel the order I was breastfeeding my one week old baby now I just saw they charged my account at 3:15 AM today despite my explicit cancellation last week.I have tried to cancel this service for the past 6 months via phone and email. For two years, your drivers have left deliveries unsecured where foxes eat the eggs and damage the milk. I have CCTV footage and call recordings of these ongoing issues.Last week, after a long negotiation, your sales agent finally agreed to cancel my account. Despite this, you took payment today.

I have decided to take them to court for me it’s very easy we have 9 lawyers in one family , why I’m going to do this it’s not about few pounds is about the respect for clients right . ( I didn’t have the ehhs for the past two years I have proofs many of it, they don’t provide you with box 📦 outside so they can leave it gently like all other farm companies, they don’t care about your feelings or your money…)

I hope everyone starts to cancel their orders

Hi Bnar,

We are very sorry to hear about your experience with us. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide.

We're sorry to hear that you've found our milk to be more watery lately. We take great pride in the quality of our products, so it is concerning to hear that we may have fallen short of your expectations.

We're also sorry that you found the cancellation process difficult. We aim to provide a seamless and straightforward experience for all our customers, and we're disappointed that this was not your experience.

It is particularly concerning to hear that, after requesting a cancellation due to moving abroad for six months, a holiday pause was applied without your consent and payments continued to be taken. We understand why this would be frustrating, and we would like to investigate this matter further.

Regarding the payment taken after your recent cancellation request, our payments are collected in arrears, so this may have been a final payment to clear any outstanding balance on the account. However, we would still like to review this fully to ensure everything has been handled correctly.

We have sent you a request for some additional information so that we can investigate this further. We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience caused and appreciate the opportunity to look into this for you.

They don't deliver and take your money AVOID AT ALL COSTS - complete con, and you cannot cancel easily!
Despite it looking great they don't deliver and are great on the phone, but then ignore it all anyway and keep charging you with no deliveries. Blaming their systems of course!

"free" trial, then demanded to pay

Door salespersons (3) at my door pitched a free trial of milk. Was explained to me that I would get a bottle to try, then I'd get a call to discuss if I'd like to set up ongoing deliveries. Was then receiving multiple daily calls or texts about setting up and making payments. Logged on to find they had set up a reoccurring delivery which I could not cancel myself online. At no point had I consented to ongoing deliveries past the trail bottle or any related charges. I had not set up any payment options but received another bottle that I did not agree to receiving. When I phoned I was told that I would not have been told by the door salespeople at my door that it was a free trial. My doorbell footage from the conversation confirms although they never said the word free, everything else about the way it was communicated made it seem like a free taster, and with no obligation to continue past the first bottle. No costs were discussed during the conversation and the words "give it a try for maybe a day or two next week", again supporting the assumption that it was a free bottle and non-obligatory continuation.

The call handler then said that I would still be expected to pay for all the milk I had received.

Their sales tactics feel like they just want to get people looped into their system, without their full consent and everything about my interactions with this company has felt icky. I'd be cautious.

Hi there - Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.

We’re sorry to hear about the experience you’ve had. This is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide.

We do apologise that, when you spoke with our canvasser, it was not made clear how our trial period works. While we do offer a trial period, this is not a free trial. Customers can try our products and, if they decide they are not for them, they can cancel at any time as there is no ongoing commitment.

We have sent you a request for further information so that we can review your account and the circumstances surrounding the deliveries. This will also allow us to look into the calls and other interactions you’ve had with our team and ensure that any appropriate action is taken regarding charges for products you did not intend to receive.

We take concerns about how our products, trial periods and delivery arrangements are explained to customers very seriously. Your feedback will also be passed to the relevant sales team manager for review.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and apologise for the frustration caused. We hope to speak with you soon and get this resolved as quickly as possible.

Hi Anne,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your recent experience with us. This is certainly not the level of service we strive to provide.

We're pleased to hear that you were happy with the delivery service itself, but we're disappointed to learn that you experienced significant pushback when requesting to cancel your account. While our team may try to understand the reasons behind a cancellation and offer solutions where possible, it is never our intention to make customers feel pressured after they have made their decision. We apologise if this was the impression you were left with.

It is also particularly concerning to hear that you believe you were overcharged by £2 and that, after requesting a refund, the issue was not resolved. We understand how frustrating this must be, and we would like the opportunity to investigate the matter further and ensure it is addressed appropriately.

To help us look into this, we have reached out for further information and hope to hear back from you soon. We are keen to get this sorted for you as quickly as possible.

Once again, we sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration caused. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention, and we hope to resolve this matter for you shortly.

Direct Debit Debacle

Loved the milk, you should try it, so much better. Loved the service. Loved the fact that we were helping real farms not supermarkets
So why get one star?
Our Direct Debit goes out on the first of the month. This month Aug 26 the first is a Saturday.
We pay by direct debit thus cannot fall behind.
So my surprise to find “my account had exceeded its payment terms” we owe £7:02 not because of anything we did, but because they did not take the money on the following Monday. I had just arrived home from working away.
The Email I received was quite aggressive in tone for something that is not our error.
Quite burst the bubble for me to be honest.
Have a look on the internet there are quite a few messages out there so you can formulate your own views. Your customer service needs a complete overhaul.
