Signed up for twice weekly delivery of milk from a man who knocked at MY door. 3/4 months of milk, then one day none! I called and was told they don’t deliver to my address and shouldn’t have been set up ( and continued for 24+ deliveries!) No notice it was going to stop so I could prepare for Monday morning, a text hours AFTER it should have been delivered.. cheers!! Customer service so rude and unhelpful, no apology, only concerned with the £6.87 owed for milk before they stopped, that was not even due yet! Absolutely shocking service from this company!

Service is worse than poor. Can't cancel . When you try to cancel using your phone you are asked to press 4. You then end up in an endless queue Avoid this company.

They came knocking at my door completely unsolicited, a company I'd never heard of before, asking me to set up a direct debit with them. I told them I'd give them a chance so long as I could pay on receipt of an invoice and not through DD. The man at the door agreed I could do that. I've have never been badgered by a company in all my life like this outfit, they practically were demanding every day by phone that I set up a DD. In the end I cancelled with them and paid my account as per their invoice after talking to member of staff in their head office. Now they are demanding I pay them £2.39 for money owed ??? Do be aware of this company, give them a wide berth. I've never felt it necessary to write a review like this before, people need to know.

Bullies! An appalling experience, that seems to follow many of the stories below. My 80 yr old Mother took up a weeks trial, but a) the milk was in plastic cartons not glass ( defeating her reason to use a milkman) and b) the correct order arrived only for the first week, the following week only 1 of 3 cartons. So she cancelled by phone & was reassured the direct debit would be cancelled. She was then hounded by pressurising sales calls persuading her to try again for the next few weeks, followed by bullying calls threatening debt collectors for a £6 bill! The aggressive caller ( who I could not hear because the call centre was so loud) claimed she had never cancelled her direct debit and said they record all calls. She certainly did cancel but how can she prove this? She is now too scared to answer the phone from any 0330 number and doesn't know how to solve this. If McQueens can't solve it we'll be taking this to Trading Standards and Consumer Rights Groups. Has all the signs of a company going under Do not sign up for McQueens Dairies

After the first 3 bottles I never heard from them again. Had been advised was a trial run but no one showed any interest in contacting me so completely forgot about it until I got a letter in the post weeks later with threats to have a debt collection agency come after me unless I paid £3 I owed them? Flabbergasted with the experience, such a complete failure to communicate (lied saying they had tried to contact, no letters emails or calls which I can prove), and now this? Shameful, unprofessional and litigious, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Absolutely awful. Do NOT use this company. My first order was delivered to wrong house and when i eventually got the order it was all wrong. Phoned and complained and was told sorry. They advised they would resend milk I said no I didn’t want it. Low and behold next day got the milk. I cancelled everything and never heard anymore until recently (few months later) when I get email saying I owe them £2.69 and they would take me to court. Said they had tried to make contact. I had never heard from them. I emailed them and got no reply. I paid the petty £2.69 and still not heard anything. Please do not purchase from them they are amateurs and a disgraceful company.

Do not trust this company. They come to tour door. Offer you free milk and then say "if you like the milk, you can then set up an account". They then hound you and make threats to take further action on a 3 pound payment. Do not trust this company!

AVOID‼️ A worker came to my home asking if we wanted to trial one for free,they went asking all down my street,so i agreed just to try it out. He said that it will not be charged for and we will let them know if we want to continue. After looking at prices compared to supermarket/personal preference we decided not to bother to call and not to ask to proceed! For 3 weeks they had been delivering milk! We couldn’t even drink the milk as we was unaware it would be delivered and was found later on in the sunny days on the back doorstep out of sight!I had called twice,once the lady was rude because the call wasn’t connecting and hung up and didn’t call me back! then i called again and was speaking to a man,i was calling to say we didn’t want these deliveries and they need to stop and cancel. The man on the phone was nice to start with and then got “defensive” because i said we would prefer to buy it at a local super market!He questioned wouldn’t i rather support them?After repeating myself He then agreed to cancel but he said we have to pay an outstanding balance?! We didn’t want the milk! and we couldn’t even drink it after it’s been sat in the sun all day.He also let me know that if it wasn’t payed that they would be calling again.I would not recommend getting involved with them it’s a waste of time and more like a manipulative company! I would like to also add, they called me almost everyday multiple times! I work and have children, if i am not awnsering calls i’m sure it means i am not interested or busy so why keep repeatedly calling me.

Twice vsited by a salesman telling me McQueens were a local company. They are national so that is a lie. When I challenged the second one on this he became abusive. I told him I had my milk delivered by Waitrose and he said that I was putting money into the pockets of shareholders. When I pointed out that Waitrose had no shareholders he laughed and told me I was stupid! Couple of my neighbours signed up so every time they delivered I was woken up at 2 or 3am with a milk truck's noisy engine just below my bedroom window. Many complaints in my village of milk being mis-delivered. I had three pints on my doorstep once,not mine as I'm not a customer, and when I phoned to tell customer services they weren't at all bothered that someone in my village had obviously not had their milk. I'd give up milk rather than use this terrible company.

Started deliveries with McQueens because I was promised the service here was much better than at my old house 50 miles away. The Milk is delivered so early in the night that there is no chill left in the carton by morning. Upon calling to cancel I was offered a free trial of apple juice which I continued with, nobody told me how much the apple juice was so I was shocked when my next direct debit came out charging for milk and apple juice. Told them I wanted to cancel and as soon as he realised I wasn't budging all I got was that's it cancelled and hung up on so I certainly would not recommend ever trying this shower of cowboys.

They took us on as a newcustomer, delivered once then stopped delivering. Didn't contact us or arrange a refund until I called. Very poor service.

Awful company. Not even deserving of one star. Had milkshakes delivered to my door that I did not order. Phoned McQueens to try and return them. I was told they are not able to collect milk that has been delivered but I could either keep it or throw it out. I told them we did not like their milkshakes so we wouldn't drink them. They told me to throw them out and I would not be charged. They still took the money from my bank. I called to tell them I had been charged and that I was told I would not be charged and they tried to gaslight me and told me their employee did not say I wouldn't be charged. Absolute lies from a morally bankrupt company. They don't care about farmers, they only care about scamming customers. Please do not give this company your bank details!

I buy the oat milk from this company and the one they deliver is the fresh version in the carton not the long life. Twice an week it is delivered at a ridiculous time in the middle of the night to sit in the doorstep . I doubt it is even refrigerated on its journey to me, why we’ll because despite having got up to bring it in immediately after delivery the cat one is bulging. This means that the oat milk has got warm and started to ferment. I have had to throw every carton away over the last few months when the weather has been warmer and at over £2 a carton it’s not cheap! I have complained via email to no avail. Cancelled for holidays , had it ignored . Had enough now I just can’t afford to throw my money down the sink twice a week and then have to go out to buy it anyway. They don’t listen, they don’t stop when meant to and yet just continue to take your money. Support someone local , this company just don’t care about their customers.

I was previously with Speirs Dairy and this company took over. I wasn't informed this had happened either by Speirs or McQueens until I received a text asking me to set up a direct debit to McQueens. I then investigated and found out Speirs has retired which is a shame because I could not fault them. I've heard bad things about McQueens so phoned to cancel (as this is the only way) and was lectured for 13 minutes on why I shouldn't cancel. I asked to cancel about 5 times during that phone call before they finally did. I asked them to send me my customer number so I could make a £3 payment to them online (I don't hand out my bank details to people I'm not familiar with over the phone). I was told I'd be texted it within 5 to 10 minutes of the phone call ending. I never received it so I guess they don't want their £3 (although my contract was with Speirs not McQueens - if i had known in advance of the delivery i would have requested an immediate cancellation). To be honest, the milk I received this morning was room temp and the eggs were a standard far lower than what I received previously from Speirs. The phone call with McQueens has pretty much guaranteed that I will never decide to sign up to them. If you want your £3 you better send me my customer number because there is no way I am phoning you back after that experience.

Who wants milk delivered at 1am for it to sit on the doorstep til 8am when you get up? Also the van drivers speed consistently through this cul de sac and it is ridiculous

If I could leave zero stars I would! The attitude of the staff on the cancellation team acting like I'm trying to cancel car finance. Was offered a Trial period and out of pressure at my front door I caved. The first Milk was delivered and straight away I phoned and tried to cancel the future delivery. This consisted of 3 different call handlers battering me for reasons why I'm cancelling. I hate to think if an older person or vulnerable people are trying to cancel they will be taken advantage of. Threatened action over £2.40 ??? Genuine over the phone bullying and guilt tactics. Do not use this product! The milk Is still on my doorstepbi refuse to drink it.

Seen people snooping around the front of my house acting suspicious at half past midnight. Came out with my baseball bat and it was their milk men quickly rushing off at speed in their van.

Appalling service. Within a month of starting my order I had complained three times that the milk was getting delivered to the wrong place, additionally I submitted a holiday through their website which was just completely ignored. On the second call I was issued with a refund and a complaint was raised and I agreed to give them another chance. By the third call though I decided that enough was enough and cancelled my order. They tried desperately to keep me and were very polite and apologetic until they realised that they weren’t getting anywhere with me. It was then a quick “right I’ve cancelled your order” and hung up. Appalling service and would not recommend to anyone. In the future I’d much rather go with a local milkman.

Where to begin. Sadly can’t find anything positive to say about this company. Milk is sour after a day, I doubt it’s even fresh when it comes off the delivery van. Customer service is absolutely appalling, anytime you phone they simply do not want to know. It was hit and miss if the milk even turned up at all. Avoid at all costs. If you want glass bottle milk it’s available at local shop in Edinburgh.
