Renewed to 5 *
Signed up from door canvasser, waited until Saturday when first order was meant to arrive, never arrived - now feel tricked into giving my money for the subscription service too Follow up: Had a call from Linda Walker in the team and we spoke over the experience of the door canvass, back on the round now and at a much more reasonable explanation of the product and how it works. 5/5 for the customer service provided by Linda.
Poor on every level
I signed up after a canvasser knocked at the door with the promise of fantastic service and a great range of products. After signing up, we found out there was no bacon or sausages to buy and everything was overpriced. First order came and it was okay. The second order had a missing item which I then had to raise a case I requested a refund but received credit in the app instead, which was less than how much was owed. And then emailed customer services to receive the remaining amount plus have it returned to my bank account. They did not reply. At this point, I just decided to use the credit that was refunded to me by buying some of their cinnamon Cruffins. The quality of these were disappointing, especially after being told that the bakery items were made fresh. I then closed my account. Edit: After closing my account on 12th September 2026 I received a confirmation email which stated I could use the service until 26th Sept. I chose not to and promptly cancelled my direct debit. After the 26th Sept I wrote the review above, 2 days later I receive a message from my bank saying there was a failed payment to Modern Milkman. They are still trying to take money from me, customer services have been emailed - no response.

Good milk apps kinda trash Fix bugs plz
Not Great. Dodgy service mostly complicated to trick you into paying for stuff.
Ive seen that its a common issue that people have a scheduled delivery upon first order (in my case 26th of August) and that order never arrived. They also hve scheduled an upcoming subscription charge for me which clearly states I have not signed up for the membership. They make it certainly very hard for you to cancel anything. Making you contact support that eagerly offer u discounts to refrain from cancelling. Im disappointed as I thought the website was genuine.
has been ok, but feels like a dying business
Ive been using this service for 18 months, and its been convenient and very reliable. But the product range has been shrinking over time. First with the artisan buns which were replaced with standard supermarket trash, and then discontinued altogether. Now sourdough loaves are discontinued too. Getting fresh bread delivered was a big factor in me subscribing So whats left is some basic essentials and a bunch of eco products, which isn't enough and turns out could just be bought cheaper from Deliveroo. Maybe you could team up with Riverford to supply fresh herbs and artisan bread, and more vegetables instead of just basic spuds. The USP is disappearing
Amazing!
Best customer service from any company. Super friendly and delicious products. First review I’ve ever done so you know I’m happy aha. Honestly try it it’s amazing!
Worse service ever
I am trying to cancel my account. I have tried many times but no one from there team connected with me. They are scamming people. 0/10. Also bad quality products.
Review
The problem is with unreliablei deliveries and they never answer your questions about It, so you are left in the lurch. Unable to get to the root of the problem, otherwise the products I chose are to my liking.and happy with them. Thanks.
Nice idea but expensive
2 people arrived at my door on my children’s bedtime and sold this to me. Told me there was free delivery for the first month…. I’m all for saving plastic but this is expensive but thought I’d give it a go to save waste and pay the farmers more. Signed up and paid for the milk, checked my bank account and had been charged for a monthly subscription separately as well. So it’s cost me over £16 for 8 pints of milk. Absolute con. I’ve emailed to cancel the milk deliveries. I’ve cancelled my subscription today and had an email to say it’s been renewed.
Convenient
Love having milk delivered n now there r more items to order . Several issues im finding it hard to undo the top esp w lemon curd mini pots . It is also rather expensive . I appreciate able to edit day b4. I hv not ordered the Wookey cheese for a while as I was put off when there was a bite mark at the corner of the Wookey cheese . I did comment at the time . But no response alas . It’s a delicious cheese I would recommend it and giving the team another chance to ensure better inspection of items before delivery.
Lovely products!
We are retired and need some help with essentials. We loved the range of milk and butter, and were delighted of the quality of the fresh produce. It’s great that you only have to commit to a few products a week, but can add on extras the night before if you’re running low on things like butter or eggs. Or if you’re like us, why not add on some chocolate or treats, too!
Great service until it wasn’t
It’s a great service until you want to leave then you get snarky customer support people taking zero responsibility for the hoops you need to jump through. It’s really pulled the whole experience down for me. The response to my rating actually made this worse. No sincerity and no responsibility, ok I guess you don’t need my custom again. Great plan guys 👏👏👏 good luck
Underwhelmed
Great idea unfortunately the delivery of the service does not translate into actual action.
Good service, App needs work
The service is really good, but the App has a few glitches - have had a couple of occasions where I wanted to skip a delivery but the App came up with an error message so I couldn’t skip the delivery!
Andry ****
I love it, easy, fast and delicious ❤️😋
Can’t find address
I mean… if you say you service the area but can’t find my address. What is the point?
Crashes
First time user, not been able to order anything due to the app crashing constantly, Tried resetting and re downloading the app but unfortunately no luck.
Farm
Love everything It tastes so much better than supermarket stuff
Can’t contact
My phone number is accepted but I do not get a response to password reminder in my email.
Freshly squeezed orange juice tastes like it has milk in it.
I tried the freshly squeezed orange juice and found it had a strong after taste of milk. This was very off putting so i wont be buying it again.
worth a try
this app is wonderful! i love their iced coffee milkshakes, they taste absolutely delicious. i’ve used modern milkman for two years and haven’t had any issues aside from getting the wrong item twice. when i raised this with them i received a refund both times which i can’t complain about, mistakes do happen and it’s not often. if they ever stop making the iced coffee shakes i’ll be so disappointed
Shockingly bad service
Constant missed deliveries, terrible customer service trying to wiggle their way out of refunding me. They seemed to think it was acceptable that they’d charged me £25.69 for two pints of milk successfully delivered. Total joke, stay clear
App is not intuitive
Given that most people using this app want to order products to be delivered on a regular (and sometimes one-off) basis it is not as easy as it should be to add and remove items from your delivery days. The app focuses on you selecting products rather than on what products you want on what day. Surely it could be set up more simply? Added to which our delivery is delivered to the wrong place at our house at least half the time.
Great delivery service
Love getting milk in glass bottles again and less plastics. Lots of products delivered straight to the door. Great Service, would recommend.
Not delivered
3rd delivery in a row that hasn’t turned up. Customer Services are excellent at returning my money but the milkman isn’t leaving proof of delivery. Waiting to see what they say this time. Will delete my account when I get my money back.
Essentials
Amazing service, if anything is missing or not to standard sorted straight away and love the app how you can pause and add more to my order.
Bad quality
Most of stuff you can get it in super markets for cheaper price, and my milk and salmon received warm condition
LOVE IT
Modern Milkman app can take a while to navigate at first but once you’re off, you won’t be able to stop! I feel super organised having my milk delivered when I need it, and it’s a life saver for last minute bits like eggs, bread and juice for the morning as well. I can order up until 8pm and have it on my doorstep in the morning. When it’s cold and miserable, it’s comforting to know I don’t need to leave the house for last minute essentials any more. Thanks modern milkman!
I was taken advantage of by door canvassers as someone battling cancer.
I was signed up to modern milkman today after the door canvassers approached my house. I thought it was a good idea and was willing to give it a go as I’ve always thought it’s better to support local. I mentioned living with family and being unsure if they’d be interested or not to which the door canvassers said they’d come back later once I had chance to discuss. They came back to my house at around half 7 and now I know why. I explained my parents weren’t interested and it would just be me. I repeatedly mentioned to the canvassers that I’m not looking to sign up for anything but I would be willing to give a one time order a go. I downloaded the app and added items to my order as a one time order, only to find out when I’ve handed the canvassers my phone to add the 20% discount code and get the reciept number, they’ve signed me up to a repeat order on subscription. Something I SPECIFICALLY said I DID NOT want. While chatting away to the door canvassers I explained I wasn’t very well at the moment as I’m battling stage 2 blood cancer, so not only have they signed me up for something I did NOT agree too, they also knew my circumstances and now I feel they have taken advantage of me big time. Because not only did they change my order from a one time order to a repeat order, they also in the process got my order wrong. I ordered the strawberry and chocolate milkshake and the Sicilian Lemonade, well when they’ve decided to modify my order for me and put me on a subscription I DID NOT consent too, they changed the Sicilian lemonade to a white chocolate milkshake. Clearly they couldn’t remember what I’d added to my order and knew they were doing me over so didn’t ask. I went straight to the help centre once I realised what they had done as again I did NOT consent to being signed up to a subscription and I do NOT consent to a rolling subscription or repeat orders, only to find out the help centre shut at 19:30hrs. I now have to wait until the morning where I will be cancelling my subscription and I will be deleting my account too. It’s absolutely disgusting the door canvassers would do this to someone with cancer who explicitly, and multiple times told them they wanted a ONE TIME ORDER and did NOT want to sign up for anything. I would’ve been willing to try the products, but now I just feel taken advantage of, and scammed. If I couldn’t get the discount without being signed up to repeat orders, this should have been explained to me and I’d have shut my door. I have been intentionally lied to and decided by the young men who came to my door.
Excellent company
Modern Milkman is an excellent and reliable company. We have been getting milk from them for years and they never disappoint. The product is top quality and the service is great. I would recommend them to anyone.
Canvassers
I cancelled soon after the canvasser left as he failed to mention the membership fee. The service would be too expensive for me for a few pints of milk. Also, The MM do not bother to reply to your emails. I won’t be using them again.
