Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the high quality of the products, noting the freshness and superior taste of items like milk, eggs, and orange juice compared to supermarket alternatives. People appreciate the convenience of having fresh produce delivered directly to their doorstep, often in the early hours, and the ease of managing orders, including making changes or pausing deliveries. The service is frequently described as reliable and efficient, with many consumers enjoying the environmental benefit of reusable glass bottles. However, some customers experienced issues with the delivery service, including incorrect or missed deliveries, items arriving at the wrong address, or products being delivered too early, leading to spoilage. A few people also found the online system and order management confusing at times, and some noted that certain products, like eggs, had a short shelf life.

Excellent. Lovely quality, great website - easy to use, great price for good quality food and supplies. So nice to have the convenience to get essentials, fresh, in the morning, on the doorstep. Reminds us of how peaceful and comfortable life could be.

Love having fresh milk delivered 3…

Love having fresh milk delivered 3 times a week in glass bottles! Lots of other items can be added as & when required, for example, bacon, bread or orange juice. I can pause deliveries easily if going away. All done through the app on your phone! So convenient! Re-using glass bottles makes more sense, cuts down on waste, & I like supporting local farmers!

Not the best experience

Had three deliveries. Only one ( the first) was at my agreed property place. The next two I couldn't find as one was at the back gate, the second was delivered to the neighbours house.
Not a reliable service.

Hi Paul, 
Tom here - thank you for speaking to me just now. 
I'm really sorry to see we didn't leave the best impression here. It's disappointing that we've been unable to consistently deliver your orders to your desired location after the first 2 successful deliveries.
It's understandable that you decided to cancel. Deliveries should be smooth and effortless. You shouldn't be looking around for your order when your instructions are this clear. 
We've been in contact with your local delivery hub about this, as we'd like to understand what difficulties were faced locating your address and porch consistently. 
I've just sent you an email with some more information. So feel free to contact me any time. 
We hope to see you again soon! 
All the best,
Tom

One job. Repeatedly failed.

I genuinely don’t understand how a company can fail at something this basic, this consistently.

You have one job: deliver the order properly. Not early, not randomly, and certainly not by dumping it outside on the pavement like it’s worthless.

This has now happened multiple times. Despite clear instructions to call me on arrival, the driver ignored them and left food outside the building, unattended and unhygienic. This time, it was even delivered a day early, with zero notice. I came home to find it sitting outside, exposed, with no idea how long it had been there.

That’s not a “delivery issue.” That’s a complete breakdown of process and accountability.

To make it worse, the items were obviously unusable (including bread), and it still took two days to process a refund. So not only do you fail at delivery, you’re slow at fixing your own mistakes.

At this point, it’s not bad luck. It’s a pattern of carelessness.

If your entire business depends on delivering food, you might want to start acting like it.

Hi Uğur, 
Tom here - thanks for speaking to me just now. 
I'm sorry we haven't been in touch sooner to clarify that we cannot follow your delivery instructions. We are a doorstep delivery service that aims to have all orders on doorsteps by 7.30am. 
Our policy regarding deliveries is noted in our Terms and Conditions. Please see below. 
7.2.3 - Your presence is not required to take delivery. We make deliveries at night or in the early hours of the day. Because of that, we will leave your orders on your doorstep (or another place as per your delivery instructions), except that if you live in an apartment building, we will leave your delivery at the main building entrance (not outside your flat). We will not check if you are at home or knock at your door and hand your order to you. For those reasons, if you are going to be away (for example, if you are going on holiday), you must cancel or suspend your order (see clause 6, Cancelling or changing your order). We will not be responsible if no one is available at your address at the time of delivery. 

Additional challenges arise when our customers are in flats. In these instances, the communal entrance may not be open throughout the night. Many of our customers leave coolboxes (or one of our milk huts) outside their communal entrance the night before a delivery.
As per your request, we have cancelled your order. I can confirm that no further payments will be taken, nor deliveries made.
We're sorry things haven't worked out here. Thank you again for speaking to me today.

Hi Sharon,

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts here.

To answer your question, yes. We close our delivery hubs at Christmas time and organise double-drops the delivery day before. This is always communicated with our customers in advance, and allows our team members who celebrate the chance to spend some time with their families. 

We've sent a request to you for some contact details via Trust Pilot. We'd be more than happy to get in touch to discuss this further, as well as the price changes you mention.

We hope to hear from you soon!

All the best,
Tom

Great company. Only thing wrong is I was promised a storage box as a complimentary joining gift and it was out of stock apparently and I’ve never received it. Other than that, all good

Hi Jodie, 
It's Tom here from Modern Milkman - I just tried calling but I was unable to reach you. 
I wanted to get in touch to thank you for your recent Trust Pilot review. I'm really sorry to see the milk hut was out of stock on the morning of your delivery. 
This should have been rearranged for the next available delivery day. We're sorry that wasn't scheduled before now! I've just arranged for your milk hut to arrive tomorrow morning. 
If we can be of any assistance in the future, please don't hesitate to get in touch. 
Thanks again for the great review!

Excellent experience with the Modern Milkman! The milk is always fresh, with an authentic, farm-like taste, and the eggs are truly free-range and delicious. You can really tell they are high quality.
The early morning delivery is a huge plus – everything arrives on time and without any hassle. It’s so convenient to have fresh, natural products delivered straight to your door.
Highly recommended for anyone who values quality and reliability!

Hi there,
I hope you're well today! I tried calling earlier but I was unable to reach you. 
I'm sorry to see you didn't receive your free Milk Hut! 
I can see this was scheduled to arrive with your first delivery, which was placed on March 2nd and due on March 9th. 
I can see that you opted to cancel the delivery of the Milk Hut on March 3rd. You then cancelled your milkround following your delivery on March 9th.
I've just sent you an email with some more information. We hope to see you again soon! 
All the best,

I've seen your Trust Pilot review, so I wanted to get in touch to apologise and get this situation sorted for you.

I've just reported this situation to our delivery hub, who will ensure that the bottles are collected tomorrow morning when your next delivery arrives.

I've just sent you an email with some more info. If we can be of any help in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
