Not amazing value?
In fairness now......
If you bought the equivalent to that bag of coffee in any of the gourmet coffee shops in Dublin, you'd pay between €8 and €12.

For €9 you get the coffee, the Hario and the Mug.
And lest there was any remaining doubt about the amazingness.....there's some kind of fridge magnet (or something) thrown it too.

Of course 95p would have been better but....

Completely agree, just in comparison to the £0.95.
The coffee on its own would be worth the price so everything else is a bonus.

Did this too and has changed from .95 to something else (It's not on my statement yet.)

What I don't like is that it gave us a total of .95 and we put in our credit card details. They should not be able to just change the order like that, without first contacting the customer!

NATLOR

My order price changed too with no warning, but i'm happy enough as i wont feel as guilty now when i cancel the subscription

shanemkelly

Got the email; Welcome, welcome, welcome, yada yada yada we've sent your coffee.

Charged £3.95 + PM - no problem with that but it did say £0.95 at checkout.

Interested to see what the coffee is like. Will be cancelling my account if they continue not to deliver to Ireland.

When I mailed them to ask about shipping to Ireland, they said don't currently but are looking into it:

Unfortunately, we can only deliver to UK addresses at the moment. If we do start to deliver internationally we’ll be sure to let you know. It is in the pipeline and we'll be looking in to integrating it later in the year. As we are still a small, upcoming company we're trying to build a firm customer base before expanding. We also need to look in to ways in shipping the coffee abroad, but still managing to keep it fresh!

On another note, I checked the order I made last night when it was displayed at £0.95, it is now £6.95. Still not sure what I will be charged on my credit card, but it has been shipped.

Dard23

Yeah also been charged the same. Just took a screenshot last night of the order for 0.95 or whatever it was so I'm wondering legally can they change prices without notice? It's a fiver so no biggie but still.

mad m

Also got charged 4.98. Happy enough. That keep cup is nearly 15euro in 3fe.

Basq

I got notification of shipment but there's no indication of price on e-mail and it does simply mention "Commuter Kit, Coffee, Handbook and Magnet"... so I'm hoping "Commuter Kit" is the V60 and KeepCup specifically.

As mentioned, no indication of price paid in e-mail, or in order history.

Not too impressed with that to be honest.

I don't know about the legalities of it all but I think the 95p only appeared after we clicked on the order confirmation so if you wanted to get all legal about it, it could be argued that we accepted the higher price in the first place.

It's a bit like going in to a shop and buying something at the regular price and then noticing afterwards that there was a mistake on the receipt.

Also, let's be honest, we all knew that 95p was a misprice anyway.

Still, I suppose best practice would be to at least acknowledge that there was some glitch on their site.

Ah I'm sure Commuter kit will include what it said. Sure whatelse can it be. Thanks again Basq.

Yeah, I've popped them an e-mail just to clarify but let's face it... we've done OK at that price:

Basq

Just a heads-up... have got confirmation from Ashley over at PactCoffee that the "Commuter Kit" is indeed the Hario V60 and KeepCup.

Legion2008

I just received a call from Pact welcoming me and asking had I received my coffee yet (shipped yesterday). Had to explain that I'm waiting for the Parcel Redirect to arrive and asked her about shipping to ROI ... she said she'd look into it.

Quite impressed with their customer service, she was looking for feedback to check everything arrived and whether I was satisfied with my delivery. Shows that they are proactive and will value customer feedback.

MIne is being shipped today.

Just a note for thoses who put a 30 day pause , take it off for now as it delays shipping.

barry181091

I complained about being charged more than the .95GBP and they are refunding the 3 pounds over charged. Happy Days!

MiskyBoyy

I'll happily pay the 3.95

uck51js9zml2yt

I queried the charge and got £3.95 credit to my account which I may never use again!

Jaysus.... :eek:

For a few extra Euro, I'll happily support some young entrepreneurs who are just looking to make a few bob. Even at £3.95 they must be making a loss overall.

Got a photo from Parcel Motel of my package, should be in my locker by tomorrow!

NATLOR

Mine in PM too, that was quick!

penev10

I got on about the .95 turning into 3.95 and they said I had gotten the 3 quid off as their coffee is normally 6.95. They said the commuter kit is worth over 20 pound anyway.

They then got back with another mail to say that a "scam site" had been distributing the XMASBEANS promo code and they have since shut it down.

Very inconsistent but I don't mind as its still a good bargain.

Mine has hit PM. Can't fault service. Still a bargain for a fiver in my eyes.

Sitting in my parcel motel at the moment. Too late to head and get now. Will get tomorrow.

Dard23

You should collect it tonight and make yourself a coffee! Then you can lie awake all night and decide whether you'll order more!

Might leave it until after work actually. No harm really, right?

Basq

Collected mine.. pretty damn daycent!



And thankfully a respectable KeepCup colour too.. was hoping it wouldn't be something overly feminine that would clash with my already pink dungarees and floral pattern sunglasses.

barry181091

Got the same. That's a 95pence very well spent :P

Edit: The XMASBEANS is now invalid. That will teach them to not track their coupon codes. A valuable business lesson :P

Creamy Goodness

nice, I was secretly hoping for one of those glass keep cups as I know one person who's ordered from pact before, but I'm not going to complain for 9€ I've bought beers at that price without batting an eyelid.

Those glass cork-lined models are pricey... I definitely wasn't thinking we'd be getting them.

Dard23

Can we use the filter right away or do we have to buy paper filters first?

DANNY2014

Missed out on this an enquired could I get it as a mate got it and they said a scam website got hold of an old code (boards is from now on a scam website) and they lost a lot of money. They have an offer now for the v60 and 250g coffee for 6.95 mite go with it. Is the keepcup much of an addition???

caviardreams

What date was the coffee roasted out of interest? Might try them out.

yup was just extremely wishful thinking on my part.

oh god, i'm as bad as those complaining that this wasn't 95p :pac:

there's also referral codes that give both £5.95 credit.

You get filters with it.. and they do recommend using the Hario filters with it (for some reason). From one review - "other filters are too thin (and break) or too thick (and slow the flow).".

caviardreams wrote: »

Roasted on Tuesday..

Creamy Goodness

roast dates may change depending on the coffee you got, but still the fact it's within this week is excellent .

Nope, not yet. Literally collected before work and no grinder in work!

The tax man

Just opened my box of goodies. Fruit+nut espresso beans also roasted on the 12th. Free biscuits, god I love those.:D

Basq

Have to say I'm very impressed with what I see... even like the little magnet instructions on using the V60, plus the detail card on the coffee is a nice touch. Definitely considering keeping these guys on!

MiskyBoyy

My keepcup is a little different colour wise but I like it.



I went for the Brazil/Rwanda Fruit & Nut espresso myself (also roasted on 12th)

I've never had a Hario before so I was very pleased to see it included 100 filters. Thanks for sharing OP. This is a great little company :cool:

Basq

Yeah, my KeepCup is same colour... I'd say it's same for all with the Pact branding.

kildaremum

Thank you for sharing OP. Mines on the way too. Love a bargain.

SEORG

Thanks OP, everything arrived today. Great bargain.

Seeing as the company lost money on this deal , it would be nice to think we'd all put through another order to help them out!

I would in fact set up a standing order if they posted directly but that PM charge is a deal breaker.

Edwardius

Got it today, good find OP.
