McQueens Dairies

Dunno if this is happening in anyone elses area but seems like these absolute gypos are now targetting Cumbria for vulnerable victims.

Got a couple of texts off them yesterday saying "thanks for using McQueens dairies, your first order will be 27th Nov blah blah", then had a fella knock on my door at about 5pm but I didn't answer, just had a phonecall to voicemail off them etc.

Haven't ever placed a delivery order with them, never even heard about them till yesterday, but been reading online that this is an aggressive sales tactic by them to try and coerce people into joining up and they're a nightmare to get rid of.

If you get a text/call off them, or a knock on the door, kick them in the nards.

Surely people just use a " regular " milkman, I know everyone by us does ?

Same fellas have been doing it for years, I`m sure it`s the same out your way too ?

Yeh we have our local milk deliverery peeps, these seem like a big company that are moving into different areas. The reviews online are horrendous for them doing this tactic all over the country.

Milk and diary products seems to be a very bizarre thing to high pressure people into buying !

Haha I thought so too but here we are! Was just curious if it's happened/happening in any other areas.

Did he just use the term gypos in a derogatory manner?

Like for yes. Unsure for no.

Remember when Full Fat milk had to be covered to stop the birds pecking through the foil? Now the birds don't go near the stuff. Very Telling.

That’s a memory from way back when. Break their beak now on these thick plastic bottles that last longer than your average highlander!

How much do they charge?

I'm getting charged 5.60 per week for two deliveries of two litred milk from Payne dairies.
