How to Cancel Birchbox Subscription [Step by Step]
Birchbox is a U.S. beauty-box membership. You get a curated box of samples or fuller-size items on a set schedule. Official help lists a monthly plan at $25 plus tax, a 3-month prepaid plan at $72, and a 12-month prepaid plan at $264. Birchbox Signature is a separate bi-monthly box that typically bills $50.
Charges usually hit a card on birchbox.com. Renewals typically run the 1st through the 5th. Deleting the Birchbox app does not cancel the subscription. Cancel in Manage Subscriptions before the next renewal if you do not want another box.
What Is Birchbox and How Billing Works
Birchbox subscriptions auto-renew until you opt out. Official billing help says a monthly member is charged $25 at signup, then $25 on the 1st of each month until you pause or cancel. If you join on or after the 25th, the first renewal can land mid-month, then return to the 1st.
Prepaid plans bill the full term up front. The 3-month plan is $72 and renews on the 1st of the fourth month unless you cancel. The 12-month plan is $264 and renews on the 1st of the 13th month. Official help calls those prepaid buys nonrefundable.
Signature bills $50 every other month on the 1st until you pause or cancel. Market shop orders are separate from the box. Official cancel policy says box and Market sales are final.
Who can cancel? The birchbox.com account holder. This guide is for U.S. Birchbox at help.birchbox.com. Birchbox UK uses different email and should not be mixed with a U.S. login.
How to Cancel From Manage Subscriptions
Official cancel policy points to the account site.
- Log in at birchbox.com.
- Open your Account page.
- Open Manage Subscriptions.
- Click Cancel Subscription.
- Finish any reason screens and confirm.
You are turning off the next renewal. Official help says that does not refund prepaid time. If this month already billed, the cancel applies to the next cycle. You still get the box you already paid for.
Do this before the 1st if you want to skip the coming month’s charge. Renewals can post through the 5th, so do not wait until mid-month.
How to Cancel by Contacting Community Support
Use support if Manage Subscriptions will not load, you need a pause, or you canceled right after checkout and want a first-box review.
Official help lists info@birchbox.com and live chat in the support center. Say you want to cancel auto-renewal, or that you want a pause, and include the account email and plan type.
Current official cancel articles do not publish a consumer phone. Older third-party numbers are not the path in today’s help pages. Stay with email and chat.
Birchbox UK members should use support@birchbox.co.uk, not the U.S. inbox.
Skipping a Month Is Not Canceling
Official pause help says you can skip a month if you email info@birchbox.com or use live chat before the 1st. There is no promise of a self-serve skip button.
Monthly members who pause in time typically skip that month’s charge and box, then billing returns the next month. Prepaid members who skip usually stretch the term by one month. You still get the same number of prepaid boxes.
Pause keeps the membership alive. If you want to unsubscribe, use Cancel Subscription and wait for the next renewal to stay off.
What Happens After You Cancel
Canceling opts you out of the next renewal. A monthly plan that already billed this cycle still ships that box. Then the recurring $25 charge should stop.
A prepaid 3-month or 12-month plan keeps sending the boxes you already paid for. Official first-box refund help says you receive remaining boxes in the term. The next $72 or $264 renewal is what cancel is meant to stop.
The shop account usually stays open. You can log in later to track a shipment.
Requesting a Refund After Cancellation
Official policy is strict. Cancel does not refund prepaid amounts. Box and Market sales are final. Birchbox does not accept returns or exchanges under that article.
If you canceled immediately after signup, official help says email info@birchbox.com right away. They may try to help only before the first box enters fulfillment. Once fulfillment starts, the order is final.
Damaged, missing, or undelivered items are a shipping issue. Use chat or email with photos and the order date. That is not unused-month credit.
Common Problems and Solutions
You canceled on the 3rd and still paid $25. Renewals often run the 1st through the 5th. Official help says a billed month still ships. The cancel then hits the next cycle.
You paused and got billed again later. Pause is one month. Cancel if you do not want the following box.
You prepaid 12 months and expected cash back. Official help says cancel does not refund prepaid amounts. You keep the remaining boxes instead.
The app still looks active. Website billing does not stop when you delete the app. Check Manage Subscriptions on birchbox.com.
You emailed the U.K. address by mistake. Use info@birchbox.com for a U.S. account.
Tips for a Smooth Cancellation
Cancel in the last week of the month, not after the 1st.
Screenshot Manage Subscriptions before and after you confirm.
If you only need one month off, email a pause request before the 1st. If you want out, cancel.
Watch for both Monthly and Signature lines. Cancel each plan you do not want.
Do not wait on an app delete to stop a recurring charge.
FAQs About How to Cancel Birchbox Subscription
Q: Does deleting the Birchbox app cancel my subscription?
No. Official cancel steps live in Manage Subscriptions on the website. Removing the app does not stop the next box charge.
Q: Will I get a refund when I cancel Birchbox?
Usually no. Official policy says cancel does not refund prepaid amounts. Box and Market sales are final. Email right away only if you just signed up and the first box has not entered fulfillment.
Q: When do I have to cancel to avoid the next box?
Before the renewal window. Official help says renewals typically take place the 1st through the 5th. Cancel in the prior month if you do not want that cycle.
Q: Can I pause instead of cancel?
Yes, through info@birchbox.com or live chat before the 1st. Pause is temporary. Monthly billing usually returns the next month unless you also cancel.
Conclusion
To cancel a Birchbox subscription, log in, open Manage Subscriptions, and choose Cancel Subscription. Do that before the 1st if you want to stop auto-renewal on the next box. Email info@birchbox.com if the page will not finish.
That is how you unsubscribe from Monthly or Signature billing. Keep any confirmation. A box already billed generally still ships.
