Subscribers can cancel online via account Manage Subscriptions, by email to [email protected], or by scheduling a call with a Discovery Specialist. Month-to-month cancellations take effect at the next billing cycle; prepaid and commitment-plan (3/6/12-month) subscribers cannot cancel mid-term but can opt out of auto-renewal. All sales are final and non-refundable once billed, though Birchbox may accommodate a refund if contacted immediately after signup before the first box enters fulfillment. Gift subscriptions cannot be canceled and pre-paid fees are non-refundable.

Evidence

Scope & fairness

This is the Documented-Policy tier: it measures how clearly the cancellation policy is published (cited, dated facts), not the behavioural experience of cancelling (Verified-Flow audit pending). Every company is scored on the same five dimensions with the same published weights, scores cannot be bought or removed. It is opinion grounded in disclosed facts, and not legal advice.
