Canceling a meal delivery subscription should take under two minutes -- but the process varies by brand. Some let you cancel online in three clicks. Others bury the option in account settings or require a phone call.

We have tested the cancellation process for every major service. Click your brand below for a complete step-by-step guide -- including the cancellation deadline, refund policy, and how to pause instead of cancel if you just need a break.

Cancel by Brand

What to Know Before You Cancel

Every meal kit service has a weekly order cutoff -- typically Wednesday or Thursday night. If you cancel after the cutoff, you will still receive (and be charged for) that week's box. Cancel before the cutoff to avoid the next charge.

Most services let you skip or pause deliveries instead of canceling. If you are canceling because of cost or a busy schedule, skipping a few weeks may be a better option -- you keep your discount and subscription settings.

How to Cancel Step by Step (General Guide)

While every brand has a slightly different process, the general steps are the same for most meal delivery services:

1. Log in to your account on the brand website or app.
2. Go to Account Settings or Plan Settings -- usually found in the top-right menu under your name or email.
3. Find the Cancel option -- look for "Cancel Plan," "Cancel Subscription," or "Cancel Membership." It may be near the bottom of the settings page.
4. Complete the exit survey -- most services ask why you are canceling. You must complete this to proceed.
5. Confirm the cancellation -- look for a final confirmation button or email. Save the confirmation email as proof.

If you cannot find the cancel option, check our brand-specific guide above. Some services (like Daily Harvest) require you to email customer support directly.

Should You Pause Instead of Cancel?

Before you cancel, consider pausing or skipping deliveries. Most T1 meal kit services allow you to skip between 2 and 8 weeks without canceling your subscription. Pausing keeps your account active, preserves your introductory or loyalty pricing, and lets you restart without re-entering payment details.

When pausing makes sense: you are going on vacation, you want to reduce spending temporarily, or you are just feeling overwhelmed with food. When canceling makes more sense: you no longer want the service at all, you want to avoid any future charges, or you have already paused multiple times and the charges keep resuming.
