Subject:
Cancellation Request, [your account email]Send this template
Hi Joybuy team, I'm writing to cancel the subscription on my account, [your account email]. Please treat this as formal notice of cancellation, effective from the end of the current billing period. Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, I'm entitled to cancel this contract by notice through the same channel it was formed in. Please confirm by reply that the subscription has been cancelled and that no further charges will be taken. If your policy allows it, I'd also appreciate a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the current period. Best, [your name]
Wait for confirmation
Wait 24 hours. If there's no response, send a polite one-line follow-up referencing the original request.

What happens to what you’ve already paid
JoyPlus membership fees: if you paid directly, you can cancel within 30 days through customer service. You get a full refund if you used no benefits, and may get a partial refund based on usage if you did. Product orders: most items can be returned free within 30 days of delivery, or 14 days for seasonal cooling products like fans. You start the return from My Orders and must send the item back within 14 days of the request. The refund goes to your original payment method, usually in 3 to 5 working days. Orders not yet dispatched can be cancelled in My Orders for an automatic refund. Fresh and frozen food is only refunded for quality problems.
“If neither you nor anyone authorised by you to use your account has taken advantage of any JoyPlus benefits in the current membership period, we will refund this membership fee in full.”

Does Joybuy charge a cancellation fee?
Joybuy’s terms mention conditions worth checking before you cancel, see the plan notes and policy quote above for the specifics we found. In general: rolling monthly plans end at the period you’ve already paid for with nothing extra to pay, while minimum-term or contract plans can carry an early-exit charge until the term ends. If you signed up online within the last 14 days, the Consumer Contracts Regulations give you a cooling-off right to walk away, fee-free, for most digital subscriptions.
What doesn’t work for cancelling Joybuy
Based on 7 sources, Reddit, app reviews, and direct testing. Skip these and save yourself the loop.
- ✕ Pressing Cancel in the app and expecting the membership to end (and a refund to follow) straight away, Cancelling only stops the next automatic renewal, and benefits continue until the period ends. Joybuy's help page says you must contact Customer Service to end it immediately, and refunds are handled under the terms.
- ✕ Calling the published phone numbers and expecting a live agent, Since 24 Dec 2025, Joybuy's phone support has been a callback service that you request in the app (Me → Customer Service → Request a Callback). Live chat and email are the channels Joybuy recommends.
- ✕ Cancelling an order after it has shipped, Once an order is marked Shipped, the Cancel button disappears. You have to wait for delivery and then file an after-sales return request.
- ✕ Sending an item back without finishing the return within 14 days, After you submit a return request, you have 14 calendar days to send the item back. If you miss that, the request may close automatically and you'll need to file a new one.
- ✕ Returning a sealed electronic item opened or activated with no fault, Joybuy says it may deduct an amount for loss of value when a sealed product comes back opened or activated without a quality problem.
- ✕ Uninstalling the app to stop JoyPlus charges, The membership is tied to your Joybuy account and renews automatically unless you cancel it before the next billing date.
Cancelled Joybuy but still being charged?
Three common reasons, in order of likelihood:
- The cancellation didn’t actually complete. If you never received a written confirmation from Joybuy, treat it as not cancelled. Email
support@joybuy.comreferencing your original request date and ask for written confirmation plus a refund of any charge taken since. - You cancelled in the wrong place. Subscriptions started through the App Store or Google Play bill through Apple or Google, cancelling on Joybuy’s site doesn’t touch them. Check Settings → Subscriptions on iPhone, or Play Store → Payments & subscriptions on Android.
- Billing lag. A charge that was already in flight when you cancelled can still land a few days later. One trailing charge can be normal; two is not.
If they keep charging after a confirmed cancellation, that’s chargeback territory: dispute the charge with your bank citing “subscription cancelled, merchant continued billing”. The yoink app also flags this automatically, it keeps watching your inbox after a confirmed cancellation and alerts you if Joybuy charges again.
How Joybuy will try to keep you
Joybuy may respond with a retention offer, a discount, a free month, or a downgrade to a cheaper tier. Don't engage with the counteroffer. Restate that you want a full cancellation and cite the consumer law again if they push back.
They’ll say: “The JoyPlus free trial starts automatically when you sign up. Press reports say it is on by default and not optional, so people find the membership running without having chosen it.”
You say: Cancel straight away under Me → My JoyPlus → Manage → Cancel. Joybuy's help page says that if you cancel during the trial, you keep the benefits until it ends and aren't charged.
They’ll say: “The introductory price can run out during your trial. In EU markets, users who signed up during the promo were reportedly charged the standard €9.99/month as soon as the trial converted.”
You say: Check your plan and next billing date on the membership page before the trial ends. If you were charged a price you didn't see when signing up, ask for a full refund within 30 days, citing the JoyPlus terms.
They’ll say: “Joybuy only offers a partial, usage-based refund once you've used any JoyPlus benefit in the current period.”
You say: If you haven't placed an order using free delivery or member prices since the charge, quote the terms: the fee is refunded in full when no benefits were used in the current membership period.
They’ll say: “Complaints often get generic chat replies that ignore your photos and evidence (reported on Trustpilot).”
You say: Move it to email at support@joybuy.com with your order number, photos and the date you first reported the problem. Mention Joybuy's own complaint target: processing starts within 1 working day and a response comes within 2.
They’ll say: “Return disputes on high-value items: some reviewers say Joybuy claimed returned boxes arrived empty and held back the refund.”
You say: Photograph or film the item while you pack it and keep proof of postage. If the refund stalls, escalate in writing, and use your card issuer's chargeback (or Section 75 in the UK for items over £100) as a backstop.
Your rights when cancelling
The law where you live is the strongest hook, lead with it when you contact the company.
United Kingdom
- Consumer Contracts Regulations 201314-day cooling-off on new subscriptions.
You can terminate any continuous service contract within 14 days of starting it and recover any payment, no questions asked. Applies regardless of Joybuy’s own policy.
- Consumer Rights Act 2015Services must be as described.
If Joybuy’s service was misrepresented or didn’t deliver what was promised, you have a statutory right to remedy (repair, refund, or price reduction) regardless of their terms.
Worldwide
- Card-issuer chargebackYour bank can reverse the charge.
Visa, Mastercard, and Amex all run chargeback schemes, “goods/services not as described” or “subscription not cancelled” are valid reason codes everywhere they operate. Your bank handles the dispute; Joybuy has ~45 days to defend.
Rights in other regions (European Union)
European Union
- Consumer Rights Directive 2011/83/EU14-day right of withdrawal across all EU states.
EU-wide statutory right to withdraw from any distance-sold contract within 14 days. Mirrored into local law in every member state. Joybuy must honour it regardless of where they’re headquartered.
Delete your Joybuy account (not just cancel)
Cancelling stops the billing; deleting removes your account and personal data. Do them in that order, deleting an account with an active subscription can leave the billing running with no way to log in and stop it.
If there’s no delete option in Joybuy’s account settings, email support@joybuy.com with the subject Account deletion request, [your account email] and ask for your account and personal data to be erased under UK GDPR (Article 17, the right to erasure). They’re typically required to act on it, most companies complete erasure within about 30 days, and you should ask for written confirmation when it’s done.
