Why was I charged by Boost Pouches when I only ordered once?

Because a recurring **VIP Club membership** is attached during the checkout upsell sequence. Reviewers describe being charged weeks after the original order for a "VIP" fee they say they never knowingly signed up for, amounts reported include around $45 CAD and roughly $60, and one customer says their card was billed for four consecutive months. Check your card statement for a repeating charge separate from the product total, then email hello@boostpouches.com to cancel and request a refund. If you're inside your bank's dispute window, open a chargeback for unrecognised recurring billing at the same time rather than waiting.

Is there a cancellation fee for Boost Pouches?

No cancellation fee is published for the VIP membership. There *is* a refund deduction on product returns: the refund policy states a **$7 processing fee** is taken out of the refund, and customers cover return postage unless the item arrived damaged or incorrect. So cancelling itself shouldn't cost you anything, but sending unopened pouches back will shrink the refund by $7 plus shipping. If the deduction is applied to a membership fee refund, push back: nothing is being returned, so no processing fee is justified.

Can I get a refund from Boost Pouches?

For product, yes within limits: unopened, sealed items can be returned within **30 days of delivery**, minus the $7 processing fee, and returns must be approved first by emailing hello@boostpouches.com, items sent back without approval are refused. Damaged or wrong items should be reported within 7 days for a free replacement or full refund. Opened pouches aren't returnable, though the policy says a partial refund may be offered. For VIP membership fees there's no stated refund policy; ask in writing, and escalate to your card issuer if Boost doesn't respond.

The Boost Pouches cancel membership link doesn't work, what now?

You're not alone: a reviewer reports the "cancel membership" link goes to a page that doesn't exist. Fall back to email, hello@boostpouches.com, and treat it as a formal notice, not a request: state that you are cancelling the VIP membership with immediate effect and withdrawing authorisation for any further charges. Screenshot the broken cancellation page; it's strong evidence in a chargeback, because it shows the merchant offered no working way to stop the billing. Then contact your bank and ask them to block the recurring payment as well.

What if Boost Pouches ignores my cancellation email?

Assume it might. Reviewers report no reply after six emails in ten days, and another says countless emails went unanswered. Send one clear cancellation email, keep a copy, then act in parallel: ask your card issuer or bank to cancel the continuous payment authority and dispute the charges as unauthorised recurring billing. Card networks generally accept "merchant unreachable, no working cancellation route" as grounds. Several customers say cancelling the card and filing a dispute was what actually stopped the charges. Keep every screenshot, order confirmation, the broken cancel page, your unanswered emails.

Can I cancel a Boost Pouches order before it ships?

Sometimes, but move fast and expect resistance. The FAQ says orders are processed quickly so modifications or cancellations *may not always be possible*, and asks you to email hello@boostpouches.com immediately. One customer reports emailing within minutes of ordering and the parcel shipping anyway. If it ships, you're pushed into the return route: unopened product, within 30 days, minus the $7 processing fee and return postage. If you're in the EU, the policy separately grants a 14-day right to cancel or return an order without giving a reason.

Can I pause my Boost Pouches subscription instead of cancelling?

No pause or skip option is documented anywhere on the site, and there's no customer account subscription portal that reviewers have been able to use. Treat cancellation as the only option, and don't accept a "we'll pause it for you" reply from support as a resolution, because customers report charges continuing even after being told the membership was cancelled. If you want the product again later, buy it as a one-off order rather than leaving any recurring authority in place on your card.

Does Boost Pouches have a phone number or live chat?

No. A reviewer notes the company offers an email option only, and the site publishes just one address, hello@boostpouches.com, across its FAQ, refund policy, privacy policy and contact page. There's no phone line, no live chat, and no physical store. That makes your written email the entire paper trail, so make it count: full name, order number, order email, charge dates and amounts, and an explicit instruction to cancel and stop all future billing. Send from the same email address used on the order.

Will I lose anything if I cancel the Boost VIP Club?

Very little is at stake. The VIP Club is a discount/perks membership attached to a consumables store, not access to content or data you'd lose. Cancelling stops the recurring fee; any pouches you've already received are yours. Nothing in the published policies says an existing order is voided when the membership ends. Given customers report paying monthly fees they never intended to incur, the cost of cancelling is effectively zero against the cost of leaving it running for another billing cycle.

Is Boost Pouches a scam?

It ships real product, several reviewers say the pouches themselves were fine, but the billing practices draw heavy criticism. Trustpilot reviews describe unannounced VIP charges, a broken cancellation link, unanswered emails and repeat billing after cancellation was promised. That's a subscription-transparency problem rather than a non-delivery one. Practically, it means don't rely on the merchant to stop charges voluntarily: cancel in writing, keep evidence, and involve your card issuer early. Consumer protection rules in the US, UK and EU all require clear consent for recurring charges and a straightforward way to cancel.

Do you offer refunds?

Boost's own FAQ answers yes, refunds on **unopened items within 30 days of delivery**. You email support with your order number and reason for return; once the return is received and inspected, the refund is processed within **5 to 7 business days** back to the original payment method. Return shipping is on you unless the item arrived damaged or incorrect. Note the refund policy page adds a $7 processing fee deduction that the FAQ doesn't mention, so expect the credited amount to be lower than the price paid.

REFUND GUIDE

How to Get a Boost Pouches Refund for VIP Fees.

Boost refunds are per-order, and their own policy gives you a 30-day window. Miss it and you still have tools, a clear email, a card-issuer chargeback. Here's the playbook.

Last verified today against Boost’s own Terms · UK, US, and EU rights covered below

The short answer

Two different charge types need two different approaches. For physical pouch orders, the published policy is a 30-day return window on unopened, sealed product only, a $7 processing fee comes out of the refund and you pay return postage unless the item arrived damaged or wrong (report those within 7 days for a free replacement or full refund); opened pouches are non-returnable for hygiene reasons, though the policy says a partial refund may be offered. Orders shipped into the EU carry a stated 14-day right to cancel or return without giving a reason. For the recurring VIP Club membership fee there is no published refund window at all, buyers describe unexpected monthly charges and getting money back through their bank rather than from Boost, so treat membership refunds as a written demand plus a card dispute, not a policy entitlement.

What Boost actually says

“We offer a 30-day return policy. You have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return or exchange.”
, verbatim from Boost’s terms

30-day cancellation window

How long does a Boost refund take?

Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Note Boost’s own policy works on a 30-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.

Refund FAQ for Boost

Email **hello@boostpouches.com**, it is the only contact channel Boost publishes. Use a subject line like *"Cancel VIP membership + refund, order #12345"* and include the email address on the order, the last four digits of the card charged, and every date you were billed. The site's footer links to a "Membership Cancellation" page, but customers report it resolving to a page that doesn't exist, so email is the practical route. Ask explicitly for written confirmation with a cancellation date, and if nothing arrives within about five business days, contact your bank to stop the recurring authority.
