Frequently asked questions
Cancel Naturebox: The Right Way
How to cancel Naturebox in australia and recover your membership fees
What Naturebox is and why you might want to cancel
Naturebox is a subscription snack delivery service that operates across Australia, shipping curated selections from over 100 packaged snack options to your door each month. The service uses a layered pricing model: you pay an annual membership fee (approximately A$45) for benefits including store credit and early access to new items, then layer a Subscribe & Save recurring box on top, which applies a 10% discount per item on eligible snacks.
The value proposition appeals to customers who enjoy discovering healthy snacks without leaving home. Naturebox markets a 30-day free trial to new members and promotes a "Don't Like It, Don't Eat It" guarantee. However, many Australian customers report unexpected charges after their trial ends, difficulty obtaining refunds for unwanted membership fees, and frustration when they discover that store credits cannot be converted back to cash. If you recognise yourself in these experiences, cancellation is your logical next step. At Yafee, we help customers like you reclaim control of recurring charges and understand your legal rights before you take action.
The membership and subscription structure explained
Understanding Naturebox's pricing structure is essential before you cancel, because each billing layer triggers different cancellation pathways and refund rules. Naturebox operates three distinct billing mechanisms:
- Subscribe and Save box: a monthly recurring shipment with a 10% per-item discount, charged monthly to your payment method.
- Annual membership fee: a recurring annual charge (approximately A$45 based on customer data) that unlocks member-only promotions, store credit allocation, and early access to new snacks.
- Pay-as-you-go orders: one-off snack purchases at retail price with no membership requirement.
The subscription automatically converts from the 30-day free trial to a paid membership unless you actively cancel before the trial expiry date. This is where most accidental charges occur: customers lose track of the trial countdown and discover a billed membership fee on their statement.
Why australians are cancelling Naturebox
Across consumer review platforms and forums, Australian members cite three consistent reasons for cancellation. First, they experience surprise membership charges after the free trial or initial order, particularly when Naturebox fails to send clear billing reminders before the conversion date. Second, they discover that Naturebox treats membership fees as non-refundable, even if they cancel immediately after being charged. Third, some customers find that inventory limitations or snack preferences do not align with the rotating selection, which reduces the perceived value of the subscription and membership spend.
Most customers do not realise they have an active subscription until the charge appears on their bank statement, and by then Naturebox has already processed the payment. This is why you need a clear cancellation strategy before you act.
Your consumer rights under australian consumer law
Before you cancel, understand your legal protections so you can negotiate a refund if Naturebox refuses to process one.
Key protections that apply to Naturebox subscriptions
The Australian Consumer Law (ACL), administered by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), grants you enforceable rights even if Naturebox's terms state otherwise. Three protections are most relevant to your situation:
- Misleading or deceptive conduct: If Naturebox did not clearly disclose that the free trial would convert to a paid membership, or if they buried the automatic conversion clause in fine print, the ACCC may treat this as misleading conduct under section 29(1) of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).
- Unsolicited credit contracts: If you did not expressly request the subscription to continue after the free trial, Naturebox may have breached the ACL's rules on uninvited payment facilities. The ACCC enforces this strictly for subscription traps.
- Unfair contract terms: If Naturebox's terms declare all membership fees non-refundable, that term may be unfair under the ACL and therefore not binding on you. Unfair terms do not apply to standard form consumer contracts.
Consequently, if Naturebox charged you without clear prior disclosure or consent, you have grounds to request a refund regardless of what their terms document says.
Your legal position and remedies
Under the Australian Consumer Law, you have the right to recover money paid for services not clearly disclosed or delivered as promised. If Naturebox automatically charged your membership fee without sending you a clear, separate notification at least 7 days before the charge, you may be entitled to a full refund. Furthermore, if the company cannot demonstrate that you explicitly consented to the conversion from free trial to paid membership, the ACCC treats this as a breach of consumer protections for automatic subscription conversion.
If Naturebox refuses to refund, you can lodge a complaint with the ACCC Scams and Subscription Traps team or escalate through your payment provider (credit card issuer or bank). Your bank can reverse the charge under chargeback rules if you dispute the transaction as unauthorised.
How to cancel your Naturebox subscription
Follow these steps to terminate your membership and Subscribe and Save box, then pursue a refund through the appropriate channel.
Step 1: log into your Naturebox account
- Visit the Naturebox website and click Log In.
- Enter your email address and password to access your account dashboard.
- If you have forgotten your password, select Forgot Password and follow the reset email sent to your inbox.
Step 2: navigate to your subscription and membership settings
- Once logged in, look for Account, Settings, or Subscriptions in the main navigation menu.
- Select Manage Subscriptions or Manage Membership.
- You will see both your Subscribe and Save box and your annual membership listed separately.
Step 3: cancel your subscribe and save box
- Click Cancel next to your Subscribe and Save box subscription.
- Naturebox may ask why you are cancelling. You may skip this survey or provide feedback (optional).
- Confirm the cancellation. You should receive an email confirmation within 1 hour.
- The recurring monthly charge will cease immediately; no further shipments will be processed.
Step 4: cancel your annual membership
- Return to your Account or Settings page.
- Locate your Annual Membership and select Cancel Membership.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation.
- Note the date of cancellation and take a screenshot for your records.
Step 5: verify cancellation via email
- Check your email for confirmation messages from Naturebox for both the Subscribe and Save box and the annual membership.
- If you do not receive confirmation emails within 24 hours, contact Naturebox customer support directly and request written confirmation of cancellation.
- Keep these confirmations in your records as evidence that you cancelled on a specific date.
How to request a refund for your membership fee
Cancellation and refund are separate actions; terminating your subscription does not automatically trigger a refund.
Step 1: contact Naturebox customer support within 14 days of the charge
- Email Naturebox customer support or use the Help or Contact Us form on their website.
- State clearly: your name, account email address, the date you were charged, and the amount (approximately A$45).
- Explain why you believe the charge was unauthorised or misleading: for example, "I received no notification before my free trial converted to a paid membership" or "The conversion terms were not clearly disclosed."
- Reference the Australian Consumer Law and your right to a refund for services not clearly communicated.
- Request a full refund and provide your original payment method details.
- Set a deadline: "I expect your response within 7 days. If you do not refund this charge, I will escalate to my bank and the ACCC."
Step 2: if Naturebox refuses, dispute the charge with your payment provider
- Contact your bank or credit card company by phone or through your online banking portal.
- Report the charge as unauthorised or as a subscription trap under the Australian Consumer Law.
- Provide your bank with: the date of the charge, the amount, Naturebox's name, and screenshots of your cancellation confirmation and the customer support exchange.
- Your bank will initiate a chargeback investigation. You have the right to dispute the transaction for up to 120 days from the transaction date.
Step 3: lodge a complaint with the ACCC if the dispute fails
- Visit the ACCC website at accc.gov.au and select Make a Complaint or Report Scams and Subscription Traps.
- Provide your full details, the transaction details, and evidence of your cancellation request and Naturebox's refusal to refund.
- The ACCC will assess whether Naturebox has breached consumer law protections.
- If the ACCC finds a breach, they can pursue enforcement action, which may result in a refund for you and other affected customers.
Naturebox pricing and refund policy summary

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Naturebox
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the steps above, but a few missteps can delay your refund or leave you with ongoing charges.
Mistake 1: cancelling only the subscribe and save box, not the annual membership
Many customers cancel the monthly snack box but forget to cancel the annual membership separately. This means Naturebox continues to charge your membership fee every year. Always cancel both subscriptions explicitly through your account settings.
Mistake 2: not documenting cancellation confirmation
Screenshot or save the confirmation messages Naturebox sends after you cancel. If a charge appears after cancellation, you need proof that you terminated the subscription on a specific date. Without this evidence, your bank may reject your dispute claim.
Mistake 3: requesting a refund more than 120 days after the charge
Your bank's chargeback window closes 120 days after the transaction. Request your refund from Naturebox immediately, and if they refuse, escalate to your bank within this window. Waiting longer than 120 days weakens your dispute claim.
Mistake 4: not referencing the australian consumer law in your refund request
When you contact Naturebox for a refund, cite the ACL and the ACCC. Companies take this seriously because they know breaching consumer law carries penalties. A casual email asking for a refund is easier to ignore; a formal reference to consumer protection legislation is harder to dismiss.
After you cancel: what happens next
Once you have cancelled and submitted your refund request, you are protected by law, but the timeline varies depending on Naturebox's response and your bank's processes.
Timeline for refund processing
- Immediate: Your Subscribe and Save box subscription stops. No further monthly charges will post.
- Within 7 days: You should receive a written response from Naturebox confirming receipt of your refund request.
- Within 14 days: If Naturebox agrees, they will process the refund. Most refunds appear in your account within 3-5 business days after Naturebox initiates the transfer.
- Within 120 days: If Naturebox refuses, contact your bank to dispute the charge. Your bank will conduct a chargeback investigation (usually 10-15 business days).
Monitor your statements for recurring charges
Check your bank or credit card statement 30 days after cancellation to confirm that no further charges have posted. If a charge appears after you cancelled, contact your bank immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation. At Yafee, we advise customers to set a calendar reminder for one month post-cancellation to verify that charges have stopped.

Checklist: before you hit cancel
- Understand the difference between your Subscribe and Save box and your annual membership.
- Log into your account and confirm both subscriptions are active.
- Take screenshots of your account page showing both subscriptions listed.
- Note the date you are cancelling and the amount of any membership fee you expect to dispute.
- Cancel both the Subscribe and Save box and the annual membership separately.
- Save or screenshot the cancellation confirmation emails from Naturebox.
- If you were charged without clear notice, draft a refund request email citing the Australian Consumer Law.
- Send the refund request to Naturebox within 14 days of the charge, with a 7-day response deadline.

- Monitor your statement 30 days after cancellation to confirm charges have stopped.
Key takeaways and next steps
Cancelling Naturebox in Australia is straightforward once you understand the two-step process: first, terminate the subscriptions through your account dashboard; second, request a refund from Naturebox if you were charged without clear disclosure of automatic conversion from the free trial.
The Australian Consumer Law protects you even if Naturebox's terms claim otherwise. If the company automatically converted your free trial to a paid membership without sending you a separate notification at least 7 days beforehand, you have grounds to demand a refund. If Naturebox refuses, your bank can reverse the charge through a chargeback dispute, and the ACCC can investigate for breaches of consumer law.
Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel unwanted subscriptions and recover membership fees by grounding their refund requests in legal rights. We guide you through each step: identifying your charges, drafting a compliant cancellation notice, and escalating to your bank or the ACCC if the company refuses to cooperate.
Start by logging into your Naturebox account today and cancelling both subscriptions. Then draft your refund request, reference the Australian Consumer Law, and send it to Naturebox customer support within 14 days of the charge. If you need guidance, Yafee's resources are designed to help you navigate this process confidently and legally.
Contact details for escalation: Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), GPO Box 3131, Canberra ACT 2601, or lodge a complaint online at accc.gov.au. Your bank's dispute and chargeback team can also be reached via your online banking portal or by phone on the number on the back of your card.
