How to cancel Carpe in canada and stop unwanted charges
Understanding Carpe and why cancellation matters
Carpe is a clinical-strength antiperspirant and deodorant brand that ships directly to Canadian customers through ca.mycarpe.com. The company sells underarm sticks through one-time purchases and a "Subscribe & Save" program that delivers products every 4 weeks at a 20% discount.
The challenge: Carpe's subscription portal auto-enrolls some orders, and navigating the cancellation process can confuse customers. Many Canadian subscribers report difficulty cancelling recurring shipments, charges continuing after they thought cancellation was complete, and frustration finding the correct method to stop deliveries. Yafee has documented numerous cases where customers faced unwanted recurring charges because they did not know how to properly cancel their subscription.
This guide walks you through every cancellation method Carpe offers in Canada, what to expect when you cancel, and your consumer rights if the company refuses to stop charging you. You will also learn how to recover money if charges continue after cancellation.
Why you might want to cancel Carpe
You may cancel because the product does not suit your skin, the recurring charges do not fit your budget, or you have sufficient supply. Some customers cancel to purchase deodorant locally or switch to a competitor. Whatever your reason, you have a legal right to cancel at any time, and Yafee is here to ensure you cancel correctly.
Your consumer rights under canadian law
Under the Canadian Consumer Protection Act and provincial consumer protection statutes (which vary by province), you hold the right to cancel a subscription contract within 14 days of purchase without penalty. Additionally, if Carpe enrolled you in recurring billing without express, informed consent or failed to disclose renewal charges clearly, you may dispute the charge with your bank or file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority.
These rights protect you from deceptive subscription practices. If Carpe continues to charge you after cancellation, or if you believe you were auto-enrolled without proper notice, escalating to your bank or your province's consumer protection office is a legitimate and powerful remedy. Your legal position is strong when the company fails to honour cancellation requests or did not obtain your clear consent before enrolling you in recurring billing.

The Subscribe & Save plan saves you 20% upfront, but locks you into automatic charges every 4 weeks. If you cancel within 14 days of your first subscription order, Canadian consumer law protects you with a penalty-free cancellation window. After 14 days, cancellation stops future shipments but does not generate a refund for the original purchase price (unless you dispute the charge with your bank or Carpe offers a refund under its satisfaction guarantee).
When to cancel versus when to keep your Carpe subscription
Deciding whether to cancel depends on your usage, budget, and satisfaction with the product.
When to cancel Carpe
Cancel your subscription if the product does not meet your expectations, if you experience skin irritation, or if you have accumulated enough stock. Cancel immediately if you notice unwanted charges or do not recognize why you are enrolled in recurring billing. Cancel also if the Subscribe & Save discount no longer offsets your actual usage or if you have found a product you prefer at a lower cost.
When to keep your Carpe subscription
Keep your subscription if the product works well for your skin, if you use it consistently, and if the 20% discount justifies the every-4-weeks cycle. The Subscribe & Save plan makes sense when you use the full stick before the next delivery arrives and when regular re-orders would otherwise cost more.

What happens after you cancel your Carpe subscription
Cancellation takes effect immediately in most cases, but understanding the timeline protects you from surprise charges.
Billing timeline after cancellation
When you cancel before your next billing date, Carpe stops all future charges. If you cancel after a charge has already been processed but before shipment, you may be entitled to a refund (Yafee recommends contacting Carpe's customer service to request this). If your next billing date is within 24 to 48 hours and Carpe has already initiated the charge, the payment may still process; however, you can dispute this with your bank if cancellation was completed before the charge date.
Your next steps after cancellation
- Monitor your bank or credit card account for any charges from Carpe over the next 30 days.
- If a charge appears after cancellation, screenshot it immediately and contact Carpe's customer service.
- If Carpe refuses to refund a post-cancellation charge, contact your bank and file a chargeback dispute.
- In Canada, you can also file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority if Carpe continues to bill you unlawfully.
Refunds and chargebacks after Carpe cancellation
Your right to a refund depends on when you cancel and which product you purchased.
14-day right of withdrawal
Under the Canadian Consumer Protection Act, you have 14 days from the date of purchase to cancel a subscription without penalty and receive a full refund. This applies to your first order under the Subscribe & Save plan. To claim this, contact Carpe within 14 days and request your refund. Yafee recommends doing this in writing (email or registered mail) to create a record.
Post-14-day cancellations
After 14 days, cancellation stops future charges but does not entitle you to a refund of the original purchase. However, if Carpe auto-enrolled you without clear consent or failed to disclose billing terms, you may dispute the original charge with your bank as unauthorized.
Filing a chargeback with your bank
- Log into your bank's online portal or contact your bank's dispute department.
- File a chargeback or dispute for any Carpe charge you believe was unauthorized or made after cancellation.
- Provide your bank with:
- Screenshots of your cancellation confirmation.
- Copies of emails confirming cancellation.
- Proof that you requested cancellation (email confirmations, registration mail tracking).
- Your account statement showing the disputed charge.
- Your bank will investigate within 10 to 30 business days and either credit your account or deny the dispute.
- If denied, you can escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Carpe
Cancellation is straightforward when you follow these steps, and avoiding these errors ensures your subscription ends without continued charges.
Mistake 1: assuming cancellation is complete without confirmation
Do not assume your subscription is cancelled simply because you clicked a button or sent an email. Always wait for a confirmation message or email from Carpe before treating the cancellation as final. Yafee has documented cases where customers believed they cancelled but were charged again because their request did not process. Save all confirmation documents immediately.
Mistake 2: not checking your account after cancellation
Log back into your Carpe account 24 hours after cancellation to verify that your subscription no longer appears in your active subscriptions list. If it still shows as active, contact Carpe immediately. This step takes less than one minute and prevents unwanted charges.
Mistake 3: ignoring unauthorized charges
If a charge from Carpe appears on your statement after you cancelled, act within 60 days. Contact your bank immediately to file a dispute. Waiting longer than 60 days may limit your ability to recover the money through a chargeback. Yafee recommends reviewing your statement weekly during the month after cancellation.
Mistake 4: not requesting a cancellation confirmation number
When you cancel by phone or email, always request a confirmation number or reference code. Write down the date, time, and representative's name. This documentation is critical if you need to dispute a charge or file a complaint with a consumer protection authority.
Mistake 5: cancelling without understanding the next billing date
Before you cancel, check your subscription details to see when your next automatic charge is scheduled. Cancelling one day after a charge processes will not refund that charge; you will only stop future charges. If a charge has just processed, contact Carpe immediately to request a refund as part of your 14-day withdrawal right (if applicable).

If Carpe continues to charge you after cancellation
If Carpe refuses to honour your cancellation or continues to bill you, escalation protects your money and holds the company accountable.

- File a chargeback for "unauthorized charge" or "cancelled subscription with continued billing."
- Submit all evidence (cancellation confirmation, correspondence with Carpe, bank statements).
- Your bank will investigate and typically resolve within 10 to 30 business days.
Step 3: escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority
- If your bank's chargeback is denied or if Carpe continues to bill despite chargebacks, file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection office.
- In Ontario, contact Consumer Protection Ontario (part of ServiceOntario); in British Columbia, contact the Consumer Protection BC; in Alberta, contact Alberta's Fair Trading Act authority.
- Provide your provincial authority with your cancellation confirmation, bank statements, and all correspondence with Carpe.
- Your province's consumer protection office can investigate Carpe's billing practices and take enforcement action if warranted.
