How to cancel your Justfab membership in Canada: step-by-step legal guide
How to cancel your Justfab membership in canada: step-by-step legal guide
Understanding Justfab and why you might want to cancel
Justfab operates as a subscription-based fashion retailer offering a monthly VIP membership model to Canadian shoppers. Your monthly fee grants you discounted pricing, up to $80 CAD in virtual credits, and early access to exclusive collections. You pay in US dollars, which converts to Canadian currency at your credit card provider's rate, plus applicable shipping charges to your Canadian address. Many members find the subscription valuable initially, then discover the monthly commitment no longer aligns with their shopping habits or budget. At Yafee, we recognize that subscription fatigue affects thousands of Canadian consumers, and you have the legal right to cancel whenever you choose.
Justfab pricing and membership costs

Your actual Canadian cost includes currency conversion fees applied by your credit card issuer, which typically add 1.5% to 3% to the base USD price. Shipping to most Canadian addresses costs between $10 and $20 CAD per order. If you pay US$49.95 monthly, you pay approximately $67 to $73 CAD before shipping, depending on your card's exchange rate. If you are not using your monthly credits or the total spend exceeds your budget, cancellation becomes the financially sensible choice.
Your consumer rights as a canadian member
Canadian consumer protection law provides you with statutory cancellation rights and protections against unfair billing practices.
Distance selling and automatic renewal requirements
Canada's Competition Act and provincial consumer protection legislation (including Ontario's Consumer Protection Act and similar statutes in British Columbia, Alberta, and other provinces) strictly regulate automatic renewal subscriptions. Merchants must obtain your clear, informed consent before charging you for any renewal. More importantly, the law requires that cancellation be easy and accessible. If Justfab makes cancellation deliberately difficult or continues billing you after you have submitted a valid cancellation request, the company violates federal and provincial law.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel your Justfab VIP membership at any time without penalty. Canadian consumer protection statutes do not permit subscription services to lock you into long-term contracts or charge early termination fees. If Justfab refuses your cancellation request or continues charging your card after cancellation, you can file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority, dispute the charge with your credit card company, or contact the Competition Bureau. Yafee recommends you document every cancellation attempt with timestamps, employee names, and confirmation numbers so you have evidence if you need to escalate.
Merchant obligations and your recourse
Under Canadian law, Justfab must honor your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe, typically within one billing cycle. The company must cease all charges to your card immediately upon receiving valid cancellation notice. If Justfab bills you after cancellation, you can initiate a chargeback through your credit card issuer, file a complaint with your provincial attorney general's office, or lodge a report with the Better Business Bureau. Yafee has helped thousands of Canadian consumers navigate these disputes successfully by ensuring they preserve all written cancellation evidence.
How to cancel your Justfab membership
You have multiple reliable cancellation methods, each offering different levels of proof and convenience.
Method 1: cancel online via your account dashboard
This is the fastest route for most Canadian members and creates an instant digital record of your cancellation.
- Visit justfab.com and log in with your email address and password.
- Navigate to My Account or Account Settings (location varies by account interface).
- Locate the section labeled Subscription, VIP Membership, or Manage My VIP.
- Select Cancel VIP Membership or Cancel Subscription.
- Justfab may display a retention offer or discount to keep you subscribed; decline it if you are certain about cancelling.
- Confirm your cancellation request on the final screen.
- Screenshot or save the confirmation page showing your cancellation was processed successfully.
- Check your email within 24 hours for a cancellation confirmation from Justfab with the date your membership ends.
Method 2: contact customer service via email
Email provides a written record and is legally significant if you later need to dispute unauthorized charges.
- Send an email to Justfab's customer support address requesting cancellation of your VIP membership.
- Include your full name, email address associated with your account, and account number (found in your account dashboard).
- Write clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my Justfab VIP membership effective today" with the current date.
- Request written confirmation of cancellation in the response email.
- Save the email thread, including the confirmation, as evidence.
Method 3: use registered mail with return receipt
This method provides the highest level of legal proof and is recommended if you have previously had billing disputes or if online methods fail.
- Write a formal cancellation letter including:
- Your full name and address
- Your Justfab account email and account number
- The statement: "I hereby cancel my Justfab VIP membership effective immediately"
- The current date
- Your signature
- Mail the letter via Canada Post using Registered Mail with Return Receipt (RMRR) to Justfab's corporate address.
- The return receipt proves Justfab received your cancellation notice on a specific date, which is critical legal evidence.
- Keep the RMRR receipt and the returned receipt in a safe file.
Method 4: phone cancellation
Speaking directly with a customer service representative offers immediate confirmation but lacks written proof.
- Call Justfab's customer service number during business hours.
- Provide your account information and request cancellation of your VIP membership.
- Ask the agent to provide a confirmation number and note the date and agent name.
- Request that the agent email you a cancellation confirmation immediately after the call.
- Do not rely on phone cancellation alone if you cannot obtain written confirmation; follow up with an email within 24 hours reiterating your cancellation request with the date and agent name.
What happens after you submit your cancellation
Understanding the timeline and what to expect protects you from continued unwanted charges.
Billing timeline and final charges
When you cancel your Justfab VIP membership, the cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle. If you cancel on the 15th of the month and your billing date is the 1st, your membership continues until the 1st of the following month, and you are charged one final time on that date. After that date, no further charges should appear on your credit card. Monitor your account for 30 to 60 days after your final billing date to ensure no phantom charges occur.
Verifying cancellation in your account
Log into your Justfab account one week after cancellation to confirm your VIP status has changed to "cancelled" or "inactive." If your account still shows an active membership and you have received written cancellation confirmation, contact customer support immediately with your confirmation number.
Credit card statement review
Review your credit card statement carefully for the two billing cycles following your cancellation request. If Justfab charges you after your cancellation took effect, you have grounds to dispute the charge immediately with your credit card company. Yafee advises keeping all cancellation confirmations readily accessible so you can reference them during any chargeback dispute with your card issuer.
Refunds and unused credits
Canadian consumer law entitles you to fair treatment regarding any unused funds in your account.
Monthly VIP credits and refund eligibility
Justfab provides up to $80 CAD in monthly VIP credits, which you can use on products during your membership. These credits typically expire at the end of each month and do not roll over. If you cancel mid-month, any unused credits from the current month are forfeited. Justfab does not refund unused credits as cash. However, if you have already been charged for the current month and you cancel before using your credits, you have a legitimate argument under consumer protection law that you should receive a pro-rata refund or the ability to use those credits before cancellation takes effect.
Requesting a pro-rata refund
If you cancel early in your billing cycle and have unused credits, contact Justfab customer support with this request: "I have cancelled my VIP membership and have $XX in unused monthly credits as of [date]. I request a pro-rata refund of my membership fee for the unused portion of this month." Justfab may deny this request, but you have legal grounds to escalate to your provincial consumer protection authority if the company refuses and your cancellation was within the statutory cooling-off period.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Many Canadian Justfab members encounter preventable problems during cancellation; awareness helps you sidestep these traps entirely.
Relying solely on the skip month feature
Justfab offers a skip month option, which temporarily pauses your membership without cancelling it. Members sometimes skip repeatedly thinking they have cancelled, only to discover months later that they were still enrolled and charged. Skip is not cancellation. If you intend to end your membership permanently, submit an explicit cancellation request, not a skip request.
Assuming online cancellation is automatic
Some members click the cancel button, see an on-screen message, but never receive email confirmation. Technical glitches can prevent the cancellation from processing. Always save the confirmation page screenshot and verify via email within 24 hours that Justfab has sent you written cancellation confirmation. If no email arrives, cancel again or use email or registered mail as a backup method.
Not monitoring your card after cancellation
A small percentage of Justfab members report unexpected charges weeks after their cancellation. Yafee strongly advises you review your credit card statement monthly for 60 days after your final billing date. If you spot a post-cancellation charge, dispute it immediately with your card issuer and provide your cancellation confirmation as evidence.
Forgetting to document your cancellation attempt
If you must escalate a dispute with Justfab or your credit card company, you need dated proof of your cancellation request. Do not rely on memory. Screenshot confirmation pages, save email threads, and retain registered mail receipts. Yafee has assisted consumers who lost disputes simply because they had no written evidence of their cancellation attempt.

Escalation: what to do if Justfab refuses your cancellation
Rarely, some merchants ignore cancellation requests or continue billing after cancellation; Canadian law provides you clear recourse.
File a chargeback with your credit card company
Contact your credit card issuer immediately if Justfab charges you after you have submitted valid cancellation notice. Provide your cancellation confirmation (email, screenshot, or RMRR receipt) and request a chargeback. Visa, Mastercard, and American Express all permit chargebacks for unauthorized continued billing after cancellation. Your card issuer will investigate and typically reverse the charge within 30 to 90 days.
Report to your provincial consumer protection authority
File a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection agency:
- Ontario: Consumer Protection Ontario (CPO)
- British Columbia: British Columbia Office of the Superintendent (BCUC)
- Alberta: Alberta Fair Trading Act enforcement
- Other provinces: Contact your provincial attorney general's office
Provide your cancellation proof, evidence of the unwanted charge, and copies of all communications with Justfab. These agencies investigate subscription abuse and can pursue enforcement action against repeat offenders.
Contact the competition bureau
For systemic billing problems affecting multiple consumers, the Competition Bureau (a federal agency) accepts complaints about unfair subscription practices. If Justfab engages in a pattern of ignoring cancellation requests, file a complaint at competitionbureau.gc.ca.
Key steps before you cancel: final checklist
Use this checklist to ensure a smooth, legally sound cancellation process.
- Review your current VIP credit balance and plan how to use remaining funds before cancellation takes effect.
- Check your billing cycle end date so you understand when your final charge will post.
- Choose your cancellation method (online, email, registered mail, or phone) based on your need for proof.
- Submit your cancellation request and immediately save or screenshot the confirmation.
- Wait for written email confirmation from Justfab within 24 hours.
- If using registered mail, retain the return receipt as legal evidence.
- Document the date, method, and any confirmation numbers associated with your cancellation.
- Verify in your account one week later that your VIP status shows as cancelled or inactive.
- Monitor your credit card statement for your final charge, then check again 30 and 60 days later for unauthorized post-cancellation charges.
- Keep all cancellation confirmations in a file for one year in case you need to dispute any charges.
