Frequently asked questions
Cancel Ancient and Brave: The Right Way
How to cancel your Ancient and Brave subscription and reclaim control of your wellness budget
Understanding Ancient and Brave and why you might want to cancel
Ancient and Brave is a UK-based nutrition company that delivers premium collagen supplements, functional coffee blends, and protein powders directly to your home on a recurring subscription schedule. The company has earned its reputation by sourcing sustainably and offering loyal customers discounts of 10-15% compared to one-off retail purchases. However, what begins as convenience can quickly become a financial commitment you no longer want or need.
When you sign up for an Ancient and Brave subscription, you enter a recurring contract that continues indefinitely until you actively cancel it. Many customers find themselves paying for products they no longer use because the cancellation process feels obscure or difficult to locate. Yafee exists to demystify this process. We have guided thousands of UK consumers through subscription cancellations with confidence, and this guide walks you through Ancient and Brave step by step.
Your cancellation rights are legally protected. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you hold specific entitlements when you decide to end a subscription. Yafee ensures you understand exactly what those rights are and how to enforce them if Ancient and Brave resists your cancellation request.
When should you consider cancelling?
You might be contemplating cancellation for entirely legitimate reasons. Perhaps the collagen powder did not deliver the skin or gut health benefits you expected. Your financial circumstances may have changed, making the monthly cost incompatible with your budget. You may have discovered that whole-food sources of collagen suit you better than supplements, or you simply forgot you were subscribed and now wish to halt unnecessary recurring charges.
Whatever your reason, you deserve a straightforward cancellation without guilt, delays, or hidden obstacles. Ancient and Brave does permit cancellations through their customer service channels, though the challenge lies in identifying those channels and understanding exactly what to communicate when you reach out.
The real cost of delaying your cancellation
Every week you remain subscribed costs you measurable money. If your subscription delivers every four weeks at an average of £32, you commit approximately £8 per week to a service you no longer want. Cancelling today rather than delaying until next month saves you around £32 in unnecessary charges. Yafee recommends acting immediately once you have decided to cancel, because each passing delivery cycle increases your total spend and compounds your frustration.
Pricing and what your subscription costs
Ancient and Brave subscription pricing fluctuates by product type and delivery frequency, but the company consistently rewards ongoing commitments with discounts against standard retail prices.
| Product category | Subscription price | Retail price | Saving |
|---|---|---|---|
| Collagen powder (250g) | £32-£35 | £38-£40 | 10-15% |
| Coffee blends | £28-£32 | £33-£36 | 10-15% |
| Protein powders | £24-£28 | £28-£32 | 10-15% |
| Bundle subscriptions (most popular) | £60-£90 | £70-£105 | 10-15% |
| Hot chocolate mixes | £26-£30 | £30-£34 | 10-15% |
| Specialty blends | £35-£45 | £40-£52 | 10-15% |
These prices shift based on promotional campaigns and product availability. Before you cancel, always verify your current account to confirm exactly what you are being charged. Yafee recommends taking a screenshot of your billing page as evidence of what you paid, in case you need to dispute a charge later or request a partial refund for the current billing cycle.
Your consumer rights under UK law
Your right to cancel an Ancient and Brave subscription is grounded in robust UK consumer legislation that protects you even after you have paid.
The legal framework protecting your cancellation
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 (the primary piece of UK consumer law) grants you a 14-day cancellation period for distance contracts-purchases made online or by phone without face-to-face interaction. This cooling-off period begins on the day you receive your first order. If you wish to cancel within this window, you may do so without penalty, provided you have not opened or consumed the products.
For ongoing subscriptions beyond the initial 14 days, the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 require that Ancient and Brave must provide you with clear, accessible cancellation mechanisms. The company must display its cancellation procedure prominently on its website and honour your cancellation request within a reasonable timeframe-generally interpreted as 14 days from the date they receive your notice.
Furthermore, if Ancient and Brave continues to charge you after you have cancelled, you can dispute those charges with your bank or payment provider under the Chargeback scheme (administered by your card issuer) or raise a complaint with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) if payment disputes arise.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel your Ancient and Brave subscription at any time, provided you give reasonable notice (typically interpreted as notice before the next billing cycle). You do not require a reason, and the company cannot impose penalties or restocking fees for cancellation alone. If Ancient and Brave refuses to cancel your subscription or continues to charge you after you have cancelled, you can escalate your complaint to Citizens Advice Consumer Service or the Trading Standards office in your local authority. Yafee advises keeping all correspondence (emails, phone logs, screenshots) as evidence of your cancellation request.
Methods for cancelling your Ancient and Brave subscription
Ancient and Brave offers multiple cancellation routes; your task is to select the method that leaves the clearest audit trail.
Cancellation via your online account
Log in to your Ancient and Brave account on their website. Navigate to "My Subscriptions" or "Account Settings" (exact labels vary by website design). Locate your active subscription and select "Cancel Subscription" or "Pause Delivery". Some companies offer a pause option before full cancellation; if you simply want to skip one delivery, use pause. If you wish to end the subscription permanently, select cancel. You will typically see a confirmation page or email confirming cancellation. Screenshot this confirmation immediately.
Cancellation via email
If you cannot cancel online or prefer a written record, contact Ancient and Brave's customer service email address (typically [email protected] or a similar variation-check their website contact page). Write a clear email stating: your full name, email address linked to your account, the date you wish cancellation to take effect, and your subscription order number (find this on any invoice or order confirmation). Request written confirmation of cancellation and ask them to confirm the date your charges will cease. Send this email and retain a copy in your records.
Cancellation via telephone
Locate Ancient and Brave's customer service phone number on their website. Call during business hours and ask to speak with a customer service representative about subscription cancellation. Provide your account details and clearly state that you wish to cancel your subscription effective immediately or on a specified date. Take note of the representative's name, the time you called, and any reference number provided. Follow up with an email reiterating what you discussed, so you have written confirmation of the phone conversation.
Step-by-step cancellation process
This section breaks down the exact sequence of actions to ensure your cancellation proceeds smoothly and leaves a clear record.
Step one: gather your account information
- Locate your most recent Ancient and Brave invoice or order confirmation email
- Note your subscription order number or subscription ID
- Record the email address associated with your account
- Note the date of your last or upcoming delivery
- Take a screenshot of your account page showing your active subscription status
- Capture the subscription cost, delivery frequency, and next billing date
- Save this as evidence of your subscription before cancellation
Step two: choose your cancellation method and initiate cancellation
- If cancelling online: Log in to your account, navigate to subscriptions, and click cancel. Screenshot the confirmation page.
- Check your email for an automated confirmation within 1-2 hours
- If no confirmation arrives within 24 hours, proceed to Step Three via email
- If cancelling via email: Compose a cancellation email (see template below) and send to the customer service address listed on Ancient and Brave's website
- Use the subject line: "Subscription Cancellation Request - [Your Email Address]"
- Send a copy to yourself for your records
- If cancelling by phone: Call the customer service number, ask for cancellation, and note the representative's name and any reference number
- End the call by stating: "Please confirm you will send me a cancellation confirmation email"
Step three: confirm cancellation in writing
- Within 24 hours of your online or phone cancellation, send a follow-up email stating:
- Your full name
- Your subscription ID or order number
- The date and time you cancelled (if by phone, include the representative's name)
- Request confirmation that your subscription is cancelled and charges will cease
- Keep this email and any response in a dedicated folder on your computer or in your email archive
Step four: monitor your payment account
- Check your bank or card statement 5-7 days after your next scheduled billing date
- Verify that no charge from Ancient and Brave appears
- If a charge appears, note the exact amount and date
- If an unwanted charge appears, contact your bank immediately and file a dispute or chargeback request
- Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation email and any confirmations
- Your bank will investigate and typically refund the charge within 7-10 working days
What to expect after you cancel
Cancellation does not always terminate immediately; understanding the timeline protects you from unexpected surprise charges.
When will the cancellation take effect?
If you cancel before your billing cycle completes, Ancient and Brave will typically honour the cancellation for the next scheduled billing date. For example, if your subscription renews on the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 3rd, you will receive your current delivery but will not be charged on the 15th. If you cancel on the 16th, you will likely be charged for the next month because the billing cycle has already renewed.
Some companies offer pro-rata refunds if you cancel mid-cycle, but this is at their discretion. Yafee recommends cancelling just after your billing date rather than just before, to maximise the value you receive before charges cease.
Will you receive one final delivery?
If your subscription is mid-cycle when you cancel, you will almost certainly receive one final delivery before the cancellation takes effect. Do not reject this delivery; accept it and use or donate the products. Rejecting a final delivery can complicate your cancellation and create ambiguity about whether the company should charge you again.
Refund eligibility for unused stock
If you cancel and have unopened, unused products from a previous delivery, you may request a refund. However, Ancient and Brave is not obligated to refund these items unless they are faulty or you cancelled within the 14-day cooling-off period. If you wish to pursue a refund for unused products, contact customer service within 14 days of receiving them and reference the Consumer Rights Act 2015. Yafee advises that successful refund claims for unused supplements are uncommon, so treat the final delivery as the end of your subscription journey rather than an opportunity for reimbursement.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation processes can be frustrating, but these common missteps will derail your efforts; stay alert and you will emerge unscathed.
Mistake one: assuming your cancellation is complete without written confirmation
Many customers cancel online, see a confirmation screen, and believe the matter is resolved. In reality, technical errors, website glitches, or processing delays can leave your subscription active. Always request written confirmation (via email) of your cancellation, and retain this email indefinitely.
Mistake two: cancelling during a promotional billing cycle
Some subscriptions are temporarily discounted (e.g., first month 50% off). If you cancel during a promotional period, the company may attempt to charge you the full promotional rate for the current cycle before honouring your cancellation. To avoid this, cancel outside promotional periods or confirm with customer service that no additional promotional charges will apply.
Mistake three: failing to monitor your account after cancellation
Yafee has encountered numerous cases where companies quietly reactivated subscriptions weeks or months after cancellation. Monitor your bank statement for at least two billing cycles after cancellation to ensure charges have stopped. If a charge reappears, contact your bank immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation email.
Mistake four: not disputing unauthorised charges promptly
If Ancient and Brave charges you after cancellation, do not delay in disputing the charge. Your bank's chargeback window typically closes 120 days after the transaction. Dispute the charge within 7 days of noticing it to maximise your chances of success.
Cancellation confirmation checklist
Before you consider your cancellation complete, tick off every item on this checklist.
| Task | Completed | Evidence to retain |

| Received written confirmation of cancellation | [ ] Yes [ ] No | Confirmation email from Ancient and Brave |

Comparison of cancellation methods
Each cancellation route carries distinct advantages and disadvantages; choose the method that best aligns with your preference for speed versus documentation.
| Method | Speed | Written proof | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Online account cancellation | Instant | Screenshot only | Customers confident in website functionality |
| Email cancellation | 24-48 hours | Email thread | Customers who prefer a permanent written record |
| Phone cancellation | Immediate | Call log + follow-up email | Customers who want to speak to a representative |
| Email + online cancellation (combined) | 24-48 hours | Screenshot + email | Customers who want maximum protection |
Escalation: what to do if Ancient and Brave refuses to cancel
Occasionally, companies resist cancellation requests or claim they never received them; you have legal recourse.
Step one: escalate within the company
Contact Ancient and Brave's customer service again and explicitly state that you submitted a cancellation request on [date] and have not received confirmation. Request escalation to a supervisor or the complaints department. Yafee recommends using the phrase: "I am formally requesting escalation of my cancellation request to your complaints team." This signals that you understand your rights and are not accepting dismissal.
Step two: raise a formal complaint with citizens advice
If Ancient and Brave continues to refuse cancellation after 14 days, file a formal complaint with Citizens Advice Consumer Service. Provide them with copies of all correspondence, cancellation requests, and evidence of charges after your cancellation request. Citizens Advice will write to the company on your behalf and typically resolves the matter within 4-6 weeks.
Step three: report to trading standards
If the company persists in breaching your cancellation rights, report Ancient and Brave to your local Trading Standards office (search online for "[Your Local Council] Trading Standards"). Trading Standards investigates breaches of consumer law and can take enforcement action against the company.
Step four: dispute charges with your bank
Simultaneously, file a chargeback or dispute claim with your bank for any unauthorised charges made after your cancellation request. Provide your bank with all evidence of your cancellation attempt and the company's refusal to honour it. Your bank can reverse the charges and investigate the merchant.
Contacting Ancient and Brave customer service
