How to cancel your Boshhh meal subscription and get your money back
What Boshhh is and why you might want to leave
Boshhh is a UK-based plant-based meal kit delivery service designed for busy people, families, and anyone exploring meat-free eating. Each week or fortnight, Boshhh delivers pre-portioned ingredients and recipe cards to your door, eliminating meal planning stress and supermarket trips. Unlike generic meal services that treat vegan options as an afterthought, Boshhh builds every recipe around plant-based ingredients from the ground up, sourcing from UK and European suppliers with seasonal produce prioritised wherever possible.
The service appeals to committed vegans, flexitarians, and anyone curious about reducing meat consumption. However, circumstances change. Whether you've shifted your dietary approach, need to manage your budget differently, or simply want greater flexibility, Yafee is here to guide you through the cancellation process safely and efficiently.
Who uses Boshhh
Boshhh attracts time-poor professionals, parents, and home cooks intimidated by vegan meal preparation. Pre-portioned ingredients and step-by-step photography remove barriers to cooking. The service has built a loyal following among people who value convenience alongside ethical eating choices and sustainability.
Why subscribers cancel Boshhh
Subscribers cancel for legitimate reasons spanning budget pressures, dietary changes, allergies, or a return to omnivorous eating patterns. Other cancellations stem from wanting greater meal variety, dissatisfaction with recipe selection, or preferring flexibility of traditional grocery shopping. Understanding your own reason helps you decide whether to cancel permanently or pause your subscription temporarily instead.

What affects your cancellation costs
Your final charges depend on which plan you've selected and when your next scheduled delivery falls. Most subscription services, including Boshhh, require you to provide notice before your upcoming delivery date. If you cancel after a box has already shipped, you typically cannot receive a refund for that delivery. Yafee recommends checking your account dashboard to confirm your next delivery date before you initiate cancellation. This single step prevents accidental charges you weren't expecting.
When to pause instead of cancel
Cancellation is not always the right solution. If you're temporarily short on cash, on holiday, or unsure whether you want to leave permanently, Boshhh allows you to skip individual weeks or pause your subscription for up to 12 weeks. Pausing preserves your account and customer preferences without charging you, making it ideal for temporary changes in circumstance. You can resume deliveries whenever you're ready without re-entering payment details or preferences. Consider pausing before you cancel permanently.
Your consumer rights when cancelling
UK consumer law protects your right to cancel subscription services and receive fair treatment when you do so.
Your legal position under UK consumer protection law
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 (as retained in UK law) establish your statutory right to cancel a distance contract within 14 calendar days of purchase without providing a reason. However, subscription services operate differently. Once you enter into a subscription contract, your right to cancel depends on the contract terms and when you provide notice.
Under the Distance Selling Regulations, you have a statutory 14-day cooling-off period from the point you enter the subscription agreement. Nevertheless, once this period expires, you can only cancel by following Boshhh's cancellation process. Boshhh must allow you to cancel without penalty, though they may charge for services already provided and delivered.
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 also protects you against unfair contract terms. Any clause requiring excessive notice periods or charging excessive early termination fees may be deemed unfair and unenforceable. If Boshhh refuses to cancel your subscription, you can escalate your complaint to the Consumer Rights Authority or your local Trading Standards office.
How the law protects refund entitlement
You are entitled to a refund for future deliveries you've paid for but have not yet received, provided you cancel before the box ships. Once a delivery has left Boshhh's warehouse, you typically cannot refuse that delivery or recover its cost. If you dispute a charge or believe Boshhh has breached its contract terms, you can raise a formal complaint with your payment provider or the Financial Conduct Authority if the issue involves unauthorised charges.
How to cancel your Boshhh subscription
Boshhh provides multiple cancellation methods to suit your preference and circumstances.

- Open the Boshhh mobile app on your smartphone or tablet and log in with your registered email and password.

Cancel by post
- Contact Boshhh customer service via phone or email first to confirm their postal cancellation process and address, as this method is not standard.
- Prepare a letter containing:
- Your full name and email address
- The phone number associated with your account
- Your subscription start date
- Your preferred cancellation date
- A clear statement: "I request cancellation of my Boshhh subscription effective [date]"
- Post your letter via recorded delivery to the address Boshhh provides.
- Retain your recorded delivery receipt as proof of posting.
- Allow 5-7 working days for postal delivery and processing.
- Follow up by phone or email if you don't receive written confirmation within 10 days of posting.
What happens after you cancel
Understanding the post-cancellation process prevents confusion and protects you from unwanted charges.
Your account status and future access
Once you cancel, Boshhh will deactivate your subscription and prevent future charges from processing. Your account may remain in the system for record-keeping purposes, but you will not be charged. If you change your mind within 30 days of cancellation, you can reactivate your subscription by contacting customer service, though Yafee recommends confirming whether your previous plan settings are retained or reset.
Refund processing timescale
If you are due a refund for pre-paid future deliveries, Boshhh will initiate the refund within 14 calendar days of your cancellation request. The refund will return to your original payment method (debit card, credit card, or PayPal account). Your bank may take a further 3-5 working days to process the refund into your account. Monitor your bank statement carefully and contact your bank if the money has not appeared after 5 working days.
Final invoice and confirmation
Boshhh will send you a final invoice confirming the cancellation date, any refund due, and the amount you were charged for your last delivered box. Retain this invoice for your records. If the invoice contains errors or shows charges after your cancellation date, contact Boshhh immediately with your cancellation reference number.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but small errors can leave you vulnerable to unwanted charges. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate subscription cancellation safely, and these precautions make the difference.
Assuming the cancellation is complete
Do not assume you are cancelled until you receive written confirmation. Many subscribers cancel via the app but never receive confirmation email. Always wait for an email confirmation from Boshhh before considering your cancellation final. If you don't receive confirmation within 24 hours, follow up by phone or email to verify your cancellation has been processed.
Cancelling too late in your billing cycle
If you cancel after your delivery has shipped, you cannot retrieve it or receive a refund for that box. Check your account dashboard or recent emails to identify your exact delivery date. Aim to cancel at least 5 working days before your next scheduled delivery. This buffer ensures your cancellation processes before the box is packed and dispatched.
Deleting your email confirmation
Retain your cancellation confirmation email indefinitely. If Boshhh charges you after you've cancelled, this email is your primary evidence that you complied with their cancellation procedure. Without it, disputing the charge becomes significantly harder. Store the email in a dedicated folder or save it as a PDF for permanent safekeeping.
Forgetting to check for recurring charges
Even after cancellation, monitor your bank statement for 60 days to ensure no further charges appear. Subscription systems occasionally process charges due to database delays or human error. If an unauthorised charge appears, contact your bank immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation number.
Claiming a refund if Boshhh refuses to cancel
If Boshhh declines your cancellation request or continues charging you after you've cancelled, you have legal remedies available to you.
Step 1: document everything in writing
- Gather all evidence: cancellation confirmation emails, screenshots, call recordings (if you recorded your call), and bank statements showing disputed charges.
- Send a formal written complaint to Boshhh's customer service email address, clearly stating that you cancelled on [date] and are entitled to a refund.
- Reference the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and request a response within 14 days.
- Keep copies of all correspondence you send and receive.
Step 2: escalate to your payment provider
- Contact your bank, building society, or PayPal account (whichever processed the payment).
- Report the charge as unauthorised or disputed under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
- Provide copies of your cancellation confirmation and correspondence with Boshhh.
- Your payment provider can issue a chargeback or dispute on your behalf within 120 days of the charge.
Step 3: contact your local trading standards office or consumer rights authority
- If Boshhh refuses to acknowledge your complaint or your payment provider's chargeback attempt fails, escalate to your local Trading Standards office or Citizens Advice Consumer Service.
- File a formal complaint providing all documentation collected in Step 1.
- Trading Standards can investigate whether Boshhh is engaging in unfair contract practices and pursue enforcement action if necessary.
