How to cancel your Spacegoods subscription and stop recurring charges
Why you need to cancel Spacegoods and what the law says
Spacegoods is a premium wellness subscription service that delivers functional mushroom-based nutritional products directly to your door across the United Kingdom. Their subscription model charges you automatically every 30 days (or at your chosen interval) until you actively cancel. This means if you've decided the service no longer fits your lifestyle or budget, you will keep paying unless you take deliberate action right now.
The good news is straightforward: you have legal protections. Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 and the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, UK consumers enjoy statutory rights over distance-selling contracts like Spacegoods subscriptions. You also have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date of purchase if you wish to change your mind entirely. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate subscription cancellations just like this one, so let's walk through exactly what you need to do.
Your legal position under UK consumer law
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 gives you specific protections when you sign up for a subscription service online. Any subscription with automatic renewal must display the cancellation terms clearly before you commit. Spacegoods is legally required to provide you with straightforward contact information and a simple cancellation process. If they've made cancellation deliberately difficult or hidden, that breaches consumer law, and you can escalate to the Citizens Advice Consumer Service or Trading Standards.
After your 14-day cooling-off period expires, you transition into the standard subscription cancellation framework. You still have rights: you can cancel at any time with reasonable notice (typically one billing cycle). You won't receive a refund for products already paid for unless they're faulty or undelivered, but you stop future charges immediately upon cancellation. Keep all confirmation emails and cancellation receipts as proof of your action.
When you should cancel Spacegoods
You might cancel Spacegoods for many legitimate reasons: the product isn't delivering the wellness benefits you expected, the monthly cost no longer fits your budget, you've found a more affordable alternative, or you've simply decided functional mushroom supplements aren't right for you. None of these require justification. Your subscription, your choice.
If you're uncertain whether to cancel, review your last three bank statements to see the cumulative cost. A £40-45 monthly subscription becomes £480-540 annually. If that money would be better spent elsewhere, cancellation is the right move.
Subscription pricing and what you're paying each month
Understanding Spacegoods' pricing structure helps you decide whether to cancel and ensures you're not surprised by unexpected charges.

Notice that quarterly prepay and standard monthly plans cost roughly the same annually, but prepay requires you to commit upfront. If you're unsure about Spacegoods, avoid prepay entirely. Yafee recommends starting with standard monthly so you can cancel at any point without financial penalty.
Step-by-step: how to cancel your Spacegoods subscription
Cancelling your Spacegoods subscription is straightforward once you know the correct procedure and contact method.
Gather your account details before you start
Before you contact Spacegoods, assemble the following information. This speeds up the cancellation process and prevents delays:
- Your registered email address with Spacegoods
- Your customer or subscription ID (find this in your confirmation emails or account dashboard)
- The payment method you used (debit card last four digits)
- Your full name and postal address as it appears on your account
- The date you started your subscription
Having this information ready means Spacegoods can identify your account immediately and process your cancellation without back-and-forth emails.
Contact Spacegoods via email to cancel
The primary method to cancel Spacegoods is by email. This creates a written record of your cancellation request, which protects you legally if there's any dispute about whether you cancelled.
- Open your email client and compose a new message to [email protected]
- In the subject line, write: "Subscription cancellation request - [your email address]"
- In the body, include the following:
- Your full name
- Your registered email address with Spacegoods
- Your customer or subscription ID
- A clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Spacegoods subscription effective today"
- The date you send the email
- Send the email and retain a copy for your records
- Wait for a confirmation email from Spacegoods within 2-3 working days
Yafee advises using a format like this: "I, [your name], request cancellation of my Spacegoods subscription registered to [email]. My subscription ID is [ID]. I confirm this cancellation should take effect immediately and no further charges should be applied." Precision matters because it leaves no room for Spacegoods to claim they misunderstood your intent.
Check for a cancellation confirmation
Once you've sent your cancellation email, you must wait for written confirmation from Spacegoods. This confirmation is your proof that the cancellation was processed.
- Check your email inbox and spam folder for a response within 2-3 working days
- Look for an email that explicitly states your subscription has been cancelled
- Note the cancellation date and any reference number provided
- Save this email permanently to your computer or cloud storage
- If you don't receive confirmation within 5 working days, send a follow-up email or contact Spacegoods again
The confirmation email is your legal evidence. If Spacegoods continues charging you after cancellation, this email proves you cancelled and protects your position in any dispute with your bank or the Citizens Advice Consumer Service.
Monitor your bank account for any further charges
After receiving cancellation confirmation, watch your bank statements or payment app for the next 30 days to ensure no further charges appear.
- Check your bank statement on your next usual billing date (the date you'd normally expect a Spacegoods charge)
- Verify that no charge from Spacegoods appears
- If a charge does appear after you've cancelled and received confirmation, contact your bank immediately and escalate to Spacegoods
- Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence that you cancelled
- Request a refund of the unauthorised charge
In most cases, Spacegoods will stop charging you within one billing cycle of cancellation. However, if a charge appears after you've sent a clear cancellation request, you have the legal right to dispute it with your bank. Your bank can reverse the charge under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
What happens to your refund after you cancel
Understanding refund rules is crucial so you're not disappointed after cancellation.
Refunds within 14 days of purchase
If you're cancelling within 14 days of your first Spacegoods purchase, you're within the statutory cooling-off period. You can request a full refund of all charges, including your first subscription payment. The Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 entitle you to this unconditionally.
When you email [email protected], explicitly state: "I am cancelling within 14 days of purchase and request a full refund under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013." Include the date you made your first purchase. Spacegoods must process this refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request.
Refunds after 14 days (standard cancellation)
Once you're beyond the 14-day cooling-off period, refund rules change. You cannot claim a refund for products you've already received and consumed. This is standard across UK consumer law. However, you can cancel and stop all future charges immediately.
If Spacegoods has already charged you for your next delivery (which hasn't arrived yet), that charge is typically refundable because you haven't received the goods. Request this refund explicitly in your cancellation email: "I understand I cannot reclaim previous deliveries, but I request a refund for the pending charge dated [date] for products not yet received."
Processing time for refunds
Spacegoods must process refunds within 14 days of receiving your cancellation request. The money typically appears back in your bank account within 3-5 working days after Spacegoods initiates the refund. If a refund doesn't appear after 21 days, contact your bank and provide them with your cancellation email.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
You're taking the right step by cancelling deliberately and deliberately. However, small mistakes can cause unnecessary delays or complications.
Don't rely on phone calls alone
If Spacegoods offers a phone number, using it as your sole cancellation method is risky. Phone calls create no written record, so Spacegoods could claim you never called or never requested cancellation. Always follow up any phone conversation with an email that summarises what you discussed: "Following our phone call on [date] at [time], I confirm I requested cancellation of my subscription effective immediately."
Don't assume pausing is the same as cancelling
Some subscription services offer a "pause" option that temporarily stops deliveries but keeps your subscription active. Pausing is not cancellation. You will still be charged when the pause period ends. If you want to cancel completely, use the word "cancel" clearly in your email, not "pause" or "skip a month."
Don't ignore unconfirmed cancellations
If Spacegoods doesn't send you written confirmation within 5 working days, don't assume you've cancelled. Send a follow-up email that references your first cancellation request. Include the date and time you sent the original email. This creates a clear paper trail if you need to escalate the matter later.
Don't overlook linked accounts or gift subscriptions
If someone gifted you a Spacegoods subscription or you have multiple subscriptions under different email addresses, verify you're cancelling the correct one. Check your bank statements to confirm which email address the charges are linked to, and cancel that specific subscription.
What to do after your cancellation is confirmed
Once Spacegoods confirms your cancellation, your obligation ends, but a few follow-up actions protect you further.
Keep all cancellation correspondence forever
Archive every email related to your cancellation, including your original request and Spacegoods' confirmation. Store copies in at least two places: your email archive and a separate document folder on your computer or cloud storage. If any dispute arises later (e.g., Spacegoods charges you months later by mistake), this correspondence is your proof.
Update your payment method if you wish
After cancellation, you don't need to change your payment method. However, if you're concerned about Spacegoods continuing to charge you by mistake, you can contact your bank and flag the account as "subscription cancelled" in your notes. This creates an additional layer of protection.
Check your next bank statement carefully
One billing cycle after cancellation, review your bank statement to confirm no Spacegoods charge appears. If a charge does appear, you have the legal right to dispute it as an unauthorised transaction. Contact your bank immediately and provide your cancellation email as evidence.
Your consumer rights and escalation routes
Understanding your legal position empowers you if Spacegoods refuses to honour your cancellation.
What the consumer rights act 2015 guarantees
The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is the primary UK law that protects you as a consumer buying from Spacegoods. It requires that:
- All cancellation terms are displayed clearly and prominently before you purchase
- You have the right to cancel within 14 days without penalty (cooling-off period)
- After 14 days, you can still cancel with reasonable notice, typically one billing cycle
- Spacegoods must provide a simple, fast cancellation process
- You receive written confirmation of your cancellation
If Spacegoods violates any of these rights, you have a legal claim against them.
What to do if Spacegoods refuses to cancel
If you've sent a clear cancellation request but Spacegoods ignores it or claims they never received it, escalate as follows:
- Send a second email to [email protected] with "URGENT: Escalation - Subscription cancellation not processed" in the subject line
- Reference your first cancellation email date and state that you have not received confirmation
- Give Spacegoods 5 working days to respond and confirm cancellation
- If they still don't respond, contact the Citizens Advice Consumer Service (citizensadvice.org.uk) or Trading Standards in your local area
- Provide both organisations with copies of your cancellation emails and bank statements showing ongoing charges
- File a complaint with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) if the charges continue and relate to a payment issue
Yafee has observed that most subscription services comply once you escalate to a consumer authority. The threat of regulatory action usually prompts immediate cancellation and refund.
Disputing charges via your bank
If Spacegoods continues charging you after cancellation, you don't have to wait for them to refund you. Contact your bank and dispute the charges as "subscription cancelled but charges still applied" or "unauthorised transaction." Your bank can reverse the charges within 8 weeks, and your cancellation email is your proof. This is faster than waiting for Spacegoods to respond.
Pricing comparison: is Spacegoods worth keeping?

Final steps: your cancellation checklist
Use this checklist to ensure your cancellation is complete and irrevocable.
- Gather your subscription ID and registered email address
- Draft your cancellation email to [email protected] with clear language
- Send the email and save a copy to your computer immediately
- Wait for written confirmation from Spacegoods within 5 working days
- Forward the confirmation email to your personal email account as a backup
- Check your bank statement on your next usual billing date for any charges
- If a charge appears, contact your bank and dispute it using your cancellation email as proof
- Archive all correspondence permanently in a folder titled "Spacegoods cancellation"
- Update any payment reminders or personal budget notes to reflect the cancellation
Complete every step on this checklist, and your cancellation will be legally secure. Yafee recommends treating subscription cancellations with the same care you'd give a formal contract termination. The law is on your side, but documentation protects you.
To cancel your Spacegoods subscription, contact them using the following verified method:
Email (primary method): [email protected]
Subject line: Subscription cancellation request - [your email address]
In your email, include: your full name, registered email, subscription ID, and the explicit statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Spacegoods subscription effective today."
Keep a copy of this email and the confirmation response you receive from Spacegoods. This correspondence is your legal proof of cancellation.
If Spacegoods does not confirm your cancellation within 5 working days, or if charges continue after cancellation, Yafee recommends escalating to the Citizens Advice Consumer Service or Trading Standards in your area. The Consumer Rights Act 2015 is your legal foundation, and these organisations enforce it. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers cancel subscriptions exactly like yours and recover unauthorised charges. Document every step, stay calm, and remember that the law protects your right to cancel. Once your cancellation is confirmed in writing, you're free from Spacegoods entirely.
