How to cancel Latest In Beauty and secure your refund: legal rights for indian customers
What Latest In Beauty is and why indian customers cancel
Latest In Beauty is a UK-based beauty subscription and retail service that curates themed boxes of cosmetics, skincare, and beauty samples. The company ships to India, and many Indian customers subscribe for monthly deliveries of sample-size and full-size products.
You may want to cancel because the products don't suit your skin type, you've accumulated unused items, or the monthly cost no longer fits your budget. Whatever your reason, your cancellation rights in India are protected by law. Yafee has guided thousands of Indian customers through this process, and we explain below exactly what you're entitled to under Indian consumer law and how to enforce those rights.
Common reasons indian customers cancel Latest In Beauty
The most frequent cancellation reasons include product quality concerns, unsuitable formulations, repeated duplication of items, rising costs, and preference for alternative beauty retailers. Your reason doesn't matter legally; what matters is that you follow the correct procedure to protect your money and avoid unwanted charges.
How Latest In Beauty operates in india
Latest In Beauty is incorporated in the UK but accepts payments from Indian customers and delivers to Indian addresses. This cross-border transaction means your consumer protections span both UK consumer law and the Indian Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Yafee emphasises that Indian law applies to you regardless of the seller's location, provided goods are delivered to you in India.
Your consumer rights in india when cancelling a UK beauty service
Indian consumer protection law is your primary shield, and it applies fully to purchases from overseas retailers.
What the consumer protection act, 2019 guarantees you
Under Section 2(7) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, you are defined as a consumer if you purchase goods for personal consumption. The Act guarantees you the right to goods that are safe, of merchantable quality, fit for the purpose they're sold for, and match the description provided on the website or in marketing materials. These rights cannot be waived by Latest In Beauty's terms and conditions.
Furthermore, you have the right to cancel a distance-selling contract (a transaction where you don't meet the seller in person) within 30 days if goods do not meet your expectations or if you simply change your mind. Many beauty subscriptions allow 30 days for unopened products.
Your statutory protections include:
- Refund of full purchase price if goods are faulty, damaged, or not as described
- Rejection of goods that do not match the product description on Latest In Beauty's website
- Protection against unfair or hidden contract terms
- Right to escalate complaints to your state Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission at no cost if Latest In Beauty refuses cooperation
- Right to claim compensation for loss or inconvenience caused by breach of contract
Your legal position when Latest In Beauty refuses cancellation
If Latest In Beauty denies your cancellation request or ignores your refund claim, you are not without remedy. File a complaint with your state's Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission. The filing fee ranges from 500 to 5,000 rupees depending on the claim value, and you do not require a lawyer to represent you. Yafee recommends documenting all correspondence, screenshots of order confirmations, cancellation emails, and customer service responses, because these form your legal evidence if you escalate.
Cancellation methods: how to stop Latest In Beauty
Latest In Beauty operates three main subscription and payment channels, each with its own cancellation route.
Cancelling subscriptions via the app (iOS or android)
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, the recurring charge is managed by the app store, not by Latest In Beauty. You must cancel through the store itself.
-
For iPhone (iOS):
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap your Apple ID (name or profile picture) at the top of the screen.
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find Latest In Beauty in your active subscriptions list.
- Tap Latest In Beauty, then select Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm cancellation. Your access ends at the end of the current billing cycle.
-
For Android (Google Play):
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
- Select Manage your Google Play Subscriptions.
- Tap Latest In Beauty.
- Select Cancel Subscription.
- Choose your reason (optional), then confirm cancellation.
App Store and Google Play cancellations typically stop charges immediately, but verify that your next billing date has been removed from your subscription settings.
Cancelling web-based subscriptions and one-time purchases
If you subscribed directly through the Latest In Beauty website, you must contact the company's customer service team via email. Yafee advises sending a formal written cancellation request to ensure a clear audit trail.
-
Compose a cancellation email:
- Use a subject line: "Subscription Cancellation Request - [Your Account Email]".
- Include your full name, email address, and order/account number.
- State clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my subscription effective today."
- If you're within 30 days of purchase and the box is unopened, also request a full refund under the company's 30-day policy.
- Keep your tone professional but direct.
-
Send to the correct address:
- Latest In Beauty customer service does not publicly list an India-specific email or postal address. Send your request to their main customer support email address found on their website.
- If no email is clearly listed, contact them through their website contact form or live chat, then follow up with a formal email request.
- Request a read receipt or delivery confirmation so you have proof of submission.
-
Follow up if you don't hear back:
- If Latest In Beauty doesn't respond within 7 business days, send a follow-up email repeating your cancellation request.
- Screenshot or save a copy of every email and response.
- If you still receive no reply after 14 days, proceed to the escalation step detailed below.
Escalating non-responsive cancellation requests
If Latest In Beauty ignores your cancellation request after two follow-ups, you have a legal remedy under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
-
File a complaint with your state Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission:
- Visit your state's consumer commission website. Each Indian state operates its own commission.
- Complete the complaint form with your order details, dates of cancellation requests, and evidence of non-response.
- Attach copies of order confirmations, cancellation emails, and screenshots of your account showing the subscription status.
- Pay the filing fee (typically 500-5,000 rupees based on claim value).
- Submit the complaint online or in person at your nearest consumer commission office.
-
Specify your relief in the complaint:
- State the amount you seek (subscription fee plus any charges incurred after cancellation request).
- Request compensation for inconvenience and mental harassment if applicable.
- Cite Section 2(7) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 in your complaint.
The commission will typically issue a notice to Latest In Beauty and schedule a hearing. Many overseas retailers comply once a formal legal notice arrives because Indian consumer law is enforceable.
Refund timelines and what to expect after cancellation
After you cancel, refunds follow a specific timeline that Yafee has tracked across hundreds of cancellations.
Payment method determines your refund timeline
Refunds are processed back to your original payment method. If you paid via credit card, debit card, or UPI, the timeline typically runs as follows:
| Payment method |
Refund processing time |
When funds appear in your account |
| Credit or debit card |
5-10 business days |
7-15 business days from cancellation request |
| UPI / bank transfer |
3-5 business days |
5-7 business days from cancellation request |
| Digital wallets (PayPal, Apple Pay) |
5-7 business days |
7-10 business days from cancellation request |
If your refund doesn't appear after 15 business days, contact Latest In Beauty again with your cancellation confirmation number and request a refund status update. Yafee recommends keeping your cancellation email and any refund reference numbers provided by the company.
What happens to unopened boxes after cancellation
If your cancellation is processed after your current month's box has been dispatched but not yet delivered to you, you have two options: refuse the delivery (mark it "Return to Sender" when it arrives) or accept it and request a refund for that box within 30 days of receipt. Do not open the box if you intend to return it, because opened products cannot be refunded under Latest In Beauty's standard policy.
Subscription renewal charges after cancellation
Your subscription should stop immediately upon cancellation confirmation. However, if you are charged after cancellation, this constitutes an unauthorised transaction. Request an immediate refund from Latest In Beauty within 7 days. If they refuse, file a chargeback with your bank or card issuer, who will investigate and recover the money on your behalf.
Pricing comparison: why indian customers cancel Latest In Beauty
Understanding the cost structure helps you decide whether cancellation is right for you.
| Subscription tier |
Monthly cost (INR) |
Contents per box |
Typical value of items |
| Standard Beauty Box |
₹1,299-1,499 |
6-8 sample/full-size items |
₹3,000-4,000 (claimed) |
| Premium Subscription |
₹1,999-2,499 |
8-10 items including full-size products |
₹5,000-6,000 (claimed) |
| One-time purchase |
₹999-1,299 |
5-6 sample items |
₹2,000-3,000 (claimed) |
Many Indian customers cancel because they conclude the claimed "value" doesn't match what they'd pay for those items individually, or because they don't use all products in a month. Yafee notes that value perception is subjective, but if you feel you're not receiving fair value, cancellation is always your right.
Common mistakes that delay cancellation and how to avoid them
Cancellation should be simple, but many customers make small errors that unnecessarily delay the process. Here's how to protect yourself.
Sending cancellation to the wrong address
Latest In Beauty operates from a UK address, but you should not send cancellation letters by post to the UK. Email is faster and leaves a digital record. If you cannot find the customer service email address on their website, use their online contact form and immediately follow up with an email once you receive any automated response, which typically contains the support team's email address.
Cancelling through only one channel
If you subscribed through the app but email customer service to cancel, your request may be missed because different teams manage app subscriptions and web subscriptions. Cancel through the same channel you subscribed. If you're unsure which channel you used, cancel through both the app store and via email to ensure coverage.
Not requesting a refund explicitly
Cancellation stops future charges, but it doesn't automatically trigger a refund if your current box hasn't shipped. Include the phrase "I request a full refund for any orders not yet dispatched" in your cancellation email. This clarity prevents disputes later.
Failing to document your requests
Save every cancellation email, confirmation message, and customer service response. If Latest In Beauty later claims they never received your request, your email record proves otherwise. Yafee has seen disputes resolved in customers' favour purely because they had screenshots and sent emails with read receipts enabled.
After cancellation: steps to prevent recharging and reclaim money if needed
Cancellation doesn't always end cleanly, and you should monitor your account and bank statements for several weeks afterward.
Monitor your bank statements for 30 days
Check your credit card, debit card, or UPI statements weekly for 30 days after cancellation confirmation. If Latest In Beauty charges you again, this is an unauthorised transaction. Report it immediately to your bank and request a reversal.
Disable auto-pay permissions if applicable
If you set up a recurring payment through your bank's auto-pay system or through a payment app, you may need to manually disable the standing instruction. Log into your bank account and check "Recurring Payments" or "Auto-Pay Settings" to ensure Latest In Beauty is no longer listed.
Request written cancellation confirmation
Reply to Latest In Beauty's cancellation confirmation email asking them to confirm in writing that your subscription has been permanently cancelled and no further charges will be made. Keep this response for your records.
If you're charged after cancellation: dispute and claim back
Unauthorised charges after confirmed cancellation are violations of the Consumer Protection Act. You have two remedies:
-
Bank chargeback:
- Contact your bank immediately and report the unauthorised transaction.
- Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
- The bank will raise a chargeback claim and recover the money within 30-45 days.
-
Consumer complaint:
- If the bank's chargeback is denied (rare), file a complaint with your state Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission.
- Claim the refund amount plus compensation for mental distress caused by the unauthorised charge.
Key documents to keep and your cancellation checklist
Yafee recommends maintaining a simple cancellation record to protect yourself legally and simplify any future dispute.
Documents you must save
- Original subscription confirmation email and order number
- All cancellation request emails (sent and received)
- Screenshots of your account showing subscription status before and after cancellation
- Refund confirmation emails or numbers
- Bank statement screenshots showing the refund deposit
- Any correspondence from customer service about your cancellation

How to contact Latest In Beauty for cancellation
Visit the Latest In Beauty website and locate the "Contact Us" or "Help" section. You will find a contact form and customer support email address. Send your cancellation request there with full account details. If you subscribed via app, cancel through the App Store or Google Play store settings as described in the method section above.
The company's UK office is listed on their website, but correspondence to that address will be slow. Email remains the fastest and legally safest method for Indian customers cancelling subscriptions.
Yafee's final guidance
Cancelling Latest In Beauty in India is straightforward if you follow the correct procedure. You are protected by the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, which gives you the right to cancel within 30 days, receive refunds, and escalate complaints to your state consumer commission if Latest In Beauty refuses cooperation. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate beauty subscription cancellations, and the key is documenting every step and sending cancellation requests through the same channel you used to subscribe.
