How to cancel Virtualpostmail and reclaim your ringgit without paying extra fees
What Virtualpostmail is and why you might need to leave
Virtualpostmail is a United States-based virtual mailbox service that lets you receive physical mail at a Henderson, Nevada address, view scans online, and arrange forwarding to any country. For Malaysians, the appeal is straightforward: a stable overseas mailing address for business registration, remote work, or international commerce. The reality is more nuanced, and cancellation requires deliberate action before your next billing date.
How Virtualpostmail works
You maintain a mailbox at 1887 Whitney Mesa Dr #8771, Henderson, NV 89014, USA. When mail arrives, Virtualpostmail scans the envelope, uploads images to your online dashboard, and gives you the option to request full content scans, check deposits, or physical forwarding. The service operates Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm PST, which means support replies often arrive late at night in Malaysia time. For Malaysians sending mail to Malaysia, forwarding can take significantly longer than domestic United States delivery.
Pricing structure for malaysian customers
Virtualpostmail bills exclusively in United States dollars (USD), which your Malaysian bank converts to ringgit (RM) at its daily rate. No Malaysia-specific pricing exists, and all invoices appear as foreign charges on your statement. Understanding the cost structure is essential before you commit, and equally important when calculating refunds after cancellation.

Additional charges accumulate separately. Content scans, forwarding, check deposits, and extra services all bill on top of your plan fee. Many Malaysian users discover these incremental costs only after reviewing their bank statements in ringgit.
Your consumer rights and what they mean for you
As a Malaysian consumer, your cancellation rights are protected under the Consumer Protection Act 1999, which gives you the right to cancel a distance contract (including online subscriptions) within fourteen calendar days of the contract date or receipt of the terms, whichever is later. After the fourteen-day cooling-off period, you can still cancel, but the company is not legally obliged to refund your payment unless the contract itself permits voluntary cancellation before the next billing cycle.
Your legal position
Virtualpostmail's terms of service govern whether you can cancel mid-cycle and receive a refund, or whether cancellation takes effect only at the end of your current billing period. The Consumer Protection Act 1999 does not mandate pro-rata refunds for ongoing services cancelled before the billing cycle ends, unless the service provider's own terms permit it. Therefore, your strongest position is to cancel before renewal, not after. If Virtualpostmail continues charging you after you cancel, or refuses to acknowledge a cancellation request, you can escalate the matter to the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (MDTCCL) or file a complaint with the Federation of Malaysian Consumer Associations (FMCA).
Enforcement routes if the company ignores you
If Virtualpostmail ignores your cancellation request or continues billing after you cancel, document every communication. Collect screenshots of your cancellation email (with proof of delivery), your billing statements, and any response (or non-response) from the company. Submit a formal complaint to the MDTCCL Consumer Affairs Division or the FMCA, which investigates unfair contract terms and non-compliance with consumer protection rules. Foreign companies serving Malaysian consumers are expected to comply with Malaysian consumer law; the fact that Virtualpostmail is based in the United States does not exempt it from this obligation.
How to cancel Virtualpostmail step by step
Cancellation requires active engagement; there is no one-click button on the public website. You must contact the company directly, document the request, and monitor your billing until the cancellation takes effect. Yafee recommends you follow this structured process to avoid repeated charges.
Step 1: gather and save everything before you request cancellation
Once your account is terminated, Virtualpostmail disables your login and stops accepting new mail. Any scanned documents, account history, and credits become inaccessible. Physical mail remaining in their facility is shredded and disposed of unless you arrange alternative forwarding.
- Log in to your Virtualpostmail dashboard and take a screenshot of your current plan, billing date, and account balance.
- Note the exact date your next renewal is due.
- Check whether you have any unused credits or promotional balances.
- Download or screenshot all scanned mail and documents you want to retain.
- Virtualpostmail provides a download function in the dashboard; use it for every item you need.
- If you receive frequent mail (such as bank statements or business documents), ensure you have copies before closing the account.
- Confirm your current mailing address with all third parties who send mail to your Virtualpostmail address.
- Update your address with your bank, government agencies, online marketplaces, and business clients.
- Request mail forwarding from any services still sending to the Henderson, Nevada address.
- Decide what happens to physical mail still in the facility.
- If you want it forwarded to Malaysia, note your Malaysia address and include it in the cancellation request.
- Estimate the cost: Virtualpostmail charges for forwarding, and Malaysian customs or import duties may apply.
- If you want the mail destroyed, confirm this in writing so no charges apply.
Step 2: submit your cancellation request by email
Virtualpostmail does not offer account cancellation through the web dashboard. You must contact them directly. The verified cancellation channel is email or their help portal.
- Send a cancellation email to [email protected] with the subject "Request to cancel account" or "Account closure request."
- Include your full name, email address, and the account email address registered with Virtualpostmail.
- State clearly: "I wish to cancel my subscription effective immediately" or "effective at the end of my current billing cycle on [DATE]."
- If you want mail forwarded, provide the complete Malaysia address where mail should be sent.
- If you want mail destroyed, state: "Please dispose of any physical mail in the facility."
- Request written confirmation of the cancellation within 48 hours.
- Retain a copy of your email and note the date and time sent.
- Use the "Request read receipt" function in Gmail, Outlook, or your email client to confirm delivery.
- Do not assume the email reached them without evidence.
- If you do not receive a response within 5 business days, follow up by phone.
- Call Virtualpostmail at +1 (909) 235-6245 during United States business hours (Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm PST).
- Ask to speak with customer support about your cancellation request.
- Take notes: record the name of the representative, the time of call, and their confirmation of the cancellation.
Step 3: handle cancellation if you signed up through apple or google billing
If you subscribed via Apple App Store or Google Play billing, Virtualpostmail cannot cancel the subscription on your behalf. You must cancel through the store itself, or both the store and Virtualpostmail may continue charging you.
- Cancel through Apple (iOS):
- Open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap your profile icon (top right) and select "Subscriptions."
- Find Virtualpostmail and tap "Manage."
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.
- Cancel through Google (Android):
- Open Google Play on your Android device.
- Tap your profile icon (top right) and select "Payments and subscriptions."
- Tap "Subscriptions" and select Virtualpostmail.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and follow the prompts.
- After cancelling via the store, also email [email protected] confirming that you have cancelled the store subscription and requesting the account be closed.
- This prevents the company from attempting to reactivate billing if the store cancellation is reversed.
Step 4: monitor your bank statement for fourteen days after cancellation
Once you cancel, Virtualpostmail should stop charging you at the next renewal date. Nevertheless, billing errors occur. Monitor your account closely for at least two weeks after the cancellation effective date to ensure no further charges appear.
- Check your credit card or bank statement every two to three days.
- Look for any new charges in USD or foreign currency from Virtualpostmail or its payment processor.
- Note the exact amount, date, and transaction reference.
- If a charge appears after the cancellation date, do not contact Virtualpostmail first. Instead:
- Contact your bank's dispute department and report the charge as unauthorized.
- Provide your cancellation email and any confirmation from Virtualpostmail.
- Your bank can initiate a chargeback and recover the funds without waiting for the company to respond.
Refunds and what you can realistically expect
Virtualpostmail's refund policy depends on the timing and reason for cancellation. The company does not offer refunds for monthly subscriptions cancelled mid-cycle unless the service was defective or they breached the contract. Yafee advises you to clarify this in your cancellation email so there is no ambiguity.
When you might receive a refund
You can reasonably expect a refund in the following circumstances:
- You cancel within 14 days of signing up, under the Consumer Protection Act 1999 cooling-off period. The company should refund your full payment minus any services already provided.
- You cancel before the renewal date and the company's terms permit pro-rata refunds. (This is rare; most monthly subscriptions do not refund partial periods.)
- Virtualpostmail failed to deliver the service (e.g., they lost mail, did not scan documents, or account access was broken). In this case, you have a contract breach claim.
- You discover fraudulent or unauthorized charges. Your bank will issue a chargeback regardless of the company's stated policy.
When refunds are unlikely
If you cancel after the 14-day cooling-off period and the account is functioning normally, Virtualpostmail will likely apply the following logic:
- You have already received service (mail scans, account access) for the current billing period.
- Monthly subscriptions are not pro-rated; the fee covers the entire month, whether you use it for one day or thirty.
- Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current cycle, not immediately, unless the terms permit otherwise.
- Refund requests must be made in writing before the renewal date, not after a charge has already posted.
If the company refuses a refund and you believe you have grounds (service failure, unauthorized charge, breach of contract), you can escalate to the MDTCCL, which can order remediation. Yafee recommends you do not accept a flat refusal without written justification from Virtualpostmail.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation is not immediate. Your account winds down over a defined period, and you retain limited access until the process completes. Understanding the after-cancellation period prevents you from losing access to important documents or missing a final charge.
Account access after cancellation
Virtualpostmail typically allows you to download documents and retrieve information until the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, your login is disabled and the mailbox address is released. Any mail that arrives after cancellation is no longer yours; the company may forward it to you at additional cost, shred it, or return it to the sender.
Outstanding mail and forwarding charges
If you request physical mail be forwarded to Malaysia, Virtualpostmail charges a flat fee or per-item fee depending on weight and destination. Expect to pay between RM50 to RM300 for international forwarding, depending on volume and whether customs duties or import taxes apply. You do not pay this until you request it; if you do not provide a forwarding address, the mail is destroyed at no cost.
Final billing and payment
Your last charge posts on your renewal date. Virtualpostmail does not bill on cancellation; they bill on the next scheduled renewal, then stop. If you cancel on the 15th of the month and your renewal is the 20th, you will be charged once more on the 20th. No further charges occur after that date.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward if you follow the process, but small errors can lead to repeated charges or lost data. These mistakes are easily avoidable with deliberate attention.
Mistake 1: not confirming cancellation in writing
Calling or emailing without requesting written confirmation means you have no proof of the request. If the company denies they received it, you cannot prove otherwise. Always ask for written confirmation via email and keep the response.
Mistake 2: cancelling through only one channel if you used multiple sign-up methods
If you signed up via both the Virtualpostmail website and Apple billing, you must cancel both subscriptions separately. Cancelling only one leaves the other active, and you continue to be charged. Check all billing sources: credit card, Apple, Google, PayPal, or any other payment method you used.
Mistake 3: not downloading documents before the final billing date
Your login is disabled after the billing cycle ends. If you need a scanned document or historical mail record after that date, you must request it from customer support, and they may charge a fee or refuse. Download everything before you cancel.
Mistake 4: failing to update your address with other organizations
If banks, government agencies, or business partners still send mail to the Henderson address after you cancel, that mail goes nowhere or is returned. You miss important notifications and may incur late fees. Update your mailing address everywhere within one week of cancelling Virtualpostmail.
Mistake 5: not monitoring your bank statement after cancellation
Billing errors and delayed cancellations happen. If you do not check your statement for two weeks after the cancellation date, you may miss unauthorized charges and lose the right to dispute them under your bank's fraud protection rules. Set a calendar reminder to review your statement on the renewal date and one week after.

Virtualpostmail is mid-range in price but does not stand out on features. You might cancel if the service has been unreliable, if you no longer need a United States address, or if you have found a cheaper alternative with better support availability for your time zone.
