How to cancel Daily High Club in new zealand and understand your consumer rights
What Daily High Club is and how it operates
Daily High Club is a United States-based subscription box service that delivers curated smoking accessories, novelty items, and lifestyle products to customers worldwide, including New Zealand. The company operates on an automatic renewal model, meaning your subscription renews at regular intervals unless you actively cancel. Yafee has helped thousands of New Zealand consumers navigate international subscription cancellations, and this guide follows the same methodology to protect your interests.
How the subscription service works
Each month, Daily High Club ships you a themed box tailored to their membership model. You pay a recurring subscription fee in NZD, and the company processes your payment automatically on your billing cycle date. Your account portal allows you to track orders, view billing history, and manage subscription settings. The service operates from the United States but is legally bound by New Zealand consumer protection law when serving New Zealand customers, which is a critical distinction explained in detail later in this guide.
Why Daily High Club operates internationally
Daily High Club ships to New Zealand customers directly from their U.S. headquarters. Because the company accepts payment from New Zealand residents and delivers goods to your address, New Zealand consumer law applies to your relationship with them. This means the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986 protect you, even though the business operates overseas. Yafee emphasises this point because many consumers mistakenly assume international companies are exempt from local consumer protection.
Why you might want to cancel your Daily High Club subscription
Your decision to cancel is valid for any reason, and New Zealand law supports your right to exit the agreement.
Common reasons consumers cancel
- The monthly cost no longer fits your budget
- You are not satisfied with product quality or variety
- You have accumulated excess inventory from previous boxes
- You prefer to purchase items individually instead of in subscription bundles
- The company failed to deliver goods on time or in acceptable condition
- You have experienced service problems or unresponsive customer support
Whatever your reason, cancelling is straightforward once you understand the correct procedure. Acting quickly prevents unexpected charges on your next billing date. The sooner you submit your cancellation request, the sooner you can redirect that money to something that aligns better with your needs.
How to cancel Daily High Club in new zealand
You have several methods available to cancel your subscription, depending on how you originally signed up and your preferred communication channel.
Method one: cancel through your online account portal
This is the fastest and most direct cancellation route. You receive immediate confirmation and can verify the cancellation status in real time through your dashboard.
- Visit the Daily High Club website and log into your account using your registered email address and password
- If you cannot remember your password, click the "Forgot password" link on the login page
- Check your email inbox and spam folder for the password reset link, which may take a few minutes to arrive
- Navigate to your account settings or subscription management section, usually labelled "Manage Subscription", "Billing", "Account Settings", or "My Account"
- Locate the option to cancel, pause, or modify your subscription plan
- Read any confirmation message carefully before proceeding to the final cancellation step
- Note whether the company offers a pause option as an alternative to full cancellation
- Confirm your cancellation request by clicking the final confirmation button
- Take a screenshot of the confirmation page as proof of your cancellation request
- Check the confirmation message for your next scheduled billing date
- If a future billing date still appears in your account, your cancellation did not process successfully
- Repeat steps two through five if necessary
- Watch your email for a cancellation confirmation message from Daily High Club within 24 hours
- If you do not receive a confirmation email within two business days, proceed to Method Two
Method two: contact customer support via email
If the online portal does not work or you want a documented record of your cancellation request, contact Daily High Club's customer support team directly by email.
- Locate the customer support email address on the Daily High Club website, usually found in the "Contact Us" or "Help" section
- Draft a clear cancellation email that includes the following details:
- Your full name as it appears on your account
- Your registered email address and account number (if visible in your account settings)
- Your billing address
- A direct statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Daily High Club subscription, effective immediately"
- Today's date
- Send the email and request a read receipt or delivery confirmation
- Save a copy of your sent email for your records
- Monitor your inbox for a reply within three to five business days
- If the company does not respond, escalate your complaint to the Commerce Commission (explained in the "Your legal position" section below)
Method three: postal cancellation request
If online and email methods fail, you may send a written cancellation request by post. Daily High Club does not advertise a dedicated New Zealand postal address, so you must use their U.S. mailing address for all correspondence.
- Obtain Daily High Club's U.S. mailing address from their website or contact page
- Write a formal letter that includes your full name, email address, account number, billing address, and a clear statement requesting immediate cancellation
- Include the phrase "I request cancellation of my subscription effective immediately" to ensure clarity
- Send the letter by registered airmail with signature required, so you have proof of delivery
- Allow 20 to 30 business days for the company to receive and process your request (due to international transit time)
- Monitor your account and bank statements for any further charges after this period
- If charges continue after 30 days from mailing, escalate the matter to your bank and the Commerce Commission
Your legal position under new zealand consumer law
You have explicit legal protections when cancelling a subscription service, even with a U.S. company. The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986 apply to Daily High Club because the company accepts payment from New Zealand consumers and delivers goods to New Zealand addresses.
Your legal position: The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 requires that goods must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and delivered within a reasonable timeframe. If Daily High Club fails to meet these obligations, you can request a refund, replacement, or repair. Additionally, the Fair Trading Act 1986 prohibits misleading or deceptive conduct, including hidden cancellation terms or unresponsive customer service. If the company refuses to cancel your subscription without a valid legal reason, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission, New Zealand's primary consumer protection authority.
Cancellation rights under new zealand law
You have the right to cancel a subscription service if the company engages in misleading conduct about cancellation terms, fails to deliver goods as promised, or provides products that breach the Consumer Guarantees Act. You do not require a justification to cancel; your reason is irrelevant under consumer law. The company cannot impose unreasonable penalties, excessive notice periods, or hidden charges as a condition of cancellation.
What to do if Daily High Club refuses to cancel
If the company ignores your cancellation request or claims you cannot cancel, take the following steps. First, send a follow-up email or letter stating that you initiated a cancellation request on [date] and have not received confirmation. Request an immediate response within five business days. If the company still refuses, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission by visiting www.comcom.govt.nz. The Commission investigates breaches of the Fair Trading Act and Consumer Guarantees Act and can compel the company to cancel your subscription and refund unlawful charges.
What happens after you cancel your Daily High Club subscription
Understanding what to expect after cancellation prevents confusion and helps you monitor whether the company honours your request.
Timeline and billing after cancellation
Once your cancellation is confirmed, Daily High Club should immediately stop processing new shipments. Your final billing date depends on when you cancelled relative to your payment cycle. If you cancel mid-cycle, you remain subscribed until your next scheduled renewal date. You will not receive a refund for the current month unless you cancelled within a cooling-off period or the company failed to deliver promised goods.
Monitor your bank account closely for the next two billing cycles to confirm no additional charges appear. If a charge posts after your cancellation confirmation, contact your bank immediately and reference the Commerce Commission's complaint process. Yafee recommends setting a phone reminder for your original billing date so you can verify that no charge has been processed.
Keeping evidence of your cancellation
Save all cancellation correspondence, including screenshots of your online portal, confirmation emails, and copies of postal letters. These documents prove your cancellation request and are essential if a dispute arises. Store them in a folder on your computer or in the cloud so you can access them quickly if needed.
Refunds and credit after cancellation
Daily High Club does not typically issue refunds for cancelled subscriptions unless a legal basis exists under New Zealand law.
When you may be entitled to a refund
| Scenario |
Refund entitlement |
| Cancelled within a 14-day cooling-off period |
Likely entitled to full refund, unless service was already delivered |
| Company failed to deliver goods within a reasonable timeframe |

Common mistakes when cancelling Daily High Club
Most cancellations proceed smoothly when you follow the correct steps and documentation process. The following mistakes can delay or prevent your cancellation from being processed.
Mistake one: relying only on a pause instead of full cancellation
Some subscription services offer a "pause" option that temporarily stops shipments but keeps your account active and your payment method stored. If you intend to cancel permanently, do not use the pause option. Always select the cancellation or termination option explicitly, even if it is less prominent on the screen.
Mistake two: not saving cancellation confirmation details
If you cancel through the online portal and do not take a screenshot, you have no proof of your request if a dispute arises. Always save confirmation page screenshots, email confirmations, and dated copies of postal letters. This documentation protects you if the company claims it never received your cancellation request.
Mistake three: cancelling only through one method without follow-up
If you email your cancellation request and do not receive a reply within five business days, do not assume your request was processed. Send a follow-up email, request read receipt confirmation, or use the postal method as backup. Yafee recommends using multiple cancellation methods in sequence to ensure the company receives your request.
Mistake four: failing to verify cancellation before your next billing date
You must monitor your account and bank statements for at least two full billing cycles after submitting your cancellation request. If a charge posts after your cancellation confirmation, you have been charged in breach of consumer law. Contact your bank immediately and report the unauthorised charge to the Commerce Commission.
Mistake five: not escalating to the commerce commission when the company ignores you
If Daily High Club does not respond to your cancellation requests or continues charging you after cancellation, do not simply accept the situation. Lodge a formal complaint with the Commerce Commission at www.comcom.govt.nz. The Commission has legal authority to investigate, and the company faces penalties for ignoring consumer complaints.
When to keep your Daily High Club subscription
Cancellation is not always the best choice. Consider whether keeping your subscription aligns with your interests.
| Keep your subscription if |
Cancel your subscription if |
| You genuinely enjoy the products and value the curated selection |
The monthly cost strains your budget or you have not used recent boxes |
| You have not accumulated excess inventory and you actually use each box |
You prefer to purchase items individually at your own pace and choice |
| The price is reasonable relative to the retail value of items included |
Product quality has declined or variety no longer matches your interests |
| The company delivers on time and items arrive in acceptable condition |
You have experienced delivery delays, damaged items, or poor customer service |
| You have used customer discounts or loyalty rewards that justify the cost |
The company has engaged in misleading marketing or hidden fees |
| You are satisfied with customer support responsiveness and service quality |
Customer support is unresponsive, and the company ignores your complaints |
If you answered yes to most items in the "Keep" column, pausing your subscription for one or two months may be a better option than permanent cancellation. This allows you to reassess whether the service aligns with your needs without losing your account entirely.
Daily High Club does not publish a dedicated New Zealand postal address. Use the following channels to submit your cancellation request.
How to reach Daily High Club
Visit the Daily High Club website and locate the "Contact Us" page, which typically lists their customer support email address. This is your primary contact method for cancellation requests. If email contact details are not visible on the website, log into your account and check for a "Help" or "Support" option in the menu, which may provide additional contact methods or a submission form.
For postal correspondence, use Daily High Club's U.S. mailing address (listed on their website under "Contact" or "Fan Mail"). Write your cancellation letter clearly with all required details and send it by registered airmail with signature required. Allow 20 to 30 business days for international delivery and processing.
Escalation: commerce commission contact details
If Daily High Club does not honour your cancellation request or refuses to acknowledge your complaint, escalate to the Commerce Commission. Visit www.comcom.govt.nz or call 0800 943 600 to lodge a formal complaint. The Commission investigates breaches of the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 and Fair Trading Act 1986 and can compel the company to refund unauthorised charges.
Summary: your clear path to cancelling Daily High Club
Cancelling Daily High Club requires three key actions: submit a cancellation request using Method One (online portal), Method Two (email), or Method Three (postal), depending on what works best for your situation. Save all confirmation evidence and monitor your bank statements for two billing cycles to verify that charges have stopped. If the company ignores your request or continues charging you, lodge a complaint with the Commerce Commission, which has legal authority to enforce your consumer rights.
