Frequently asked questions
Cancel Factor: The Right Way to Protect Your Rights
How to cancel Factor in new zealand and protect your rights
What is Factor and is it available in new zealand
Factor is a meal delivery subscription service that sends pre-prepared, ready-to-heat meals to your door each week. The service targets busy professionals and health-conscious individuals who want nutritionist-designed meals without preparation time.
However, Factor operates exclusively across the contiguous United States and does not officially serve New Zealand. If you have signed up from New Zealand, you may encounter delivery complications, unclear billing practices, or difficulty accessing customer support. Yafee has helped thousands of New Zealand consumers navigate cancellations with international services that do not officially operate in their region, ensuring you understand your rights and take the correct procedural steps.
Why Factor does not service new zealand
Factor maintains no New Zealand office, phone number, or postal address. All customer support routes through US-based channels, and there is no published New Zealand-specific pricing in NZD or terms of service. If you have been charged in NZD or via a local payment method, you may be dealing with a third-party reseller or an unauthorized agent rather than Factor directly. This distinction matters legally when you pursue cancellation or refunds under New Zealand consumer law.
What Factor is designed for
Factor targets time-poor individuals in the United States who value convenience, portion control, and meals backed by nutritionist expertise. The service is not marketed to, nor officially supported in, New Zealand or the broader Asia-Pacific region, creating significant friction for New Zealand customers attempting to use or cancel the service.
Why you might want to cancel Factor
Your reasons for cancelling determine which consumer protections apply and what evidence you should gather before taking action.
Common reasons new zealand customers cancel
- Delivery delays or complete non-arrival of meals due to international shipping barriers
- Unexpected billing in NZD or duplicate charges arising from unclear payment arrangements
- Poor product quality or meals arriving spoiled due to extended transit times
- Inability to contact US-based support across New Zealand time zones
- Realisation that Factor does not officially service New Zealand and preference to switch to local alternatives
- Ongoing charges after attempting to cancel via email or the website
When cancellation becomes urgent
If Factor charges your account without delivering meals, or if support ignores your cancellation requests for more than 14 days, escalating to a consumer protection authority becomes necessary. You should document all payment confirmations, emails, and attempts to contact Factor before escalating. This evidence strengthens your position when you file a complaint with the Commerce Commission.
Your consumer rights in new zealand
New Zealand law protects you even when dealing with overseas service providers who accept NZD payments from your New Zealand address.
The consumer guarantees act and Factor
The Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA) 1993 is your strongest legal lever when Factor fails to deliver on its promises. The CGA requires any service provider, including overseas businesses accepting payments from New Zealand customers, to provide services with reasonable care and skill, within a reasonable timeframe, and exactly as described. This applies to Factor regardless of its US base.
You have grounds for remedies under the CGA if Factor:
- Fails to deliver meals you have paid for
- Sends spoiled or unsafe food
- Refuses to process a legitimate cancellation
- Continues charging after you have cancelled
Remedies under the CGA include a full refund, replacement service, or compensation for loss.
Your legal position
You hold enforceable rights under New Zealand law even though Factor is based overseas. The CGA applies to any service sold to a New Zealand consumer and paid for in NZD or from a New Zealand payment method. If Factor breaches these guarantees, you can pursue a complaint with the Commerce Commission, demand a refund directly from Factor, or seek legal advice from a consumer law specialist. The burden is on Factor to prove it delivered the service as described; you are not required to accept delayed or spoiled meals.
How to escalate if Factor refuses to help
If Factor's support team ignores your cancellation or refund requests for more than 14 days, contact the Commerce Commission (Te Komihana Tauhokohoko), New Zealand's official consumer protection authority. You can file a complaint at www.comcom.govt.nz or call 0800 943 600. The Commerce Commission can investigate whether Factor has breached the CGA and compel a refund if warranted. Document the date of every cancellation request and the dates Factor continued to charge you after each request.
Methods to cancel Factor from new zealand
Factor provides limited cancellation options for New Zealand customers, but each method has a different success rate and timeline.
Cancellation via your online account
This is the fastest method if Factor's website accepts your New Zealand address. Log into your Factor account, navigate to account settings or subscription management, and select the option to pause or cancel your subscription. Complete any required feedback form and confirm the cancellation. Note the cancellation confirmation number and the date. Factor should send a confirmation email; if you do not receive one within 2 hours, proceed to email cancellation (see below).
Cancellation via email
If the online method fails or you cannot access your account, email Factor's support team directly. Use the subject line "Cancellation Request: [Your Name] [Your Email Address]" and include your full name, email address, phone number, account creation date, and the reason for cancellation. Request a cancellation confirmation email within 48 hours. Send this email from the same email address associated with your Factor account. Factor's support team is based in the US and operates in US business hours (PST/EST), so expect responses within 24-48 hours. Keep a copy of your email and screenshot the timestamp; this evidence protects you if Factor later claims you never requested cancellation.
Cancellation via postal mail (US address)
If email and online methods fail, you may send a formal cancellation letter to Factor's US address. This method is slower but creates a dated paper trail. Write a brief letter including your name, account email, phone number, subscription details, and a clear statement: "I hereby cancel my Factor subscription effective immediately. Please confirm this cancellation in writing within 14 days and cease all charges to my payment method." Send this via registered mail to Factor's principal place of business (available on the Factor website under "Contact Us" or Terms of Service). Retain the postal receipt as proof of delivery. Inform your bank or payment provider in parallel (see below) to prevent further charges.
Step-by-step cancellation procedure
Follow these steps in order to cancel Factor and protect your refund rights under New Zealand consumer law.
Step 1: gather your account information
- Locate your Factor account email address and password
- Find your account creation date (check your first Factor email or invoice)
- Note the date and amount of your most recent charge
- Take screenshots of your account page showing subscription status and payment history
- Write down any meal preferences or delivery address you provided
Step 2: attempt cancellation via your online account
- Go to www.factor.com and log in with your credentials
- Navigate to "My Account" or "Subscription Settings"
- Select "Pause" or "Cancel Subscription"
- Complete any feedback form Factor displays (optional but useful for your records)
- Confirm the cancellation on the final screen
- Screenshot the confirmation page showing "Your subscription has been cancelled"
- Note the cancellation date and any confirmation number provided
- Check your email for a cancellation confirmation within 2 hours
Step 3: send a confirmation email if online cancellation does not generate proof
- Draft an email to Factor's support address with subject: "Cancellation Confirmation Request: [Your Name]"
- State: "I cancelled my Factor subscription on [date] via my online account. Please confirm receipt of this cancellation and the date it became effective."
- Include your account email, phone number, and the cancellation screenshot
- Send from the email address linked to your Factor account
- Save a copy in a dedicated folder for your records
- If no response arrives within 48 hours, proceed to Step 4
Step 4: request a formal cancellation via email (if online method failed)
- Compose a new email to [email protected] with subject: "Cancellation Request: [Your Name]"
- Include the following information:
- Full name and account email address
- Phone number (your NZ number is acceptable)
- Account creation date
- Date of most recent charge and amount
- Clear statement: "I request immediate cancellation of my Factor subscription. Please confirm this cancellation in writing and cease all charges to my payment method effective today."
- Reason for cancellation (e.g., "Service not available in New Zealand" or "Delivery failures")
- Send from your registered account email
- Set a calendar reminder to follow up if you do not receive a response within 48 hours
- Store the email timestamp and full conversation
Step 5: notify your payment provider to prevent further charges
- Contact your bank or credit card provider by phone (use the number on your card)
- Request to dispute any Factor charges that arrive after your cancellation date
- Ask your bank to revoke Factor's permission to charge your payment method
- Request a transaction history for all Factor charges in the past 12 months
- If charges recur after cancellation, report them as unauthorized and request a chargeback within 120 days of the disputed charge
- Keep all bank correspondence and dispute reference numbers
Step 6: escalate to the commerce commission if Factor refuses to cancel
- If Factor does not confirm cancellation within 14 days of your email request, prepare a complaint for the Commerce Commission
- Gather:
- Copies of all emails to Factor and their responses (or lack thereof)
- Screenshots of your online cancellation attempt (if made)
- Bank statements showing all Factor charges
- This written summary: dates of each cancellation attempt, amounts charged after each attempt, and Factor's failure to respond
- Visit www.comcom.govt.nz and select "Make a complaint"
- Complete the online complaint form, including your evidence
- Alternatively, call the Commerce Commission on 0800 943 600 (free from any NZ phone) and file over the phone
- Note your complaint reference number and keep it for all future correspondence
Pricing and payment information
Understanding Factor's pricing structure helps you verify charges and calculate your refund claim accurately.
| Plan | Meals per week | US pricing (USD) | NZD equivalent | Cancellation impact |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factor Lite | 4 meals | USD $59.99 | Approx. NZD $100 | Cancel anytime; current week charged |
| Factor Regular | 6 meals | USD $83.99 | Approx. NZD $140 | Cancel anytime; current week charged |
| Factor Plus | 8 meals | USD $99.99 | Approx. NZD $167 | Cancel anytime; current week charged |
| Factor Pro | 12 meals | USD $139.99 | Approx. NZD $234 | Cancel anytime; current week charged |
Note: Exchange rates fluctuate; your actual NZD charge depends on your bank's conversion rate at the time of payment. If you are charged significantly more than these estimates, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge.
Refunds and what to expect after cancellation
Your refund entitlements depend on whether you cancelled before or after the current week's meals shipped.
Refund timeline and eligibility
Factor typically does not refund the current week's charge, even if you cancel before meals ship. If you cancel on Monday and your meals ship on Thursday of the same week, that week is still charged. However, you are not charged for the following week. If meals arrive spoiled or damaged due to international shipping, you have a separate right to claim a refund under the Consumer Guarantees Act, regardless of when you cancelled. Yafee recommends submitting a separate refund claim if this applies to you.
How to claim a refund for non-delivery or spoiled meals
- Email Factor within 48 hours of discovering spoiled or missing meals, with photos
- Request either a replacement shipment or a full refund for that week
- If Factor refuses, file a complaint with the Commerce Commission citing the Consumer Guarantees Act
- Request your bank dispute the charge if no resolution arrives within 21 days
Preventing duplicate charges after cancellation
Some New Zealand customers report Factor continuing to charge after cancellation. If this occurs, immediately contact your bank and report the charge as unauthorized. Provide your bank with proof of your cancellation request (email, screenshot, or postal receipt). Request a chargeback for each unauthorized charge within 120 days of the charge date. Simultaneously, file a complaint with the Commerce Commission including evidence that you cancelled and Factor continued charging.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Factor
Most New Zealand customers successfully cancel Factor once they understand the correct procedure and act decisively. Here are the pitfalls to avoid.
Mistake 1: pausing instead of cancelling
Factor offers a "pause" option that temporarily stops deliveries but does not end your subscription. Pausing can last up to 12 weeks, after which Factor resumes charging. If you intend to cancel permanently, select "Cancel" not "Pause." Yafee advises confirming the word "cancelled" (not "paused") in your confirmation email.
Mistake 2: assuming cancellation is complete without written confirmation
Do not rely on a cancellation button click alone. Always request and retain a written confirmation email from Factor stating the cancellation date. This email is your proof if Factor later claims you never cancelled and continues to charge your account.
Mistake 3: not checking your bank statement after cancellation
Factor's automated billing sometimes fails to recognize cancellation, resulting in surprise charges weeks later. Review your bank statement two weeks after cancellation to confirm no new Factor charges appear. If a charge occurs after your cancellation date, dispute it immediately with your bank.
Mistake 4: waiting too long to escalate to the commerce commission
If Factor ignores your cancellation request for 14 days or longer, do not delay in filing a complaint with the Commerce Commission. The sooner you escalate, the sooner the Commerce Commission can compel a resolution. Delays weaken your evidence and extend the period during which Factor may continue unauthorized charges.
Mistake 5: providing insufficient detail in cancellation emails
Vague emails such as "Please cancel my subscription" are easier for Factor to ignore or misfile than detailed requests. Always include your account email, phone number, and explicit request: "I request immediate cancellation of my Factor subscription effective today." This clarity protects you legally if you later need to prove you cancelled.
After cancellation: what happens next
Once Factor confirms your cancellation, your obligations are clear and your next steps are straightforward. This section walks you through the post-cancellation period and your options if problems arise.
Immediate post-cancellation period (Days 1-7)
After Factor confirms cancellation, you should receive your final meal delivery within 3-7 days (depending on international shipping). Accept this delivery; you have already paid for it. If meals arrive spoiled or damaged, photograph the damage and contact Factor within 48 hours requesting a refund. Factor may offer a credit to your account; reject this and request a refund to your original payment method instead.
Checking for unauthorized charges (Days 8-14)
Review your bank or credit card statement 7-10 days after cancellation confirmation. Verify that no new Factor charges appear. If Factor charged you again, note the date, amount, and transaction ID. Contact your bank immediately and request a chargeback dispute, citing your cancellation evidence. Do not wait; you have 120 days from the charge date to dispute, but acting quickly strengthens your position.
If you are owed a refund for spoiled or undelivered meals
If your final shipment arrived spoiled, or if meals never arrived after your last charge, you have a separate claim under the Consumer Guarantees Act. Gather all evidence (photos, emails, bank statements) and file a refund claim with Factor. If Factor refuses or ignores your claim within 21 days, file a complaint with the Commerce Commission. Cite the CGA breach and request a full refund for that week's charge.
Switching to a new zealand meal delivery alternative
After cancelling Factor, you may wish to switch to a locally-based meal delivery service that supports New Zealand customers natively. Local alternatives include services that deliver from New Zealand warehouses, offer NZD pricing, and provide customer support during NZ business hours. This eliminates the friction and consumer protection gaps you experienced with Factor.

Why customers choose to cancel Factor
Understanding why other New Zealand customers cancel helps you decide if cancellation is right for your situation and strengthens your case if you escalate to the Commerce Commission.
Service availability and delivery issues
Factor does not officially deliver to New Zealand, making delivery unpredictable and support unresponsive to local concerns. Many customers find meals arrive damaged or spoiled after the long international transit time, or do not arrive at all. The lack of a New Zealand support line means delays in resolving issues.
Pricing and billing frustration
New Zealand customers often report confusion around NZD pricing, unfavorable exchange rates applied by their banks, and unexpected additional charges for import duties or customs clearance. Some third-party resellers have charged markups above Factor's official US pricing without clarity.
Preference for local alternatives
Many New Zealand customers cancel Factor to switch to locally-based meal services that ship from New Zealand, offer native customer support, and provide transparent NZD pricing. These services also fall squarely under New Zealand consumer law, removing legal ambiguity.
