Frequently asked questions
Cancel Ipsy: The Right Way to Protect Your Budget
How to cancel Ipsy in new zealand and protect your beauty budget
What is Ipsy and why new zealand customers subscribe
Ipsy is a United States-based subscription service that delivers five curated beauty and skincare products to your door each month. You complete an online style quiz, and Ipsy's algorithm selects items matched to your preferences, skin type, and beauty goals. For New Zealand customers, Ipsy offers an affordable entry point into premium product discovery-but international shipping, exchange rate volatility, and automatic renewal cycles mean cancellation clarity is essential. At Yafee, we help you understand your rights and execute a clean exit.
How Ipsy operates
You create an account, answer detailed beauty-preference questions, and Ipsy ships a curated "bag" on your chosen billing cycle-typically monthly. The service runs entirely online through their website and mobile app. Your membership renews automatically on the same date each cycle unless you actively cancel before the renewal deadline. This model works brilliantly if you love discovery and surprise; it becomes frustrating if your preferences change, your budget tightens, or products accumulate unused.
Pricing structure in new zealand dollars
Ipsy displays all prices in United States dollars on their website. When you are charged in New Zealand dollars, you pay the USD amount converted at your bank's exchange rate, plus any international transaction fees your card issuer applies. This means your actual cost varies week to week depending on currency fluctuations.
| Plan | Price (USD) | Frequency | What you receive | Approx. NZD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ipsy Original | US$14.00 | Monthly | 5 deluxe-size samples | NZ$24 |
| Ipsy Extra | US$32.00 | Monthly | 5 full-size products | NZ$54 |
| Ipsy Ultimate | US$65.00 | Quarterly | 8 full-size products per shipment | NZ$110 |
At current exchange rates (approximately 1.65 to 1.75 NZD per USD), the Original plan costs around NZ$23-24, Extra costs around NZ$53-56, and Ultimate costs around NZ$107-114 per cycle. Add international shipping and any processing fees, and your total spend may be 15-25 percent higher than the base advertised price.
When you should cancel Ipsy
Clear signs indicate when it is time to stop your subscription and redirect your money elsewhere.
Signs that cancellation makes sense
You are spending money on products you do not use. Your skincare routine is locked in, and surprises no longer excite you. You realize the exchange rate volatility makes monthly budgeting impossible. You signed up for a trial and forgot to cancel before being charged. Products pile up in your bathroom unused. You find better value elsewhere. Any of these scenarios signal it is time to act decisively. Lingering subscriptions drain your account month after month, and Yafee encourages you to exit when the service no longer serves your needs.
Three steps to take before you cancel
Before you initiate cancellation, gather information to protect yourself.
- Review your account to confirm your next billing date.
- Log in to your Ipsy account and navigate to "Membership" or "Account Settings."
- Note the exact date your next charge is scheduled.
- Check if you have any remaining prepaid months or credits.
- Look for a balance or credits section in your account dashboard.
- If you purchased an annual or quarterly plan upfront, cancellation may forfeit remaining months depending on Ipsy's terms.
- Take a screenshot of your membership details in case you need to dispute a charge later.
- Capture your plan type, billing date, payment method, and any promotional details.
- Save the screenshot to your device or cloud storage.
These simple steps protect you if Ipsy's system fails to process your cancellation or if a charge appears after you have requested removal.
Your consumer rights under new zealand law
New Zealand consumer law grants you strong protections when cancelling overseas subscriptions, even when Ipsy is based in the United States.
The consumer guarantees act and subscription services
The Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 (CGA) is the primary legislation protecting your rights. Under the CGA, goods or services supplied to you must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and safe. When Ipsy delivers products that fail to meet these standards-or when you are charged without receiving service-you have the right to cancel, claim a refund, or pursue remedies through formal dispute channels.
Furthermore, the CGA applies even though Ipsy is offshore. If Ipsy breaches its obligations (for example, by continuing to charge you after you have requested cancellation), the Commerce Commission-New Zealand's consumer protection authority-can investigate and enforce sanctions.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel Ipsy at any time by following the company's official cancellation process. If Ipsy refuses to cancel or continues charging after your cancellation request, you can file a complaint with the Commerce Commission or dispute the transaction with your bank. Under the CGA, you may also claim compensation if Ipsy has supplied faulty products or failed to deliver promised services. You do not need to provide a reason to cancel. If Ipsy has taken payment for a future period after you cancel (a common error), you are entitled to a refund for unused service.
How to cancel Ipsy: step-by-step guide for new zealand
Cancellation via the Ipsy website is the most reliable method and takes fewer than five minutes from login to confirmation.
Cancelling through the Ipsy website
- Open your web browser and navigate to ipsy.com.
- Log in using your registered email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot password?" and follow the reset email sent to your inbox.
- If you use two-factor authentication, you will be prompted to enter a verification code.
- Click your account icon or profile name in the top-right corner and select "Account" from the dropdown menu.
- Navigate to the "Membership" or "Subscriptions" section-the exact label varies by account type.
- Look for a button or link labeled "Cancel Membership," "Pause Subscription," or "Manage Subscription."
- Click the cancellation button and follow the on-screen prompts.
- Ipsy may ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation (this is optional feedback; your cancellation is not conditional on answering).
- You may see a retention offer (discount or free product). Decline this if you are certain you want to exit.
- Confirm your cancellation by clicking the final "Confirm Cancellation" or "Proceed" button.
- You will receive an on-screen confirmation message and a confirmation email sent to your registered email address.
- Retain this email as proof of cancellation.
- Check that the confirmation states your membership ends on a specific date (typically your next billing date or immediately, depending on Ipsy's policy).
Cancelling via the Ipsy mobile app
If you prefer to cancel on your phone, the mobile app provides the same functionality as the website.
- Open the Ipsy app on your mobile device and log in.
- Tap the account or profile icon (usually in the bottom-right or top-left corner).
- Select "Account Settings" or "Membership."
- Tap "Cancel Membership" or "Manage Subscription."
- Follow the on-screen prompts and confirm your cancellation.
- Capture a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation for your records.
Contacting Ipsy customer support
If the website and app cancellation options are unavailable or you encounter technical errors, contact Ipsy's support team directly.
- Visit the Ipsy help centre at help.ipsy.com or use the "Contact Us" link on their website.
- Select your issue category-typically "Membership" or "Billing."
- Compose a support request stating: "I wish to cancel my Ipsy membership effective immediately" and include your account email address.
- Be clear and specific. Avoid vague language like "I'm thinking about cancelling."
- Request written confirmation of your cancellation in the support reply.
- Send your request and await a response (typically within 24-48 hours).
- Ipsy will reply with a confirmation email. Forward this to yourself and retain it permanently.
- If you do not receive confirmation within 48 hours, follow up with a second message and reference your original ticket number.
What happens after you cancel Ipsy
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline prevents confusion and protects you from unexpected charges.
Immediate effects of cancellation
Once you confirm your cancellation request, Ipsy stops processing future shipments and will not charge you again. However, if your cancellation takes effect on your next billing date (rather than immediately), you may receive one final box before your subscription fully stops. Check your confirmation email for the exact end date. Your account remains accessible for 30-90 days after cancellation, allowing you to access your purchase history, product reviews, and style profile if you decide to resubscribe later.
Refund timeline and process
If Ipsy has already charged you for a month you will not receive, you are entitled to a refund. Refunds are processed to your original payment method within 5-10 business days, though your bank may take an additional 2-5 business days to display the credit in your account. If you do not see a refund within 14 days, contact Ipsy support with your confirmation email and ask for a refund status update. Keep your cancellation confirmation and any refund confirmation emails-you will need these if you must escalate to your bank or the Commerce Commission.
Refund eligibility and timelines
Your refund entitlement depends on when you cancel relative to your next billing cycle.
When you are eligible for a refund
You are entitled to a refund if Ipsy charges you after you have submitted a cancellation request, provided you cancelled before the transaction posted. You are also eligible for a refund if you cancel within your billing cycle but before your next shipment has been processed. If you cancel after your box has shipped, a refund is unlikely unless the product fails to arrive or arrives damaged. Refunds for unused prepaid months (such as annual plans) depend on Ipsy's refund policy and may be subject to a restocking fee or partial deduction-review their terms carefully before cancelling a prepaid plan.
Disputing an unauthorized charge
If Ipsy continues to charge you after cancellation, you have two escalation routes. First, contact Ipsy support immediately with your cancellation confirmation and demand a refund within 10 days. Second, if Ipsy does not respond or refuses to refund, contact your bank or credit card company and dispute the charge as unauthorized. Your bank will initiate a chargeback investigation, and Ipsy will be required to provide evidence that you authorized the charge. In almost all cases, the bank will reverse the charge in your favour. Document every communication with Ipsy-emails, screenshots, and support ticket numbers-before pursuing a bank dispute.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward, but small errors can leave your account active and trigger unwanted charges-so take care at each step.
Mistake 1: pausing instead of cancelling
Ipsy offers a "Pause" option that temporarily stops shipments without ending your membership. Many users accidentally click "Pause" thinking it cancels their account. Paused accounts remain active and will resume after the pause period ends, then charge you automatically. Always select "Cancel" explicitly, not "Pause." Check your confirmation email to ensure it states "cancelled," not "paused."
Mistake 2: cancelling on the wrong date
If you cancel after your next billing date has passed but before your shipment has been dispatched, you will still receive that final box and will not receive a refund for it. To avoid this, cancel at least 2-3 days before your next billing date. Check your next billing date in your account settings before submitting your cancellation request.
Mistake 3: not retaining confirmation
Ipsy's system occasionally loses records of cancellation requests, or emails get caught in spam filters. If you do not retain proof of your cancellation, you have no way to dispute a charge that appears weeks or months later. Save your confirmation email, take a screenshot of your account showing "Membership Cancelled," and store both in a folder labelled "Ipsy Cancellation." This documentation is invaluable if you must file a dispute with the Commerce Commission or your bank.
Mistake 4: deleting your account before confirming cancellation
Some users delete their account immediately after cancelling, assuming deletion finalizes the cancellation. Account deletion and subscription cancellation are separate actions. Deleting your account does not stop charges-in fact, it may prevent Ipsy from contacting you if there is a billing issue. Cancel your subscription first, confirm the cancellation via email, then delete your account 7 days later if you wish.

| Scenario | Keep Ipsy | Cancel Ipsy |

| You budget carefully and currency swings cause stress | No | Yes-cancel now |

Contact information and escalation addresses
If Ipsy fails to cancel your subscription or process a refund after you have followed the steps in this guide, escalate through these official channels.
Ipsy support contact details
Ipsy does not list a New Zealand-specific postal address on their website. All correspondence must be conducted through their online support portal or email. Visit help.ipsy.com, select "Contact Us," and submit your cancellation dispute or refund request. Include your account email address, the date you cancelled, and your cancellation confirmation number. Request a written response within 10 business days.
Escalation to the commerce commission
If Ipsy does not respond or refuses your refund within 14 days of your request, file a complaint with the Commerce Commission-New Zealand's official consumer protection authority. You can lodge a complaint at comcom.govt.nz or by phoning 0800 943 600. Provide the Commission with your cancellation confirmation email, bank statements showing charges after cancellation, and copies of all communications with Ipsy support. The Commission will investigate and can compel Ipsy to refund you and pay penalties if the company has breached consumer law.
Bank chargeback as a final resort
If the Commerce Commission's investigation is slow or you need an urgent refund, contact your bank and request a chargeback for unauthorized charges. Provide your bank with evidence that you cancelled before the disputed charge was processed. Your bank will investigate within 30 days and will almost always rule in your favour. The chargeback does not prevent you from also pursuing a complaint with the Commerce Commission-you can use both remedies in parallel.
Cancelling Ipsy in New Zealand is straightforward when you follow the official process and retain proof of your request. However, if you face resistance, Yafee at yafee.com provides additional dispute templates, sample letters to support services, and step-by-step guidance for escalating to the Commerce Commission or your bank. Yafee has helped thousands of New Zealand consumers reclaim refunds, stop unauthorized charges, and exit subscriptions with confidence. Take action today, follow the steps outlined above, and protect your beauty budget.
