Cancel I Can Read Book Club: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel i Can Read Book Club in the philippines: a legal guide for filipino parents
What i Can Read Book Club is and why it matters for your family
I Can Read Book Club is a monthly children's reading subscription managed by HarperCollins Book Clubs. The service delivers curated books tailored to different reading levels-from early pre-readers through independent readers. Your child receives monthly shipments designed to build reading confidence and literacy skills.
The critical fact for Filipino subscribers: I Can Read Book Club operates entirely from the United States, with customer service and billing processed through US-based systems. When you subscribe from the Philippines, you enter a US-administered contract governed by their terms, yet your consumer rights remain protected under Philippine law. This creates a dual legal framework you must understand to cancel effectively.
Yafee recognizes that international subscription services create confusion for Filipino families. Many parents do not realize their cancellation options or believe they must navigate complex US-based processes. In reality, you have clear legal remedies under Philippine consumer law, and Yafee exists to walk you through them.
How i Can Read Book Club charges philippine subscribers
The service operates on automatic monthly billing. Your payment card is charged each month until you actively cancel. Charges continue even during periods you do not use the service. The company offers subscription tiers based on your child's reading level:
| Reading level tier | Monthly cost (USD) | Approximate PHP | Content type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Earliest Readers | $15.00 | ₱825-900 | Pre-reader and beginner books |
| Emerging Readers | $15.00 | ₱825-900 | Early independent reader books |
| Established Readers | $10.00 | ₱550-600 | Confident independent reader books |
| Full-access subscription | $25.00 | ₱1,375-1,500 | Multiple tiers plus bonuses |
| Free trial period | Free (limited time) | Free | Full tier access |
| Trial conversion charge | Charged at tier rate | ₱550-1,500 | Automatic if not cancelled |
Pay close attention to free trial terms. If you accept a trial offer, the company converts it to a paid subscription automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Most Filipino subscribers experience surprise charges because they miss this deadline. Yafee advises you to mark your trial end date in your calendar immediately.
Why filipino parents find cancellation difficult
I Can Read Book Club publishes no Philippines-specific cancellation process. Customer support operates from US time zones (typically Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Singapore Standard Time, which translates to 1:00 AM to 2:00 PM Philippine Standard Time). Email responses routinely take 24-48 hours due to the geographic distance.
Because support is scattered and no clear local cancellation method exists, many parents abandon their accounts rather than attempt to contact the company. Charges then accumulate over months. This is precisely the unfair practice that Philippine consumer law prohibits.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
Your legal protections apply to I Can Read Book Club even though it is a US company.
What the consumer act of the philippines guarantees you
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) extends full protection to Philippine consumers purchasing digital subscriptions from foreign companies. Under this law, you have the right to:
- Cancel any subscription without unreasonable penalty or complex procedures
- Receive clear, truthful disclosure of automatic renewal terms before you pay
- Demand a refund if the service fails to deliver what was promised
- Report unfair billing practices to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI)
- Access simple, direct cancellation methods in your chosen language
The law applies because you are a Philippine consumer making a purchase within Philippine territory, regardless of where the company is located. I Can Read Book Club cannot hide behind its US headquarters to avoid Philippine consumer protections.
Your legal position when cancelling
You are entitled to cancel without providing a reason. The company cannot require you to remain subscribed through a "minimum term" if that term was not explicitly agreed to in writing before your first charge. If you cancel during a free trial, no charge should appear on your account. If a charge appears after you submit a cancellation request, you have the right to demand a refund and file a complaint with the DTI. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers in your situation assert these rights and recover unauthorized charges.
When to cancel i Can Read Book Club
Assess your circumstances honestly before deciding to cancel.
Reasons parents cancel
- Your child has outgrown the reading level offered by the tier you subscribed to
- Books arrive damaged or late, and the company does not resolve the issue quickly
- Your household budget no longer allows for the monthly expense
- The free trial converted to a paid subscription without clear notification
- Your child has lost interest in reading, and the subscription no longer serves its purpose
- Shipping delays from the US to the Philippines exceed acceptable timeframes
- You prefer to purchase books locally at a lower cost
Reasons parents keep their subscriptions
- Your child shows measurable progress in reading confidence and speed
- The age-appropriate book selection saves you hours of research and purchasing
- Monthly shipments create a consistent reading routine in your household
- The cost remains manageable within your monthly expenses
- Your child looks forward to receiving the box each month as a special treat

Timeline and what to expect after you cancel
Cancellation does not end immediately in all cases.
Your access period after cancellation
If you cancel before your next billing date, you typically retain access to your subscription through the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if your next charge date is October 15 and you cancel on October 1, you may keep your access until October 14. After that date, your login credentials may stop working. The company will clarify this in your cancellation confirmation.
Processing time for refunds
If I Can Read Book Club approves a refund (for example, if you cancelled during a free trial but were charged), the refund typically appears in your bank account within 5-10 business days. International refunds may take longer due to banking processing. Yafee recommends that you check your statement 10-15 days after the company approves a refund to confirm receipt.
Removal from mailing lists
After cancellation, the company should remove your email address from promotional mailing lists. If you continue to receive marketing emails 14 days after your cancellation, reply with "UNSUBSCRIBE" or report the email as spam to your email provider.
Common mistakes parents make when cancelling
You can cancel successfully if you avoid these traps.
Mistake 1: cancelling by phone without written confirmation
If you call customer service to cancel, insist on receiving written confirmation by email. Verbal cancellations are difficult to prove if the company later claims they never received your request. Always follow up a phone call with an email stating: "This confirms my cancellation request made by phone on [date] at [time], with representative [name if provided]."
Mistake 2: assuming your cancellation is complete without confirmation
Do not assume cancellation is done until you receive written confirmation. Many subscribers submit cancellation requests and then discover they were charged again the following month. Yafee advises you to check your account 2-3 days before your next billing date to confirm your subscription is no longer active.
Mistake 3: missing the free trial deadline
If you accepted a free trial, mark the trial end date on your calendar and set a phone reminder for 24 hours before that date. The company will charge you automatically if you do not cancel during this window. This charge is legal under the terms you accepted, but it is preventable with proper planning.
Mistake 4: deleting cancellation confirmation emails
Keep all cancellation-related emails in a dedicated folder. If a dispute arises weeks or months later, these emails are your proof that you cancelled. Do not delete them for at least one year after cancellation.
Mistake 5: attempting to cancel by stopping payment without notifying the company
Simply blocking the charge without informing I Can Read Book Club is not cancellation. The company may flag your account as delinquent and pass your debt to a collection agency. Always submit a formal cancellation request before taking any payment action.
Refund eligibility and recovery options
You may be entitled to a refund under specific circumstances.
Scenarios where you can request a refund
- You were charged during a free trial period despite cancelling before the trial ended
- You cancelled your subscription but were charged again in the following month
- Books were damaged, lost in transit, or never arrived, and the company refused to resolve the issue
- The service was unavailable for an extended period (more than 7 days), preventing you from accessing purchased content
- The company misrepresented the content or reading level of the books shipped to you
How to request a refund
- Email the customer service team with a refund request, including:
- The reason for your refund request (charge after cancellation, damaged goods, service failure)
- The amount you seek to recover
- Proof: screenshots of your account, cancellation confirmation, damaged book photos, or payment records
- A request for the refund to be processed to your original payment method
- The company should respond within 10 business days with approval or denial
- If denied, escalate the issue:
- Request a detailed explanation in writing
- If the denial appears unjust under Philippine consumer law, file a complaint with the DTI
Frequently disputed issues and how to resolve them
These situations generate the most complaints from Philippine subscribers.
Slow shipping and delivery failures
Books shipped from the United States to the Philippines typically take 2-4 weeks to arrive. I Can Read Book Club is not legally responsible for postal delays beyond its control. However, if your books do not arrive within 6 weeks of shipment, contact the company and ask for: a) A tracking number so you can investigate the shipment with the carrier, or b) A replacement shipment or refund for that month's subscription. Keep the company's response in writing.
Damaged or incorrect books
If your shipment arrives with damaged books or incorrect titles, photograph the damage clearly and email the company within 5 days of receipt. Request a replacement shipment or credit toward your next month's fee. The company should respond within 10 business days. If it does not, Yafee recommends filing a complaint with the DTI.
Automatic renewal after trial despite cancellation
This is the most common issue. If you cancelled your free trial but were still charged, this is an unfair practice under the Consumer Act of the Philippines. Submit a refund request immediately, referencing your cancellation confirmation. If the company denies the refund, dispute the charge with your bank and file a DTI complaint. You are legally entitled to recover this charge.

Next steps: protect yourself going forward
After you cancel I Can Read Book Club, apply these practices to avoid similar issues.
Create a cancellation checklist for future subscriptions
- Before you subscribe to any service, take a screenshot of the terms and cancellation policy
- Mark trial end dates in your phone calendar with a reminder set for 24 hours before expiry
- Save all confirmation and cancellation emails in a dedicated folder labeled "Subscriptions"
- Check your payment method statement 2-3 days before your next billing date to confirm the subscription is still active or has been cancelled
Monitor your payment methods regularly
Set a monthly reminder to review charges from all subscriptions. Many unauthorized charges go unnoticed for months because parents focus on essentials and overlook recurring payments. Yafee helps thousands of consumers recover money lost to forgotten subscriptions and charges after cancellation.
Know your escalation route
If any company refuses to honour your cancellation request or refund, file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry. The DTI is your enforcement authority under the Consumer Act of the Philippines. Filing a complaint costs nothing and typically results in a resolution within 30-60 days.
