Frequently asked questions
Cancel Kiwico: The Right Way
How to cancel Kiwico in the philippines and stop unwanted charges
Why you might want to cancel Kiwico
Kiwico is a subscription service that delivers monthly or quarterly themed craft and STEM project kits to children aged newborn through 16 and older. Each crate includes hands-on activities, puzzles, and educational materials designed to stimulate creative thinking. The service operates on a subscription model, which means you commit to regular deliveries at a fixed schedule rather than purchasing individual items.
If you subscribed and now find the service no longer suits your child's interests, your budget, or your home circumstances, you have the right to cancel under Philippine consumer protection law. Yafee specialists understand that cancellation confusion often prevents subscribers from stopping charges on time, leaving them locked into unwanted recurring payments.
Understanding kiwico's subscription types
Kiwico operates two distinct subscription models in the Philippines: auto-renewing plans and fixed-term plans. Auto-renewing subscriptions charge your payment method automatically every billing cycle unless you actively cancel. Fixed-term subscriptions expire after a set number of months (1, 3, 6, 12, 24, or 36) and do not automatically renew. Your cancellation strategy depends entirely on which type you hold.
Why cancellation delays happen for filipino subscribers
Kiwico operates from the United States, with customer support hours aligned to Pacific Time. This creates a significant time zone gap that slows email responses when you contact Filipino support channels. Additionally, pricing displays in US dollars without automatic conversion to Philippine pesos, and Kiwico does not maintain a dedicated local support team for subscribers in your country. These operational gaps make the cancellation process feel unnecessarily complex, though it becomes straightforward once you follow the exact procedure that Yafee outlines below.
Kiwico plan types and pricing in the philippines
Your cancellation path depends on which subscription plan you purchased and how much time remains on your commitment.
| Plan type | Renewal behavior | Typical price range (PHP) | Cancellation path |
|---|---|---|---|
| Auto-renewing monthly | Renews monthly unless canceled | ₱1,800-2,200 per month | Cancel anytime after first crate ships |
| Auto-renewing 6-month | Renews every 6 months | ₱3,200-3,700 per term | Cancel anytime after first crate ships |
| Fixed-term 12-month | Expires after 12 months; no renewal | ₱13,275-15,000 (6 crates) | Cannot cancel; plan expires automatically |
| Fixed-term 24-month | Expires after 24 months; no renewal | ₱24,000-28,000 (12 crates) | Cannot cancel; plan expires automatically |
| One-time purchase | No recurring charge | ₱1,500-2,500 per single crate | Not applicable |
If you hold a fixed-term plan, cancellation is not possible mid-term under Kiwico's standard terms. However, Yafee recommends contacting Kiwico support to request a refund if you can demonstrate a material breach of service or fraudulent charge. Auto-renewing subscribers, by contrast, can cancel immediately and stop future charges within days.
Your consumer rights under philippine law
The Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394) grants you the explicit right to cancel any subscription service after you receive the first delivery. Furthermore, under the law, companies must process cancellations within a reasonable timeframe (typically 5-10 business days) and must cease charging your account immediately upon receipt of your cancellation request.
Your legal position
You have the right to cancel an auto-renewing Kiwico subscription at any time without penalty, once the first crate has arrived at your address. Kiwico must stop all future charges from the date you submit your cancellation request. If the company continues to charge you after you cancel, you may lodge a formal complaint with the National Bureau of Consumer Protection (NBCP), a division of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). The DTI has enforcement power to order refunds and impose penalties on companies that violate cancellation rights.
Protection against unauthorized repeat charges
If Kiwico charges your card after you cancel, the Consumer Act allows you to dispute the charge through your bank or credit card issuer. In the Philippines, this process is handled by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) under its Consumer Protection Guidelines. Document every cancellation email, screenshot your account status before and after cancellation, and retain all transaction records. These documents are essential if you must escalate a dispute to your bank or to the DTI.
How to cancel Kiwico: step-by-step procedure
Follow this exact process to cancel your subscription and prevent unwanted charges.
Step 1: log into your Kiwico account
- Visit www.kiwico.com and click Sign In in the top navigation menu.
- Enter the email address and password you used to create your account.
- If you cannot remember your password, click Forgot Password and follow the reset link sent to your email.
- Once logged in, you will land on your account dashboard. Take a screenshot of this page showing your current subscription status, plan type, and next billing date. Save this screenshot on your device as evidence of your subscription before cancellation.
Step 2: access your subscription settings
- From your account dashboard, locate and click Subscription or Manage Subscription (usually in the left menu or under Account Settings).
- A page will display your active subscription details, including the crate line, billing cycle, next charge date, and payment method on file.
- Take a second screenshot showing these details. This step confirms which plan type you hold (auto-renewing or fixed-term) and when your next charge is scheduled.
Step 3: initiate cancellation in the account portal
- On the subscription management page, look for a button or link labeled Cancel Subscription, Pause Subscription, or Manage Plan.
- Click this button. Kiwico will present you with options to pause, modify, or cancel. Select Cancel or End Subscription.
- The system may ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation and may offer a discount or pause option to retain you as a customer. If you wish to cancel, decline any retention offers and proceed to final confirmation.
- Once you confirm cancellation, Kiwico will display a confirmation message on screen and send a cancellation confirmation email to your registered email address within minutes.
- Take a screenshot of the on-screen confirmation message. Forward the confirmation email to yourself or print it, as proof that you initiated cancellation on the date shown in the email header.
Step 4: verify cancellation status 48 hours later
- Log back into your Kiwico account two business days after you submitted your cancellation request.
- Navigate to your subscription settings again.
- Confirm that the subscription status now shows Canceled, Inactive, or Scheduled to End, rather than Active. If it still shows Active and a future charge date, your cancellation did not process. See the Troubleshooting section below.
- Take a final screenshot showing the canceled status. This forms your paper trail if a dispute arises.
Step 5: confirm your payment method was removed (optional but recommended)
- From your account dashboard, click Payment Methods or Billing Information.
- Verify that your credit card or payment method is no longer marked as the primary billing method, or that it has been removed entirely from the account.
- This extra step ensures that even if a system glitch occurs, Kiwico cannot charge you again because your payment method is no longer linked to the account.
What happens after you cancel
After you cancel your Kiwico subscription, the following timeline applies.
Immediately after cancellation
Your account status changes to Canceled or Inactive. Kiwico will not process any new charges to your payment method from that moment forward. If a crate is already in transit and scheduled for delivery within 48 hours of your cancellation request, you may still receive that final crate, as fulfillment and shipping occur in parallel with billing systems. Once it arrives, you may refuse delivery or contact Kiwico customer service at [email protected] to request a return and refund for that final unwanted crate.
Within 5 to 10 business days
Kiwico processes the cancellation through its billing system. During this window, the company confirms the cancellation with its payment processor and removes your account from its recurring billing schedule. You will not be charged during this period. However, if you subscribed through a promotional offer or had a pending charge scheduled for the same day you canceled, Kiwico may still process that single charge before your account is removed from the recurring schedule. If this happens, contact Kiwico immediately to request a refund, as charges after cancellation confirmation constitute a breach of the Consumer Act.
After 10 business days
Your cancellation is permanent. Kiwico will not bill your account again unless you explicitly re-subscribe. Monitor your bank and credit card statements for the next two to three billing cycles to confirm that no additional charges appear. If an unexpected charge does appear, escalate immediately via your bank's dispute process and file a complaint with the National Bureau of Consumer Protection.
Refunds and what you are entitled to
Your refund entitlement depends on your plan type and how much time has elapsed since your last charge.
Auto-renewing monthly subscriptions
If you cancel before your next scheduled charge date, you are not entitled to a refund for the current billing period, as you have already received the crate for that period. Kiwico will simply stop charging you on the next scheduled date. However, if you cancel after Kiwico has charged your account for a future month (i.e., you were charged but the crate has not shipped yet), you may request a refund for that future charge by contacting [email protected] with your cancellation confirmation email attached.
Fixed-term subscriptions
Fixed-term plans typically do not allow mid-term cancellation or refunds under Kiwico's standard terms. However, if you can demonstrate that Kiwico failed to deliver crates on the promised schedule, delivered damaged materials, or charged you more than the agreed price, you may request a partial refund. Furthermore, if Kiwico processed unauthorized charges after you contacted the company to cancel, the Consumer Act entitles you to a full refund of those unlawful charges. Contact Kiwico support with evidence of your cancellation request and the unauthorized charges.
How to request a refund
- Send an email to [email protected] with the subject line: Refund Request for [Your Email Address] and [Order Number].
- In the body, state the date you canceled, the date you were charged (if applicable), and the amount you are requesting back. Attach your cancellation confirmation email and screenshots of the unauthorized charge on your bank statement.
- Kiwico typically responds within 5 business days with a refund decision. If approved, the refund is issued to your original payment method within 7 to 14 business days.
- If Kiwico refuses your refund request, file a formal complaint with the National Bureau of Consumer Protection via the DTI hotline (02) 751-8000 or online at dti.gov.ph.
Common mistakes that delay cancellation
Cancellation is straightforward once you know the process, but small errors can delay the final confirmation by weeks. Avoid these pitfalls.
Mistake 1: relying on customer service email alone without account confirmation
Sending a cancellation request via email to [email protected] is valid, but email support is slow due to time zone differences and high ticket volume. Furthermore, if support staff make an error logging your request, you have no proof in your account that cancellation was initiated. Always cancel through your online account portal first, and use email only to follow up if the portal cancellation fails or to request a refund. This gives you a timestamped record in your account that a court, your bank, or the DTI can verify.
Mistake 2: assuming cancellation is complete after one confirmation email
Kiwico sends an immediate confirmation email when you submit cancellation through the portal, but this email confirms only that your request was received, not that it was processed. Log back into your account after 48 hours to verify that your subscription status has changed to Canceled. If it still shows Active, your cancellation did not fully process and you must contact support with screenshots of both the confirmation email and the active subscription status.
Mistake 3: forgetting to check for in-transit crates
If you cancel close to your shipping date, a crate may already be in the Kiwico fulfillment pipeline and will arrive after cancellation. You cannot stop this shipment through account cancellation. Upon arrival, you may refuse the delivery or contact support to request a prepaid return label. Do not ignore the package, as unclaimed mail may incur storage fees or be returned to sender, which complicates future refund disputes.
Mistake 4: not monitoring your bank statement for 30 days after cancellation
System delays, billing errors, or processor glitches can occasionally cause a charge to appear 7 to 14 days after you canceled. Watch your credit card or bank account statements for the next month. If an unauthorized charge appears, contact your bank immediately to dispute it and notify Kiwico support with the dispute reference number. Early detection prevents the charge from posting permanently and speeds up the refund process.
Timeline and what to expect at each stage
Understanding the exact cancellation timeline helps you anticipate when charges will stop and when to escalate if something goes wrong.
| Timeline | Action or expectation | What you should do |
|---|---|---|
| Day 0 (same day you cancel) | On-screen confirmation appears; confirmation email sent | Take screenshots; save the email; note the exact date and time |
| Day 1-2 | Account processes cancellation with billing system | Log in and verify subscription status changed to Canceled |
| Day 3-5 | Kiwico sends a final confirmation email (may include survey or retention offer) | Read for confirmation language; file or ignore retention offers |
| Day 5-10 | Cancellation fully processed; account removed from recurring billing | Check bank statement; ensure no charge appears |
| Day 11-30 | Normal billing cycle would have occurred; no charge applies | Monitor statements; if charge appears, dispute immediately with your bank |
| Day 31+ | Account remains inactive; no further charges possible | Consider account fully canceled; you are free to re-subscribe anytime |
What to do if cancellation fails or charges continue
If your cancellation does not go through as expected, follow this escalation procedure.
If your subscription status still shows active after 48 hours
- Return to your account dashboard and attempt cancellation again through the portal. Note the new date and time.
- If the button is unavailable or the page produces an error, email [email protected] with the subject: Cancellation Request Failed on [Date] and include screenshots of the error message and your active subscription status.
- In the email body, reference your previous cancellation attempt, include your account email and subscription details, and request immediate manual cancellation by the support team. Ask for written confirmation of the cancellation date and next billing date in their reply.
- Expect a response within 5 business days. If you do not receive one, send a follow-up email and simultaneously file a complaint with the National Bureau of Consumer Protection at dti.gov.ph, referencing your previous email as evidence that you attempted cancellation.
If you are charged after cancellation
- Gather evidence: your cancellation confirmation email, screenshots of the canceled subscription status before the charge date, and a bank statement or credit card screenshot showing the unauthorized charge with the transaction date and amount.
- Contact Kiwico support at [email protected] with the subject: Unauthorized Charge After Cancellation on [Date] and attach all evidence. Explain that you canceled before the charge date and request a full refund with an explanation of what went wrong.
- Simultaneously, contact your bank or credit card issuer and file a dispute for the unauthorized charge. Provide your cancellation confirmation email as evidence that you did not authorize that transaction.
- If Kiwico does not refund within 14 days, escalate to the National Bureau of Consumer Protection. Under the Consumer Act, the DTI can order Kiwico to refund you and may impose penalties on the company for violating cancellation rights and continuing to charge after cancellation.
