How to cancel Snackcrate and stop auto-renewal charges in the philippines
What is Snackcrate and how it works
Snackcrate is a monthly subscription box service that delivers 10 to 12 premium international snacks to your doorstep every billing cycle. You pay a recurring monthly fee, and the company automatically charges your card until you cancel. Understanding exactly what you are paying for and when the next charge occurs is your first step toward canceling with confidence.
How Snackcrate charges you
When you join Snackcrate, you agree to an auto-renewing subscription that continues indefinitely until you cancel before your next billing date. The company sends you a curated box of snacks roughly every 30 days, and your payment method is charged automatically on the same date each month. If you do not cancel before that date arrives, your card is charged again, and you remain enrolled.
Snackcrate operates from the United States with a mailing address at 890 East Heisenberg Street in Pensacola, Florida. Their customer support hours run on US Central Time Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm CST. For customers in the Philippines, support is not localized, and there is no live chat option available. This geographic distance and limited communication channels can make cancellation feel more complicated than it needs to be.
Current pricing in the philippines
Snackcrate displays prices in both US dollars and Philippine pesos. The monthly plan costs ₱1,695 (roughly $30 USD), the six-month plan costs ₱1,582 per cycle when billed every six months, and the annual plan costs ₱1,356 per cycle when billed yearly. International shipping fees may apply to your order depending on your delivery location in the Philippines, meaning your actual total cost can exceed the advertised base price.

Why you might want to cancel Snackcrate
Common reasons Filipino subscribers stop using Snackcrate include unexpected shipping charges that push the total above the base price, surprise snacks that do not match dietary preferences, boxes arriving damaged during international transit, and difficulty reaching customer support during Philippine business hours.
You might also want to pause or cancel temporarily if you are away from home, traveling, or simply want to stop snack deliveries for a month without losing your account. Snackcrate offers a pause option, but understanding the difference between pausing and full cancellation is essential so you do not get charged again when you forget to resume your subscription.
What you should know before canceling
Canceling Snackcrate is free, and there is no early termination fee. However, the terms state that once you cancel, you will not receive a refund for the current billing cycle. This means if your next billing date is tomorrow and you cancel today, you will still be charged tomorrow unless you cancel before that specific date passes.
Refund requests depend on your payment method and your bank's dispute policies. If you believe a charge was incorrect or unauthorized, you can dispute it through your bank or credit card issuer. Keep all confirmation emails as evidence of your cancellation request.
Your consumer rights and what they mean for you
Your legal position is protected under the Consumer Act of the Philippines (Republic Act No. 7394), which establishes your right to cancel subscription services and prohibits unfair or deceptive billing practices.
Under this legislation, you have the right to cancel your subscription without penalty, provided you submit your cancellation request before your next billing date. The Consumer Act of the Philippines also grants you the right to receive clear, transparent information about charges, billing dates, and cancellation procedures before you enter a subscription agreement.
Furthermore, the Consumer Act of the Philippines requires that any subscription service operating in or billing Philippine customers must honor cancellation requests submitted in writing or through their established digital channels within a reasonable timeframe, typically 3 to 5 business days.
If Snackcrate refuses to cancel your account or continues charging you after a valid cancellation request, you can escalate your complaint to the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group, which enforces the Consumer Act of the Philippines and investigates subscription service violations. Yafee can help you understand your rights and document your cancellation request for potential disputes.
How to cancel Snackcrate step by step
Canceling Snackcrate requires you to submit your cancellation request through their email support channel before your next billing date. Follow these steps in the precise order to ensure your cancellation is processed correctly.
Step 1: log into your Snackcrate account
Visit the Snackcrate website and sign in using your email address and password. Navigate to your account dashboard or profile settings. Look for a section labeled "Subscription," "Manage Subscription," or "Account Settings." This is where you will find your billing date and payment information.
Step 2: locate your next billing date
In your account dashboard, you will see your current subscription status and the exact date your next charge will occur. Write down this date. You must submit your cancellation request before this date passes, or you will be charged again. For example, if your next billing date is the 15th of the month, you must cancel on or before the 14th.
Step 3: prepare your cancellation email
Open your email client and compose a new message. Include the following information in your cancellation email:
- Your full name as it appears on your Snackcrate account
- Your email address associated with the subscription
- Your account number (if available)
- The exact phrase "I request immediate cancellation of my Snackcrate subscription" or "Please cancel my subscription effective immediately"
- Your next billing date (which you noted in Step 2)
- Your preferred method of confirmation (email receipt)
Step 4: submit your cancellation request to Snackcrate support
Send your cancellation email to the official Snackcrate customer support address. The primary mailing and registered agent address listed with the Florida state registry is 890 East Heisenberg Street, Pensacola, Florida. However, customer support typically responds to email inquiries submitted through their website contact form or support email address. Visit the Snackcrate website and locate the "Contact Us" or "Customer Support" section, then send your cancellation request there. Keep a copy of this email for your records.
Step 5: wait for confirmation
Snackcrate support typically responds to cancellation requests within 3 to 5 business days, though response times may be slower due to the geographic and time zone difference between the Philippines and Florida. When support responds, they will confirm that your subscription has been canceled and provide you with a confirmation number or reference code. Save this confirmation email immediately.
Step 6: monitor your bank statement
Check your credit card or payment method statement approximately 5 to 7 business days after your original billing date. If no charge appears, your cancellation was successful. If a charge does appear after you submitted your cancellation request, contact your bank immediately to dispute the transaction and provide them with your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
How to pause your Snackcrate subscription instead of canceling
If you want to temporarily stop receiving boxes but maintain your account, Snackcrate offers a pause feature that does not cancel your subscription. This option is useful if you are traveling or want to skip a few months without losing your membership status or any rewards you may have accumulated.
To pause your subscription, log into your account, navigate to your subscription settings, and select "Pause Subscription" or "Skip Next Box." This will delay your next billing date by one month. You can pause your subscription up to 3 times in a row before you are required to resume or cancel. Pausing does not incur any fees, but remember that your subscription remains active and will resume automatically on your next designated billing date unless you pause again.
What happens after you cancel
Your cancellation is now permanent, and you have successfully stopped all future charges from Snackcrate. No more boxes will arrive at your address, and your account will show a "canceled" status if you log in again.
You may receive one final box if it was already shipped before your cancellation was processed by the support team. This is normal and does not mean your cancellation failed. Once that final box arrives, your subscription is fully complete. Do not open a dispute with your bank for this final shipment, as it was already in transit when your cancellation took effect.
You will not receive any refund for the current billing cycle, but you will not be charged again after your cancellation date. If you have any remaining account balance or credits, contact Snackcrate support to inquire about how to apply them to future orders if you ever decide to resubscribe.
Refunds and dispute resolution
Snackcrate's refund policy states that no refunds are issued for the current billing cycle in which you cancel. However, you have consumer protection options if you believe you were charged unfairly or without authorization.
Requesting a refund through Snackcrate
If you believe your most recent charge was unauthorized or resulted from a failed cancellation attempt, email Snackcrate support directly with your cancellation confirmation number and a detailed explanation. Request a refund and explain why you believe the charge should not have occurred. Include your next billing date and the date you submitted your cancellation request. Support will review your case and respond within 5 to 10 business days with a decision.
Disputing a charge with your bank
If Snackcrate does not refund the charge within 14 days of your request, or if they refuse your refund request, you can dispute the charge directly with your bank or credit card issuer. Contact your bank's dispute or chargeback department and provide them with the following:
- Your cancellation confirmation email from Snackcrate
- The date you submitted your cancellation request
- The date the unauthorized charge appeared on your statement
- A written explanation of why you believe the charge was incorrect
- Any correspondence between you and Snackcrate regarding the charge
Your bank will open a dispute investigation and typically resolve it within 30 to 60 days. If the bank determines that Snackcrate charged you after you submitted a valid cancellation request, they will reverse the charge and issue a refund to your account.
Escalating to the department of trade and industry
If your bank dispute is unsuccessful, or if Snackcrate continues to charge you after multiple cancellation requests, you can file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Consumer Protection Group. The DTI enforces the Consumer Act of the Philippines and can investigate unfair billing practices by subscription services. File your complaint in writing and include all evidence of your cancellation requests and unauthorized charges. The DTI will contact Snackcrate on your behalf and work to resolve the dispute.
Common mistakes to avoid when canceling
Canceling Snackcrate is straightforward, and you should feel confident submitting your request once you understand the process.
The most common mistake subscribers make is pausing their subscription instead of canceling it, then forgetting about it. Six months later, they are shocked to discover a charge for a box they forgot they had paused. Always confirm whether you are pausing or canceling. If you want to stop all future charges permanently, you must cancel, not pause.
A second costly error is submitting a cancellation request after your billing date has passed. If your next charge is scheduled for the 15th and you cancel on the 16th, the 15th charge has already processed. Always submit your cancellation request at least 1 to 2 days before your billing date to ensure the system has time to process your request.
Do not rely on verbal cancellation requests or cancellation requests submitted through social media. Always use the official email support channel listed on the Snackcrate website. Screenshot or save any confirmation page that appears after you submit your cancellation, and keep the confirmation email from support as proof.
Finally, do not assume that Snackcrate has canceled your account just because you submitted a request. Wait for their confirmation email before considering the cancellation final. If you do not receive confirmation within 5 business days, send a follow-up email or contact Snackcrate again.

Steps to take if Snackcrate refuses to cancel
In rare cases, Snackcrate may fail to respond to your cancellation request, claim they did not receive it, or refuse to cancel your account. Yafee recommends that you take the following steps to protect yourself.
First, send a second cancellation email from a different email account or device to ensure the first message did not go to spam. Include the original cancellation request date and ask for confirmation that they received your first request. Send this second email via the same contact method and save the delivery confirmation.
Second, if Snackcrate does not respond within 7 business days, contact your bank or credit card company and formally dispute any charges that occur after your first cancellation request date. Provide your bank with both cancellation emails as evidence that you made a good-faith effort to cancel.
Third, file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry Consumer Protection Group. Yafee recommends that you document the timeline of your cancellation attempts, including dates, times, and email addresses used. The DTI will investigate whether Snackcrate violated the Consumer Act of the Philippines by ignoring your cancellation request.
Fourth, consider posting a factual, dated review on consumer review websites or on your bank's website describing your experience. This alerts other consumers and creates a public record that may encourage Snackcrate to respond faster to future complaints.

If you need to contact Snackcrate for cancellation or dispute resolution, use the following contact information.
Snackcrate's registered mailing address is 890 East Heisenberg Street, Pensacola, Florida 32502, United States. This is the official address where you can send written cancellation requests if email does not work. However, email is the fastest method of contacting support.
Customer support hours are Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm US Central Time. The Philippines is 13 to 14 hours ahead of Central Time, depending on daylight saving.
