How to cancel Fabkids in singapore: your complete step-by-step guide
What Fabkids is and why you might cancel
Fabkids is a subscription-based children's clothing service that delivers curated monthly outfits to your door. You join as a VIP member, receive styling recommendations, and use a monthly credit allowance to purchase items or pay additional costs out of pocket. The subscription renews automatically each billing cycle unless you actively cancel it.
You might cancel because your children outgrew the service, the styling no longer matches your preferences, you accumulated unused credits that expire, or the monthly commitment no longer fits your budget. Whatever your reason, Yafee is here to help you navigate the cancellation process smoothly and ensure you understand your rights as a consumer in Singapore.
How the Fabkids subscription works
When you sign up for Fabkids, you receive a monthly VIP credit (currently around S$67.43 SGD equivalent) toward purchases. You browse curated selections or shop freely, and your membership renews automatically each month unless you cancel. Orders ship to your address, and Fabkids offers a 60-day return or exchange window for items you wish to send back.
Common reasons to cancel Fabkids
Subscribers cancel for several practical reasons: children outgrow the recommended size range, the styling preferences no longer align with family needs, unused credits expire without value, or the monthly commitment strains household budgets. Some subscribers find better value with competitors or prefer to manage children's wardrobes independently. Yafee recognises that cancelling promptly protects your finances and prevents unwanted charges.
Your consumer rights when cancelling Fabkids in singapore
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when you cancel a subscription service by ensuring fair dealing and transparent contract terms.
Legal protections under singapore consumer law
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act, you have the right to clear information about billing, automatic renewal terms, and cancellation procedures before you commit to any subscription. If Fabkids does not clearly disclose its automatic renewal terms or cancellation process at the point of purchase, you may have grounds to dispute charges or request a refund.
Furthermore, Fabkids must not impose hidden cancellation fees or charge penalties for withdrawing from the subscription. If the company attempts to charge you a cancellation fee, this may violate consumer protection standards. Document any such charge and report it immediately to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or the Enterprise Singapore office.
Your legal position on cancellation
You have the right to cancel your Fabkids membership without penalty under Singapore consumer law. Fabkids should not charge you a cancellation fee or impose a waiting period beyond what is explicitly stated in your initial contract. If Fabkids refuses to process your cancellation or disputes a legitimate refund request, you can escalate to CASE. These authorities investigate unfair practices, mediate disputes, and help recover money owed to you. Keep all confirmation emails, billing statements, and cancellation confirmation messages as evidence of your subscription terms and cancellation request.
Escalation routes if Fabkids refuses to cancel
If Fabkids fails to cancel your account within a reasonable timeframe (typically 5 to 10 business days), or if the company denies your cancellation request, contact the Consumers Association of Singapore directly. CASE can investigate whether Fabkids has breached the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act and force compliance. Enterprise Singapore also handles complaints about unfair trading practices by online retailers and subscription services.
Methods to cancel your Fabkids membership
You have three primary ways to cancel your Fabkids subscription: through your online account, via live chat support, or by phone. Yafee recommends the online or chat method for speed and a documented record of your cancellation request.
Cancel through your online account dashboard
This is the fastest and most convenient method, allowing you to deactivate your VIP membership in minutes from your device.
- Log in to your Fabkids account at the official website using your email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, click "Forgot Password" and follow the reset link sent to your email.
- Navigate to "Account Settings" or "Membership Settings" in your account menu.
- Look for a section labeled "VIP Membership," "Subscription," or "Billing."
- Find the "Cancel Membership" or "Deactivate VIP" button and click it.
- Fabkids may ask you to confirm your decision or provide feedback on why you are cancelling.
- Answer these prompts; your feedback helps the company improve its service.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- You will receive an on-screen confirmation message and a confirmation email within minutes.
- Save this email as proof of your cancellation for your records.
- Verify that your account status changes to "Cancelled" or "Inactive" within 24 hours.
- Log back in to confirm the membership no longer shows as active.
Cancel via live chat support
If you prefer to speak with a support representative, Fabkids offers live chat assistance during business hours. This method creates a text record of your cancellation request.
- Visit the Fabkids website and locate the "Contact Us" or "Help" section.
- Look for a "Live Chat" or "Chat with Us" button; this is typically visible in the bottom-right corner or on a dedicated support page.
- Initiate a chat session and explain that you wish to cancel your VIP membership.
- Provide your account email address and the date you joined (if requested).
- Ask the support representative to confirm the cancellation in writing within the chat.
- Request a confirmation message or ticket number for your records.
- Screenshot or save the entire chat transcript before closing the session.
- This transcript is your proof of cancellation if any disputes arise later.
- Confirm cancellation by logging into your account 24 hours later.
- Verify that your membership status shows as "Cancelled" or "Inactive."
Cancel by phone
You can also call Fabkids customer service directly. Note that Fabkids is a US-based company, so you may reach representatives during US business hours. Ensure you note the date, time, and name of the representative you speak with.
- Contact Fabkids customer service by phone.
- The primary support number is typically found on the "Contact Us" page of the Fabkids website.
- Call during US business hours (8am to 8pm ET) for the fastest response.

- Ask the representative to email you a cancellation confirmation.
- This creates a documented record in your email account.
Timeline and what happens after you cancel
Understanding the post-cancellation timeline protects you from unexpected charges and ensures a clean separation from the service.
Immediate effects of cancellation
Once you cancel your Fabkids membership, the following occurs immediately: your VIP membership status changes to "Inactive" or "Cancelled" within your account, no new monthly credit is issued, and you retain access to your account history and any existing credits until the end of the current billing cycle (typically 30 days from cancellation date).
You can continue to place orders using any unused credits for up to 30 days after cancellation, depending on Fabkids' terms. Any unused credits expire at the end of this period and are forfeited, so use them before the deadline or request a refund if the terms permit.
Final billing cycle and charges to prevent
Fabkids will not charge you for a renewal after your cancellation is processed. If you cancel mid-month, you remain a member until the end of that billing cycle (or immediately, depending on when the company processes your request). After the final billing date passes, no further charges should appear on your credit card or payment method.
Consequently, monitor your bank statement for 30 days after cancellation. If a charge appears after your cancellation date, contact Yafee or your bank immediately and request a chargeback. Report the unauthorised charge to CASE as well.
Refund eligibility and claiming unused credits
Fabkids typically does not refund the monthly VIP credit if you cancel mid-cycle. However, if you cancel within a few days of your renewal date and have not yet used the current month's credit, some companies honour a partial refund. Contact customer support in writing (via email) and request a refund, citing your cancellation date and the unused credit amount.
Keep copies of all email correspondence. If Fabkids refuses a reasonable refund, escalate to CASE with your evidence. The Consumers Association of Singapore can review whether the company's refund policy complies with the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Fabkids
Cancellation is straightforward, but a few missteps can delay the process or leave you vulnerable to unexpected charges. Yafee has guided thousands of subscribers through this process and identified the pitfalls to prevent.
Mistake 1: failing to keep cancellation confirmation
Never cancel without saving confirmation. If you cancel online, screenshot the confirmation page. If you cancel by chat, save the transcript. If you cancel by phone, request an email confirmation and save it. Without proof, you cannot dispute a charge that appears after cancellation, and CASE will ask for documentation.
Mistake 2: assuming cancellation is automatic after logging out
Simply stopping orders or ignoring the service does not cancel your membership. You must actively click a "Cancel" button or call customer service. If you do not complete the cancellation process, your monthly charge continues. Check your account status 24 hours after attempting to cancel to confirm it shows as "Inactive."
Mistake 3: cancelling too close to the renewal date
If you cancel on the day your renewal is scheduled, Fabkids may process the renewal charge before the cancellation request is processed. If this happens, request a refund immediately via email and escalate to CASE if the company refuses. To avoid this, cancel at least 3 to 5 business days before your renewal date.
Mistake 4: not checking for pending charges
Monitor your bank statement and credit card for 30 days after cancellation. Occasionally, charges process slowly or are delayed by payment processors. If a charge appears after your confirmed cancellation date, report it to your bank and request a chargeback. Then notify Fabkids and CASE in writing.
Mistake 5: forgetting to use remaining credits before expiration
Unused credits typically expire 30 days after cancellation. If you have S$50 in unused credit, place an order before the deadline or contact support to request a refund. Once the expiration date passes, credits are forfeited and non-refundable in most cases.
After cancellation: what to do next
Cancellation marks the end of your Fabkids membership, but a few follow-up steps ensure a smooth transition and protect your consumer rights.
Confirm cancellation completion within 48 hours
Log into your Fabkids account 48 hours after submitting your cancellation request. Your membership status should display as "Cancelled," "Inactive," or "Not Active." If the status still shows "Active" or "VIP Member," contact support immediately and request confirmation that the cancellation was processed. Yafee advises treating this as urgent because further charges could accrue.
Monitor billing for 60 days
Check your credit card statement, debit card statement, and bank account for 60 days after the cancellation effective date. Although most charges stop within 48 hours, delays can occur due to payment processor schedules. If any charge from Fabkids appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank immediately and request a dispute or chargeback. Then email Fabkids customer service and CASE with screenshots of the unauthorised charge.
Keep all cancellation documentation in a folder
Store all emails, screenshots, chat transcripts, confirmation numbers, and bank statements related to your cancellation in a single digital folder. Label it "Fabkids Cancellation" and back it up to cloud storage. If a dispute arises within the next 12 months, this documentation will be your evidence. CASE requires it if you file a complaint.
