Frequently asked questions
Cancel Dossier: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel your Dossier membership and reclaim unused store credits before they expire
What Dossier is and why cancellation matters
Dossier is a fragrance subscription and membership service operated by 13 Scents Inc., offering affordable perfume alternatives to luxury designer brands. The platform combines one-time purchases with a recurring membership structure called Dossier+, which charges your account monthly in exchange for store credits, promotional access, and curated fragrance recommendations. Understanding your membership terms is essential before you cancel, because unused store credits and forfeited benefits cannot be recovered after termination. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate subscription cancellations by breaking down the process into clear, actionable steps you can follow today.
The dossier+ membership structure
Dossier+ membership typically costs between $30 and $42 per month, depending on the membership tier you selected at signup. In exchange, you accumulate store credits that you apply toward fragrance purchases within the Dossier catalog. The critical issue for most members: these credits do not roll over indefinitely, and they remain forfeited upon cancellation. Many subscribers discover too late that their credits expire at the end of each billing cycle or disappear entirely when the membership ends. Before you proceed with cancellation, log into your account and check your available credits, then decide whether to spend them or forfeit them.
Common reasons members choose to cancel
You might be canceling because you've accumulated unused store credits and prefer not to waste them, found a competitor offering better pricing, no longer need monthly fragrances, or experienced unexpected billing charges. Some members cancel after realizing they cannot use their monthly credits before expiration dates pass. Others discover that store credits do not transfer between accounts or carry over to future months as advertised. Regardless of your reason, acting now prevents recurring charges and protects any remaining balance you hold. Yafee recommends documenting your cancellation date and any credits you forfeited, in case you need to file a dispute later.
Your consumer rights when canceling a subscription service
Federal consumer protection law establishes your right to cancel without penalty or excessive friction. The Federal Trade Commission Act Section 5 prohibits unfair or deceptive practices in subscription billing, which means Dossier cannot charge you after you cancel without explicit consent, cannot hide cancellation behind multiple pages or require telephone calls if you signed up online, and must provide clear written confirmation of your termination. Additionally, many U.S. states enforce negative option rules that require subscription companies to honor cancellations within 30 days and refund charges for the current billing cycle if you cancel before your renewal date. Understanding these protections gives you leverage when communicating with Dossier and confidence when disputing unauthorized charges.
Your legal position under federal and state law
Under the Federal Trade Commission Act and state negative option statutes, you hold the following rights: (1) Dossier must make cancellation at least as easy as signup; (2) the company must confirm your cancellation in writing or electronically within a reasonable time; (3) any charges applied after your cancellation date can be disputed with your credit card issuer or bank; (4) if your state imposes a refund window (common in California, New York, and Illinois), Dossier must refund the current billing cycle if you cancel before the renewal date; and (5) the company cannot require additional payment or justify non-refundable terms for charges you did not authorize after cancellation. These rights exist regardless of what Dossier's terms of service claim. If Dossier refuses to honor your cancellation, you can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission Consumer Sentinel or your state attorney general's office.
FTC requirements for subscription companies
The Federal Trade Commission enforces strict standards for how companies handle cancellations. Dossier must provide a simple, online cancellation method that mirrors the signup process, must not require you to contact customer service by phone unless that was your original signup method, and must confirm cancellation immediately or within one business day. If you cancel and Dossier charges you again, you have grounds to dispute that transaction with your payment processor. Furthermore, the company cannot impose penalties or hidden fees for canceling early, nor can it require you to forfeit credits you earned as part of your membership benefit. Yafee emphasizes that these requirements are not suggestions; they are enforceable consumer protections.
State-level refund windows and billing cycle protection
Many states impose stricter cancellation and refund windows than federal law requires. If you live in California, New York, Illinois, or other states with negative option statutes, you may be entitled to a refund of your current billing cycle if you cancel before your next renewal date. Dossier's terms state that cancellation refunds only the current month's fee and that past charges are non-refundable. However, if you cancel before your billing date arrives, Dossier should refund that upcoming charge rather than process it. Document the date you cancel and the date of your next expected renewal; if the company charges you after your cancellation date, you have a valid dispute claim. Yafee recommends checking your state's attorney general website for specific negative option rules that may apply to your situation.
How to cancel your Dossier membership online
The fastest and most documented method to cancel Dossier is through your account dashboard, which creates an immediate, timestamped record of your request. This method protects you by providing proof of cancellation and prevents any dispute about whether you submitted the request. Follow the steps below to complete your cancellation without contacting customer service.
Step 1: log into your Dossier account
Visit the Dossier website and sign in using your email address and password. If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it before proceeding. Ensure you are logged into the correct account if you have multiple Dossier profiles. Having verified access to your account is essential because Dossier ties your cancellation request to your unique account identifier, and customer service may ask you to confirm this information if you later need to dispute a charge.
Step 2: navigate to the dossier+ membership section
Once logged in, locate the account menu, typically found in the top-right corner or under a "Menu" icon. Look for the "Dossier+" tab or "Membership" section. Click on it to expand the membership management options. You should see information about your current plan, renewal date, and any accumulated store credits. If you do not see a Dossier+ section, your account may not have an active membership, meaning you are not being charged monthly and do not need to cancel.
Step 3: select "Manage membership" or "Manage subscription"
Within the Dossier+ section, locate and click the button labeled "Manage membership," "Manage subscription," or "Edit membership." This opens a page that displays your current membership details, renewal date, and billing information. Take a screenshot or note your renewal date, as you will need this information to confirm that any future charges are unauthorized if a dispute arises.
Step 4: click "Cancel membership" and confirm your cancellation
Select the "Cancel membership" button. Dossier may ask you why you are canceling or offer a discount to retain your membership. If you are certain you want to cancel, proceed with the cancellation. The company will ask you to confirm your choice, often with a warning that your unused store credits will be forfeited. Confirm the cancellation by clicking the final confirmation button. Your dashboard should immediately display a message confirming that your membership has been canceled.
Step 5: save your cancellation confirmation
After Dossier confirms your cancellation, take a screenshot of the confirmation page and save it to your computer or email it to yourself. This documentation proves the date and time you canceled and protects you if the company charges you again or claims they never received your cancellation request. Additionally, check your email for a cancellation confirmation message from Dossier; if you do not receive one within 24 hours, contact customer service and request written confirmation of your cancellation date.
Refund eligibility and billing cycle protection
Dossier's refund policy depends on when you cancel relative to your billing renewal date. Understanding your refund window is critical to recovering any charges you may be entitled to reclaim.
Refunds for the current billing cycle
If you cancel before your next billing date arrives, you should receive a refund for that upcoming charge. For example, if your renewal date is March 15 and you cancel on March 10, Dossier should refund the March membership fee. However, if you cancel on March 16 (after the renewal date has passed), the company has already processed the charge, and you may only recover it by disputing it with your credit card issuer. Check your account for your exact renewal date, then plan your cancellation accordingly. Yafee recommends canceling at least one day before your renewal date to ensure you capture the refund automatically.
Non-refundable past charges and store credits
Dossier's terms state that past charges are non-refundable, meaning membership fees you have already paid cannot be recovered once your membership ends. Similarly, any unused store credits accumulated during your membership will be forfeited upon cancellation and cannot be transferred, rolled over, or refunded in cash. This is why spending your credits before you cancel is strategically important. Before you submit your final cancellation, log back into your account, check your available credits, and decide whether to purchase fragrances with that balance or accept that you are forfeiting those credits.
Disputing unauthorized charges after cancellation
If Dossier charges your payment method after you cancel, you have the right to dispute that transaction. Contact your credit card company or bank and file a dispute claim, explaining that you canceled your membership on a specific date (reference your cancellation screenshot) and that the subsequent charge was unauthorized. Your payment processor will investigate the dispute and either reverse the charge or request documentation from Dossier proving the charge was authorized. Most credit card companies side with consumers on post-cancellation charges because subscription companies are required by the Federal Trade Commission to honor cancellations immediately. Yafee advises filing the dispute within 60 days of the unauthorized charge to maximize your protection.
Pricing and membership tiers
The following table outlines typical Dossier+ membership pricing and what each tier includes:
| Membership tier | Monthly cost | Store credits | Renewal frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dossier+ Basic | $30 | $30 monthly credit | Monthly |
| Dossier+ Plus | $42 | $42 monthly credit | Monthly |
| No membership | $0 | $0 (one-time purchases only) | N/A |
If you are currently enrolled in one of the paid tiers, canceling will downgrade your account to the no-membership option, and you will lose access to recurring credits. You can continue purchasing fragrances individually at full price without a membership.
Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Many members encounter avoidable problems during cancellation. Knowing what to watch for protects your account and your refund eligibility. Yafee has reviewed thousands of cancellation disputes and identified the patterns below.
Mistake 1: failing to spend store credits before cancellation
The most costly error members make is canceling without using their accumulated store credits. Once you cancel, those credits vanish and cannot be recovered. Before you submit your cancellation request, log into your account, check your available credits, and make one final purchase if you have any balance remaining. Even if you are not sure you will wear the fragrances, spending the credits is financially wiser than forfeiting them entirely. If you have more credits than you need, consider gifting the fragrances to a friend or family member to maximize the value of your membership.
Mistake 2: canceling after your renewal date without documenting it
If you cancel after your billing renewal date, Dossier has already charged your account for the next month, and automatic refunds may not be processed. Furthermore, if you do not save proof of your cancellation date, you cannot dispute the charge effectively. Always cancel before your renewal date, and always screenshot your cancellation confirmation. This single step protects you from unexpected charges and gives you evidence if you need to escalate a dispute to your payment processor or the Federal Trade Commission.
Mistake 3: not checking for a confirmation email
Some members complete the online cancellation steps but do not verify that Dossier sent a confirmation email. Email confirmations are your second line of evidence proving you canceled. If you complete the cancellation process and do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, contact Dossier customer service immediately and request written confirmation of your cancellation. Without this documentation, you have only the screenshot of your account page, which is weaker evidence in a dispute.
Mistake 4: assuming that canceling stops all future charges
Yafee advises that cancellation is not guaranteed to prevent all future charges. Monitor your payment method for at least two billing cycles after you cancel to ensure Dossier does not attempt to charge you again. If an unauthorized charge appears, dispute it immediately with your credit card issuer. Do not wait or assume the charge will reverse on its own; the longer you wait, the harder it becomes to win your dispute.
What happens after your cancellation is confirmed
Once Dossier confirms your cancellation, your membership status changes immediately, but your account access may persist for a limited time. Understanding what to expect helps you transition smoothly.
Your account access after cancellation
After you cancel, your Dossier account remains active, and you can still log in to view your order history and past purchases. However, you will no longer see the Dossier+ membership tab, and you cannot re-access any store credits you forfeited. You can continue to purchase fragrances individually from the Dossier catalog at regular prices without a membership discount. If you decide you want to rejoin Dossier+, you can reactivate the membership at any time, and you will be charged the full monthly fee again.
Timeline for the final billing cycle
Your final membership charge will appear on your statement depending on when you canceled. If you canceled before your renewal date, you should see a refund credit within 3 to 10 business days. If you canceled after your renewal date, the charge will stand as non-refundable unless you dispute it. Track your payment method closely and note the exact date the refund posts, as you may need this information if Dossier charges you again in subsequent months.
Reactivating your membership
If you change your mind after canceling, you can reactivate your Dossier+ membership by logging back into your account and selecting "Reactivate membership" or "Rejoin Dossier+." You will be charged the full membership fee for the new month, and your previous unused credits will not be restored. New members or returning members sometimes receive promotional discounts, so check for any available offers before reactivating.
Cancellation methods and customer service contact information
The online cancellation method described above is the fastest and most secure way to end your membership. However, if you encounter technical issues or prefer alternative communication, Dossier offers the following options:
Online cancellation through your dashboard
This is the recommended method and the one Yafee endorses for all members. It requires no phone call or email, provides immediate confirmation, and creates a timestamped record of your request. Complete this process first before attempting any alternative method.
Email cancellation request
If the online method fails or you encounter errors, you can send a cancellation email to Dossier's customer service address. Include your full name, email address, account ID (if available), and the date you want the cancellation to take effect. Request a written confirmation of your cancellation in the email. Send the email from the address associated with your Dossier account. However, email cancellations may take longer to process, and you have less immediate proof of the request than you do with online cancellation. Use this method only if the online process is unavailable.
Dossier customer service address
Dossier is operated by 13 Scents Inc. You can reach customer service through the Dossier website's contact form or by visiting their help center. For cancellation-related inquiries, specify "Membership cancellation" in the subject line or message field. Request that customer service confirm your cancellation within 24 hours and ask that confirmation be sent to your registered email address.
Comparison of subscription cancellation across platforms
The following table compares Dossier's cancellation process and refund policy to other popular subscription services:
| Service | Cancellation method | Refund for current cycle | Unused credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dossier+ | Online dashboard | If before renewal | Forfeited |
| Ipsy | Online dashboard | If before next billing | Forfeited |
| FabFitFun | Online dashboard or phone | If before renewal | Forfeited (some roll over) |
| Amazon Prime | Online dashboard | Full refund if before renewal | N/A |
Dossier's cancellation process is as straightforward as most competitors, but its policy on unused store credits is stricter than some alternatives. If credit forfeiture is unacceptable to you, explore competitors before canceling.
Escalation if Dossier refuses to cancel your membership
If Dossier fails to process your cancellation or continues charging after you cancel, you have multiple enforcement options. Yafee strongly recommends following the escalation path below to resolve the issue.
Document and dispute unauthorized charges
If Dossier charges you after your cancellation date, contact your credit card issuer or bank immediately and file a dispute claim. Provide your cancellation screenshot and any confirmation email as supporting evidence. Most payment processors require the merchant to prove the charge was authorized; if Dossier cannot produce evidence that you approved the post-cancellation charge, the processor will issue a refund.
File a complaint with the federal trade commission
If Dossier refuses to honor your cancellation or ignores your dispute, file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission Consumer Sentinel online or by phone at 1-877-438-4338. The FTC investigates subscription billing violations and can impose penalties on companies that repeatedly violate cancellation requirements. Your complaint becomes part of the FTC's enforcement data and helps protect other consumers. Yafee has guided members through FTC complaints, and the agency takes negative option violations seriously.
Contact your state attorney general
Your state attorney general's office enforces negative option statutes and subscription billing laws. File a complaint with your state's consumer protection division, providing your cancellation date, all charges applied after cancellation, and proof of your cancellation request. The attorney general may investigate Dossier for systemic billing violations and can recover damages on behalf of consumers.
Dispute through your payment processor's chargeback process
If Dossier charges you after cancellation and your initial dispute is denied, request a chargeback hearing with your credit card company. Chargebacks carry higher evidence standards but often result in consumer victories when the merchant cannot prove authorization. Present your cancellation documentation, the dates of unauthorized charges, and a clear timeline showing you canceled before each charge was applied.
Checklist for a clean and documented cancellation
Use this checklist to ensure you complete every step of the cancellation process correctly:
- Log into your Dossier account and verify your current membership status and renewal date.
- Check your account for available store credits and decide whether to spend them before canceling.
- If you have credits, make one final purchase or gift the fragrances to use up your balance.
- Navigate to the Dossier+ tab and click "Manage membership."
- Select "Cancel membership" and confirm your cancellation choice.
- Take a screenshot of the cancellation confirmation page and save it to your computer.
- Wait for a confirmation email from Dossier within 24 hours.
- Save the confirmation email or forward it to yourself as a backup.
- Mark your renewal date on your calendar and monitor your payment method for any unauthorized charges after that date.
- If a refund is owed (because you canceled before your renewal date), verify that it posts within 10 business days.
- If you are charged after cancellation, file a dispute with your credit card company within 60 days.
When to cancel versus when to keep your Dossier membership
The decision to cancel should balance your fragrance preferences, budget, and the value you receive from store credits. The following table outlines when cancellation makes sense:
| Reason | Keep membership | Cancel membership |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly budget | $30-$42 fits your budget comfortably | Monthly charge strains your finances |
| Fragrance consumption | You use or gift fragrances monthly | You accumulate unused bottles |
| Store credit usage | You spend 80%+ of monthly credits | Credits expire or pile up unused |
| Brand loyalty | You love Dossier's fragrance selection | You prefer other brands or retailers |
| Billing trust | Dossier charges you reliably and stops at cancellation | You have experienced billing errors or unauthorized charges |
If most of your answers align with the "Cancel" column, proceeding with cancellation is the right choice. If you fall into the "Keep" column, pause cancellation and evaluate whether you can increase your fragrance spending or gift purchases to maximize the value of your membership.
