Hubble Contacts operates a direct-to-consumer subscription model for contact lenses, offering discounted monthly shipments and aggressive promotional pricing-often a $1 introductory box followed by recurring charges of $30 to $50 per month. The service appeals to budget-conscious consumers seeking predictable deliveries without visiting a brick-and-mortar retailer. However, recurring billing complications, unexpected charges, and difficulty navigating the cancellation process drive a substantial volume of cancellation requests.
The most frequent complaint centres on unwanted charges appearing on your bank statement weeks or months after you intended to cancel. Many customers report believing they had successfully ended their subscription, only to discover subsequent charges. At Yafee, we help consumers understand that subscription services rely on affirmative action-you must actively cancel; inaction guarantees continued billing. This principle, foundational to subscription law in the United States, is reinforced by the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA), which requires companies to obtain express informed consent before charging you and to provide a simple cancellation mechanism.
Your reason for cancelling shapes which remedy applies. Whether you dispute a charge, face a prescription change, or simply prefer a competitor, understanding your legal position strengthens your negotiation with customer service and-if necessary-escalation to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).
How the subscription model works
You select a lens type, delivery frequency, and quantity during signup. Your payment method is then charged automatically on a recurring schedule until you actively cancel. This automatic renewal model is standard across subscription industries but also the source of most disputes. The moment you enrol, you authorise Hubble to charge your card repeatedly; you do not need to re-authorise each charge.
Why customers cancel Hubble Contacts
Cancellations occur for predictable reasons: prescription changes, preference shifts to competitor brands, damaged or incorrect shipments, unexpected fees, or financial hardship. Some customers dispute charges after returning unopened boxes. Others cancel because they switched to glasses or prefer in-store options. At Yafee, we recognise that each reason may unlock different refund or credit remedies depending on timing and documentation.
Reviewing your plan pricing helps you identify billing errors and prepare evidence for refund requests.

Your exact charge depends on lens brand, quantity, delivery frequency, and any promotional credits applied. If your statement shows a charge exceeding your agreed price, take a screenshot immediately. This evidence supports a refund request and demonstrates that Hubble may have overcharged you in violation of ROSCA, which requires that charges match the terms you consented to at signup.
Cancellation is appropriate when the service no longer meets your needs or when you identify billing irregularities.
Strong reasons to cancel
- Recurring charges appear on your statement without your authorisation or at a price higher than advertised.
- Your prescription has changed and Hubble cannot fulfil the new prescription.
- You received damaged, defective, or incorrect lenses in multiple shipments.
- You requested a return or refund and Hubble denied it without explanation.
- Customer service is unresponsive or refuses to honour the terms you agreed to at signup.
- You no longer wear contact lenses or prefer an alternative brand.
- The recurring charge exceeds your budget or financial circumstances have changed.
Reasons you might keep your subscription
- Your prescription matches Hubble's available lens options and pricing meets your budget.
- You have received consistent, timely shipments without errors.
- You anticipate continued use of contact lenses and prefer the convenience of automatic delivery.
- Hubble's pricing undercuts your local retailer or alternative online vendors.
- You have received exceptional customer service and rapid resolution of disputes.
Your cancellation methods and which to use
Hubble provides two primary cancellation routes: online via your Member Portal or by telephone. Your choice depends on whether you need immediate confirmation and documentation.
Method 1: cancel online via the member portal (fastest)
The online method is the most efficient and creates a digital record of your cancellation timestamp. Use this approach if you want documentation and wish to cancel immediately before your next billing cycle.
- Log in to your Hubble Contacts account at signup.contactscart.com using your email and password.
- If you cannot remember your password, select "Forgot password" and reset it via email.
- Ensure you use the email address registered to your account.
- Navigate to your account settings or "Manage subscription" section.
- This option typically appears in a dashboard menu or account profile tab.
- Look for text stating "Subscription", "Billing", or "Membership".
- Locate the "Cancel subscription" or "End membership" button.
- Read the cancellation confirmation screen carefully; it may offer retention discounts or pauses.
- Decide whether to accept an offer or proceed with full cancellation.
- Confirm your cancellation decision and note the confirmation number and date displayed on screen.
- Screenshot the confirmation page immediately.
- Save this image to a secure location for your records.
- Check your email within 5 minutes for a cancellation confirmation message from Hubble.
- This email serves as your legal proof of cancellation under ROSCA.
- If you do not receive an email within 10 minutes, contact customer service with your confirmation number.
Method 2: cancel by telephone (when you need immediate assistance)
Call Hubble's customer service team at 1-844-334-1640. The line is staffed seven days a week, 9 AM to 9 PM Eastern Time. Use this method if you encounter login problems, wish to dispute a charge during the call, or need real-time confirmation from a human agent.
- Call 1-844-334-1640 and wait for the automated menu or representative to answer.
- Call during business hours (9 AM-9 PM ET, seven days a week) to minimise wait times.
- Have your account email address and the phone number associated with your account ready.
- Tell the representative: "I want to cancel my Hubble Contacts subscription effective immediately" or "at the end of my current billing cycle" (if you prefer to use your remaining balance).
- Be clear about the cancellation date to avoid confusion.
- Ask whether Hubble will refund any unused portion of a monthly payment or apply credits.
- Ask the representative to confirm your cancellation in writing via email.
- Request that the email include the cancellation date, your account email, and a confirmation or reference number.
- This email becomes your proof of cancellation if disputes arise later.
- Before ending the call, ask: "Will I receive any additional charges after today?"
- The representative must confirm that no further charges will appear.
- If they hesitate or equivocate, ask to speak with a supervisor.
- Retain a record of the call date, time, and representative's name in a document file.
- This creates a timeline if you need to dispute future charges with your bank or the FTC.
Your legal position under federal consumer law
As a Hubble Contacts customer, your rights are protected by the Restore Online Shoppers Confidence Act (ROSCA), a federal law enforced by the Federal Trade Commission. ROSCA requires that subscription companies provide you with clear, conspicuous terms before charging you and a simple, accessible cancellation mechanism. Hubble must honour your cancellation within one billing cycle and refund any charges incurred after you cancelled.
Your legal position is strong if Hubble continues to charge your card after you have cancelled via either method. You have the right to dispute the charges with your bank under the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) and the Electronic Funds Transfer Act (EFTA), which allow you to request a chargeback or reversal. The FTC enforces ROSCA violations and accepts complaints at reportfraud.ftc.gov; filing a complaint creates a record that strengthens future negotiations and may trigger an FTC investigation if Hubble exhibits a pattern of violations.
Furthermore, many U.S. states have enacted their own automatic renewal laws (sometimes called "negative option" laws) that mirror ROSCA but add stricter penalties. California's Consumer Legal Remedies Act, for instance, permits you to sue for damages if a company charges you after cancellation. New York's General Business Law Section 527 requires companies to obtain express consent and provide a simple cancellation process. At Yafee, we advise documenting every step because your evidence-screenshots, emails, call records-directly supports your claim if you need to escalate to your state's Attorney General or pursue a chargeback.
Timeline for when your cancellation takes effect
Understanding when Hubble ceases billing is critical to avoiding unexpected charges.
Immediate cancellation
If you cancel via the online portal or by telephone and Hubble confirms cancellation before your next scheduled billing date, your subscription ends immediately and no further charges occur. Your account remains accessible for 30 to 90 days (depending on Hubble's data retention policy), allowing you to download past invoices or contact customer service about refunds.
End-of-cycle cancellation
If you request cancellation but your next charge is scheduled to post within 24 to 48 hours, Hubble may process the pending charge before deactivating your account. In this scenario, request that Hubble refund the charge or apply it as a credit toward a future purchase that you will not make. Alternatively, request that Hubble pause your subscription for one billing cycle instead of cancelling, then cancel after that cycle concludes-this preserves your balance and gives you time to decide whether to resume.
Refund processing timeframe
If Hubble agrees to refund you (for overcharges, returned products, or post-cancellation charges), the refund appears on your bank statement within 5 to 10 business days. If 10 business days pass and the refund has not posted, contact Hubble for a refund status update and request a tracking number. If Hubble refuses to refund you, file a dispute with your bank within 60 days of the charge (this deadline is set by the EFTA).
Cancelling is the first step; protecting yourself against future charges requires follow-up action.
Monitor your bank statement for 60 days
Watch your checking account and credit card statements closely for the next two months. Even after cancellation, errors occur-your bank may process a pending charge, Hubble's system may retain your payment method, or a glitch may trigger a duplicate billing. At Yafee, we recommend setting a phone reminder for 30 days after cancellation to review your statement. If you see any charge from Hubble or its parent company (ContactsCart or similar processors) after your cancellation date, take screenshots and prepare a dispute with your bank immediately.
Save all cancellation documentation
Create a folder (digital or physical) containing every piece of evidence: the confirmation email from Hubble, screenshots of the online cancellation page, notes from any telephone call (date, time, representative name), your bank statement showing the cancellation date and any post-cancellation charges, and the confirmation number provided by Hubble. This documentation is your legal shield if you must file a chargeback, lodge an FTC complaint, or pursue a refund demand letter.
Request account deletion (optional)
If you wish to ensure Hubble cannot accidentally reactivate your subscription, email customer service and request that your account be permanently deleted, not merely closed. Deletion removes your stored payment method and login access, reducing the risk of data breaches or accidental re-enrollment.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
You are not alone in facing confusion during cancellation-Yafee has helped thousands of consumers navigate these traps.
Mistake 1: assuming an email inquiry counts as cancellation
Sending an email to a generic customer service address stating "please cancel my subscription" is not sufficient under ROSCA. Email inquiries can be lost, misdirected, or ignored. Always use the official online portal or call the telephone number provided by Hubble. If you communicate via email, follow up with a phone call and request written confirmation, because email alone does not create a binding cancellation record in Hubble's system.
Mistake 2: cancelling during a promotion or trial period without understanding the terms
Some Hubble promotions require you to remain enrolled for a minimum number of billing cycles (typically 2 to 4 months). If you cancel before that period concludes, Hubble may reverse promotional credits or charge you a cancellation fee. Before initiating cancellation, review your original signup email and account terms. If you encounter a fee, dispute it with Hubble, citing ROSCA's requirement that all material terms be disclosed upfront.
Mistake 3: relying on a payment card expiration to stop charges
Hubble may contact you if your card expires, requesting an updated payment method. Do not assume that an expired card automatically cancels your subscription. Proactively cancel via the portal or telephone; do not wait for the card to expire. Moreover, if you update your payment method without intending to reactivate, you may inadvertently re-authorise recurring charges.
Mistake 4: failing to screenshot the confirmation
If your cancellation confirmation email is deleted, archived, or marked as spam, you lose your primary proof of cancellation. Screenshot every confirmation page immediately and save images to cloud storage (Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive). These screenshots are admissible as evidence in disputes and protect you if Hubble claims it never received your cancellation request.
Mistake 5: not checking your account within one billing cycle
After cancelling, log back into your account within 3 to 5 days to verify that your subscription status shows "Cancelled" or "Inactive". If the portal still displays an active subscription, contact customer service immediately. This verification step catches system errors before they result in unwanted charges.
Refund eligibility and how to request one
Cancellation and refunds are distinct actions; cancelling stops future charges, but a refund reclaims past charges.
When Hubble must refund you
Under ROSCA and state consumer protection laws, you have a strong refund claim if any of the following apply:
- You were charged after you cancelled, and the charge is not due to a pending transaction authorised before cancellation.
- Hubble charged you at a price higher than the price you agreed to at signup.
- You received a damaged, defective, or significantly incorrect shipment and reported it within 30 days.
- You returned a shipment (unopened or opened) within the return window and Hubble never processed a refund credit.
- Hubble failed to disclose all material terms (price, cancellation policy, automatic renewal terms) before charging you.
How to request a refund
Send a written refund demand to Hubble via email, addressing it to customer service at the email address listed on your account or invoice. Use this template:
Subject: Refund Request for Hubble Contacts Account [Your Account Email]
Dear Hubble Contacts,
I request a full refund of $[amount] charged to my account on [date]. This charge was incurred in violation of [ROSCA / your state's automatic renewal law], because [state your reason: charged after cancellation / overcharge / defective product / etc.]. I cancelled my subscription on [date] via [online portal / telephone]. My confirmation number is [number, if applicable]. Please refund this charge to my original payment method within 10 business days. If you refuse, I will file a dispute with my bank and a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission. Sincerely, [Your Name]
Send this letter via email with read receipt enabled. If Hubble does not respond within 10 days, escalate by filing a complaint with the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov and disputing the charge with your bank.
What to do if Hubble refuses to cancel or refund
If Hubble ignores your cancellation request or denies a legitimate refund, you have escalation options.
Step 1: request a supervisor review by phone
Call 1-844-334-1640 again and ask to speak with a supervisor or manager. Explain that you previously requested cancellation or a refund and it was denied. Ask the supervisor to review your account history and reverse their decision. Often, a supervisor has authority to approve refunds that front-line representatives cannot.
Step 2: file a chargeback with your bank
Under the EFTA, your bank can reverse charges if you dispute them within 60 days of the charge appearing on your statement. Contact your bank's fraud or disputes department and file a chargeback claim. Provide your bank with the documentation you collected: cancellation confirmations, screenshots, Hubble's refusal email, and proof of any post-cancellation charges. Your bank will investigate and typically refund you within 10 business days if your evidence is strong.
Step 3: file a complaint with the federal trade commission
Visit reportfraud.ftc.gov and file a complaint detailing your experience. The FTC enforces ROSCA and investigates companies that exhibit a pattern of unlawful automatic renewal charges. Your complaint creates an official record and may trigger an FTC investigation, particularly if multiple consumers report similar violations by Hubble.
Step 4: file a complaint with your state's attorney general
Visit your state's Attorney General website and file a consumer complaint. Many states (particularly California, New York, and Illinois) aggressively enforce automatic renewal laws and may take action against Hubble if multiple consumers report violations. This avenue is especially effective if your state has a specific negative option law.
Step 5: consider small claims court (if the refund is under $10,000)
If Hubble owes you a refund of less than $10,000, you can sue in small claims court. You do not need a lawyer, and filing fees are typically $100 to $400. Bring your documentation and argue that Hubble violated ROSCA or your state's consumer protection law. Many consumers win these cases because the evidence-cancellation confirmations, post-cancellation charges-is straightforward.
