Cancel Walmart Plus: Step-by-Step Guide

How to cancel Walmart Plus delivery pass in canada and get your money back

Understanding delivery pass and your membership in canada

Walmart Plus doesn't exist in Canada under that name. Instead, Walmart Canada offers Delivery Pass, a membership service that gives you unlimited free next-day delivery on over 65,000 qualifying items through Walmart.ca. This subscription is designed for frequent online shoppers who want to avoid shipping fees and checkout delays.

If you signed up expecting convenience but now find yourself paying each month for a service you rarely use, you have every right to cancel. At Tocancel, we help Canadians understand their cancellation options and take control of their subscriptions. Many members don't realize they have multiple ways to cancel or that auto-renewal can catch them by surprise. We'll walk you through every step so you cancel with confidence.

What delivery pass costs and what you receive

Delivery Pass offers two pricing tiers. Your choice depends on how often you shop online at Walmart.ca and whether you prefer monthly flexibility or annual savings.

The annual plan costs roughly $7.42 per month when divided across 12 months, giving you modest savings if you commit upfront. However, if your shopping habits have changed or you've relocated to an area without next-day delivery coverage, you can cancel either plan at any time without penalty.

Common reasons to cancel delivery pass

Your reason for cancellation is valid, whether you signed up on impulse and realized the monthly fees add up quickly, you moved and lost next-day delivery eligibility, or you discovered free pickup options work better for your lifestyle. Many Canadians cancel because auto-renewal charged them unexpectedly, or they found competitor services that suit their needs more closely.

Subscription fatigue is real, and you shouldn't feel locked into a membership that no longer serves you. The moment you realize Delivery Pass isn't worth the cost, you have the right to exit without explanation or justification.

Your consumer rights when cancelling delivery pass

Canada's consumer protection laws give you specific rights when dealing with subscription services. Understanding these rights is the first step to cancelling successfully.

Consumer protection act and provincial coverage

Under Canada's Consumer Protection Act and equivalent provincial legislation-such as Ontario's Consumer Protection Act, British Columbia's Consumer Protection Act, and Alberta's Fair Trading Act-you have the right to cancel a subscription within a specific timeframe, usually 14 days from purchase or from when you receive clear cancellation terms. Your legal position is strong: if Walmart makes cancellation deliberately difficult or obscures the cancellation process, this may violate provincial consumer protection rules.

Additionally, if you were charged without your explicit, informed consent, or if auto-renewal occurred without clear prior notice, you have grounds to dispute the charge with your credit card company or bank. This means you can request a chargeback or refund directly from your payment provider if Walmart refuses to cooperate. Document all communications, billing dates, and screenshots so you have evidence if you need to escalate.

Who to contact if Walmart refuses to help

If you cancel Delivery Pass but remain charged, or if you believe you were enrolled without proper consent, contact your provincial consumer protection office. These agencies enforce subscription cancellation rules and can investigate complaints on your behalf.

• Ontario: Ontario Ministry of Consumer Protection (serviceontario.ca)
• British Columbia: Consumer Protection BC (consumerprotectionbc.ca)
• Alberta: Alberta Fair Trading Act Complaint Resolution Process
• Manitoba: Manitoba Consumer Protection Office (gov.mb.ca/cca)
• Quebec: Office of the Ombudsman and Consumer Protection
• Other provinces: Contact your provincial Attorney General's office

These offices are free to contact and investigate complaints against companies that ignore cancellation requests or bill without authorization. Your provincial body is your enforcement lever if Walmart doesn't respond quickly.

How to cancel delivery pass in three methods

Walmart Canada gives you multiple ways to cancel Delivery Pass. Choose the method that works best for your situation.

Method 1: cancel through your walmart.ca account

This is the fastest and most direct cancellation route. You cancel directly through your account settings, and Walmart confirms cancellation immediately. Follow these steps.

1. Go to Walmart.ca and log in with your email and password.
   • If you don't remember your password, click "Forgot password" and reset it using your registered email.
2. Click on your account profile icon in the top right corner.
   • On mobile, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) and select "Account".
3. Select "Your account" or "Account settings".
   • Look for "Subscriptions" or "Delivery Pass" in the menu.
4. Find "Delivery Pass" and click "Manage" or "View details".
   • You may see a button that says "Cancel membership" or "End subscription".
5. Click "Cancel" or "End subscription" and follow the confirmation prompts.
   • Walmart may ask why you're cancelling. You're not required to explain, but you can leave feedback if you wish.
6. Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
   • You should receive an email confirmation immediately. Save this email for your records.

This method takes 5 minutes and generates an immediate digital receipt. Keep the confirmation email as proof in case any charges appear after your cancellation date.

Method 2: contact Walmart customer service

If you can't find the cancellation option online or prefer to cancel by phone, you can call Walmart Canada customer service. This method creates a record with a human representative.

1. Call Walmart Canada customer service at 1-800-960-3415 (toll-free).
   • Hours are typically 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern Time, Monday to Sunday. Confirm current hours before calling.
2. Press the appropriate menu option for account or subscription help.
   • Listen carefully to the phone menu and select the option for billing or account services.
3. When a representative answers, say: "I'd like to cancel my Delivery Pass membership."
   • Be clear and direct. The representative will pull up your account and ask for verification (email, last four digits of your payment method, etc.).
4. Ask the representative to confirm the cancellation date in writing by email.
   • Tell them: "Please send me a cancellation confirmation email to my registered email address."
5. Request the representative's name and reference number.
   • Write this down immediately. You'll use it if you need to escalate a dispute later.

Phone cancellation works well if you want human confirmation, but email proof is essential. If the representative refuses to send written confirmation, ask for a supervisor and repeat your request.

Method 3: send a cancellation request by email or registered mail

If Walmart's online system doesn't work or customer service doesn't respond promptly, you can send a formal cancellation request. This creates a paper trail that satisfies legal requirements.

1. Draft a cancellation email to Walmart's customer service email address ([email protected] or the address listed on your account).
   • Write your full name, email address, account phone number, and the last four digits of your payment method.
   • State clearly: "I request immediate cancellation of my Delivery Pass membership effective immediately. Please confirm this cancellation in writing."
2. Send the email and request a read receipt.
   • This proves Walmart received your cancellation request on a specific date and time.
3. If you don't receive a response within 5 business days, send the request by registered mail.
   • Use Canada Post's "Signature on Delivery" service so you have proof of delivery.
4. Address your registered mail to:
   • Walmart Canada Customer Service, [Corporate Address - check Walmart.ca/contact for current mailing address]
5. Include your cancellation request in the letter along with copies of your account details and billing statements.
   • Keep copies of everything you send.

Registered mail is the strongest legal evidence that you requested cancellation. If Walmart later claims they never received your request, you have Canada Post's signature confirmation as proof.

Timeline for cancellation and when charges stop

Understanding when your cancellation takes effect and when charges stop is crucial to protecting yourself from surprise billing.

Immediate cancellation (next-day option)

When you cancel through your Walmart.ca account, cancellation typically takes effect immediately. Your Delivery Pass membership ends that same day, and you will not be charged for the next billing cycle. If you cancel on day 15 of your monthly cycle, you lose the remaining days without a prorated refund.

End-of-cycle cancellation (if you prefer)

Some members prefer to use their Delivery Pass for the remainder of their current billing period before cancellation kicks in. Walmart may offer this option when you attempt to cancel. If you choose this, your membership remains active until your next renewal date, at which point it cancels permanently and no renewal charge occurs.

Check your cancellation confirmation email to see which date applies to you. If the email says "Your membership will end on [date]," then charges stop on that date.

Refunds and credit for early cancellation

If you cancel mid-cycle, Walmart's refund policy depends on how long you've been a member and your province's consumer protection rules.

Refund eligibility

If you cancel within 14 days of signing up, most provincial consumer protection laws entitle you to a full refund, no questions asked. This 14-day window is your statutory right to change your mind about any subscription purchase. After 14 days, Walmart typically does not offer refunds for unused service time, though your membership stops immediately and no future charges occur.

However, if Walmart enrolled you without clear consent or if you were charged due to an error, you have grounds to request a refund even after 14 days. In these cases, contact your provincial consumer protection office or request a chargeback through your bank.

How to request a refund

1. Contact Walmart customer service at 1-800-960-3415 with your account details and cancellation date.
   • Explain that you cancelled within 14 days of purchase and request a full refund.
2. If you cancelled after 14 days due to unauthorized charges or misleading enrollment, request a refund and explain the circumstances.
   • Stay calm and factual. Provide dates and details of what happened.
3. If Walmart denies your refund request, contact your bank or credit card company and request a chargeback.
   • Your bank can reverse charges if you can prove Walmart charged you without authorization or if the service was misrepresented.

Refunds are not guaranteed after 14 days unless you have proof of unauthorized charges or enrollment fraud. This is why Tocancel recommends cancelling as soon as you know Delivery Pass isn't for you.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling

Many Canadians accidentally extend their Delivery Pass membership or fail to generate proof of cancellation. These mistakes are avoidable if you know where the pitfalls are.

Mistake 1: assuming cancellation worked without confirmation

After you click "cancel" on Walmart.ca, your screen may not immediately show a confirmation message. Some users assume they've cancelled when in fact the system never processed the request. Check your email inbox (and spam folder) for a confirmation from Walmart within 24 hours. If you don't see one, repeat the cancellation steps or contact customer service. Never assume silence means success with subscriptions.

Mistake 2: cancelling your payment method instead of delivery pass

If you remove your credit card or debit card from your Walmart account hoping to stop charges, Walmart may simply flag your account and fail your next payment without cancelling the membership. You'll then owe an unpaid balance or Walmart may attempt to collect the debt later. Always cancel the membership itself through your account settings, not just the payment method.

Mistake 3: timing cancellation close to your renewal date

If your monthly membership renews on the 20th and you cancel on the 18th, Walmart may still charge you on the 20th before your cancellation processes. To avoid this, cancel at least 3 to 5 days before your renewal date. Check your account to see when your next charge is due, then plan accordingly.

Mistake 4: not keeping cancellation proof

If you cancel over the phone or by email and don't save the confirmation, you have no evidence if Walmart later disputes your cancellation or charges you again. Always download and save cancellation emails, screenshots of your account showing "cancelled" status, and any reference numbers provided by customer service representatives.

After cancellation: what happens next

Once your Delivery Pass cancellation is confirmed, your membership ends on the specified date. Here's what to expect.

Your walmart.ca account continues to work

Cancelling Delivery Pass does not delete your Walmart.ca account or stop you from shopping. You can still browse and purchase items; you simply lose the free next-day delivery benefit. Shipping fees will apply to future orders unless you reach a free shipping threshold or choose in-store pickup.

Monitor your bank statements

For two billing cycles after your cancellation date, check your credit card or bank statement to confirm no further Delivery Pass charges appear. If you see a charge after your confirmed cancellation date, contact Walmart immediately and reference your cancellation confirmation. If Walmart refuses to credit you, file a dispute with your bank within 30 days of the unauthorized charge.

You can rejoin anytime

Cancelling Delivery Pass doesn't lock you out. If you change your mind in the future, you can sign up for Delivery Pass again whenever you like. Your shopping history and account information remain intact.

Cancellation checklist: ensure nothing goes wrong

Use this checklist before and after cancellation to protect yourself from billing surprises and ensure Walmart doesn't try to charge you again.

Comparing delivery pass to alternatives

If you're cancelling Delivery Pass because it doesn't meet your needs, here's how it compares to other Canadian shopping options.

Delivery Pass is Walmart's most competitive offering for pure next-day delivery, but Amazon Prime and Costco provide additional benefits that may justify their higher cost. Consider your shopping frequency, delivery area coverage, and desire for non-shopping perks when deciding whether to cancel or switch.

Resolving disputes if Walmart refuses to honour your cancellation

In rare cases, Walmart may refuse to cancel your membership or may continue billing after your cancellation date. You have escalation options.

Step 1: document everything

Gather all evidence: cancellation confirmation emails, screenshots of your account showing cancellation, phone call reference numbers, registered mail delivery receipts, and bank statements showing unwanted charges. Tocancel recommends organizing this in a single folder so you have everything ready if you need to escalate.

Step 2: contact Walmart escalation team

Email Walmart's corporate customer service address and reference your cancellation confirmation plus the unwanted charges. Use formal language and state the facts clearly. Example: "I cancelled my Delivery Pass on [date] as confirmed by [reference number]. Despite this, I was charged on [date]. I request an immediate refund and confirmation that no future charges will occur."

Step 3: request a chargeback from your bank

If Walmart ignores your escalation after 10 business days, contact your bank or credit card company and request a chargeback. Provide your bank with copies of your cancellation confirmation and the unwanted charges. Your bank can reverse charges if Walmart failed to honour your cancellation request.

Step 4: file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection office

If the chargeback fails or if Walmart retaliates against you, contact your provincial consumer protection office. These agencies investigate subscription cancellation violations and can issue enforcement orders against companies that refuse to stop billing.

Final steps: take action today with tocancel

Cancelling Delivery Pass is straightforward when you know your rights and follow the correct process.
