Cancel Misfits Market: The Right Way

How to cancel Misfits Market in canada and understand your refund rights

What is Misfits Market and why you might want to cancel

Misfits Market is a US-based grocery subscription service that delivers surplus and cosmetically imperfect produce, pantry staples, and specialty items directly to your Canadian address. The service operates a flexible pay-as-you-go model alongside a paid Misfits+ membership tier that locks in discounted pricing and adjusted delivery schedules. If you signed up expecting cost savings but find the service no longer fits your budget, lifestyle, or quality expectations, you have the right to cancel without penalty or hidden fees. Tocancel is here to walk you through your cancellation options with clarity and confidence.

Many Canadian households subscribe to Misfits Market attracted by lower grocery costs and its sustainability mission, but billing surprises, inconsistent delivery, or changing shopping habits often prompt cancellation. Understanding your cancellation timeline, refund eligibility, and consumer protection rights before you act protects you from unwanted charges and frustration.

When cancellation makes sense

You may want to cancel if recurring charges continue despite pausing orders, if the delivery frequency no longer suits your household rhythm, or if product quality or pricing no longer delivers the value you expected. Cancel before your next billing cycle begins to avoid charges you cannot recover.

The scope of this guide

This guide walks you through every cancellation method Misfits Market offers, explains what happens to your account and any unused credits after you cancel, details your refund rights under Canadian consumer law, and flags common traps that delay cancellation or trigger billing disputes. Whether you cancel online, by phone, or through certified mail, you will know exactly what to expect and how to protect yourself.

Your consumer protection rights in canada

Before you cancel, know what Canadian law guarantees you as a consumer entering a distance contract with a US-based grocery service.

Statutory cooling-off periods by province

Distance-sale contracts-which include grocery subscriptions ordered online-fall under provincial consumer protection legislation that mandates clear cancellation pathways and statutory cooling-off periods. Most Canadian provinces allow you to cancel distance contracts within 10 to 14 business days of receipt of goods, though specifics vary by province.

If Misfits Market's own cancellation terms conflict with your provincial statutory right, the statutory right prevails. Keep this legal leverage if the company refuses a refund.

Your legal position and escalation pathway

If Misfits Market denies a refund or ignores your cancellation request, you can file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority. Your provincial regulator has the power to investigate the company and force a refund if they find a breach of consumer protection law.

You may also dispute the charge with your credit card issuer via a chargeback claim if the company fails to process your cancellation or refund. Tocancel recommends keeping screenshots of your cancellation request, email confirmations, transaction records, and any communication with customer support to support your complaint.

Your legal right to cancel is backed by provincial law-you do not need the company's permission to exercise it.

How to cancel your Misfits Market subscription

Misfits Market offers three cancellation routes, each with distinct timing and documentation requirements.

Cancelling online via your Misfits Market account

The fastest and most documented method is cancelling through the Misfits Market website or mobile app. This leaves an automatic record of your request and ensures the company processes your cancellation promptly.

1. Log in to your Misfits Market account at misfitsmarket.com using your email and password.
   • If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link on the login page and follow the email reset instructions.
2. Navigate to "Account Settings" or "My Account" in the top menu or sidebar.
   • On mobile, this may appear as a gear icon or hamburger menu.
3. Select "Subscription" or "Membership" from the account menu.
   • You should see your current subscription status and next delivery date.
4. Click "Pause subscription" or "Cancel subscription" depending on whether you want to pause temporarily or end entirely.
   • Read the cancellation confirmation carefully-note any final billing date or credit refund terms.
5. Select your reason for cancellation from the dropdown menu (cost, delivery frequency, product quality, etc.).
   • Your feedback helps the company understand why customers leave and may influence retention offers.
6. Confirm your cancellation request.
   • You should immediately receive an on-screen confirmation and a confirmation email within minutes.
7. Take a screenshot of the confirmation page and save the confirmation email for your records.
   • This screenshot is your proof of cancellation if a dispute later arises.

Online cancellation is processed immediately and leaves an automatic digital trail. Save this confirmation-it is your strongest evidence if billing continues after cancellation.

Cancelling by phone

If you prefer direct contact or encounter technical issues with the online method, you can cancel by calling Misfits Market's customer support team. Phone cancellation allows you to ask clarifying questions about refunds or active credits before finalising your request.

1. Call Misfits Market customer support at their Canada-facing phone number (verify the current number on their website, as contact details may change).
   • Note the date and time of your call for your records.
2. Confirm you are speaking with a customer service representative and provide your account email address or account number.
   • A representative should verify your identity before discussing your account.
3. Clearly state: "I would like to cancel my subscription effective immediately" or specify your desired cancellation date.
   • Be specific about whether you want to cancel Misfits+ membership, the Grocery Subscription, or both.
4. Ask the representative to confirm:
   • Your cancellation is processed and no further charges will occur after today.
   • Whether any unused credits or Misfits+ memberships fees will be refunded.
   • The date your cancellation takes effect.
   • When you will receive a cancellation confirmation email.
5. Request the representative email you a written cancellation confirmation.
   • This email is your secondary proof if the company disputes your cancellation date later.
6. Write down the representative's name, call time, and confirmation details immediately after the call.
   • Include this information in your personal cancellation file.

Phone cancellation is effective if you document the representative's name and confirmation details, but online cancellation leaves a stronger automatic record.

Cancelling via certified mail for formal notice

For formal cancellation notices-especially if you are pursuing a refund dispute or have experienced repeated billing errors-use certified mail to provide a dated, legal record that the company received your request.

1. Write a cancellation letter on your personal letterhead or in plain text. Include:
   • Your full name, account email, and account number (if known).
   • Your mailing address and phone number.
   • The date of the letter.
   • A clear statement: "I hereby cancel my Misfits Market subscription effective immediately. I request confirmation of this cancellation and a refund of any unused credits or prepaid fees."
   • Specific details of any billing errors or quality issues prompting cancellation (optional but strengthens your case if a dispute arises).
2. Print and sign two copies of your letter.
   • Keep one copy for your records.
3. Send your letter via Canada Post Xpresspost with a tracking number and signature on receipt (raccomandata A/R equivalent in Canada is Canada Post's Xpresspost with delivery confirmation).
   • This creates a dated, signed record that the company received your cancellation notice.
4. Mail to Misfits Market's registered agent in Canada or their US headquarters (verify the current mailing address on their website or via their customer support contact page).
   • Include both the street address and any suite or department numbers for accuracy.
5. Keep the Canada Post tracking number and receipt until you receive a cancellation confirmation or refund.
   • You can track your letter online and prove delivery to the company if needed later.
6. Follow up with an email to customer support referencing your certified letter and requesting acknowledgement of receipt.
   • This creates a second document trail confirming your intent to cancel.

Certified mail is your strongest legal evidence if Misfits Market disputes when you cancelled or refuses to honour your cancellation request. Use this method if you have experienced billing errors or quality issues that may require a formal complaint to a provincial authority.

What happens to your credits and subscription after cancellation

Understanding what occurs to your account after you cancel protects you from losing money or being charged unexpectedly.

How credits and unused funds are handled

If you have unused credits, store credits, or prepaid Misfits+ membership fees at the time of cancellation, Misfits Market's refund policy dictates whether you receive a refund or the credits expire. Check your account for any active credits before cancelling.

• Unused store credits from promotions or account credits may expire 30 to 90 days after cancellation depending on the promotion terms.
• Prepaid Misfits+ membership fees are typically refunded on a prorated basis (you receive a refund for unused months).
• If you cancel mid-billing cycle, the company may refund the unused portion of your current cycle.

Ask Misfits Market customer support to calculate your refund amount before you cancel. Request that any refund be processed to your original payment method within 5 to 10 business days.

Account reactivation after cancellation

After you cancel, your account remains dormant but not permanently deleted. Misfits Market typically allows you to reactivate your account by logging back in and restarting your subscription, though special promotional offers may not apply if you rejoin later.

If you cancel and later receive a "win-back" promotional offer (discounted first month, bonus credits, etc.), this is a marketing incentive-you are not obligated to accept it. Tocancel advises reviewing any new terms carefully before reactivating, as promotional terms may differ from your original agreement.

Understanding Misfits Market pricing and subscription options

Knowing what you are paying for helps you decide whether cancellation is the right choice or if pausing temporarily makes more financial sense.

Before you cancel, review your account to confirm you understand which fees are recurring and which are one-time. Tocancel recommends requesting an itemised account statement from customer support to see exactly what you are being charged and whether pausing temporarily would save you money.

Common cancellation mistakes that delay or complicate your refund

Many Canadian consumers cancel Misfits Market only to find their account was paused instead of cancelled, or billing continued weeks after they thought they had stopped it. Avoiding these traps ensures your cancellation sticks and your refund is processed.

Pausing instead of cancelling

Misfits Market allows you to "pause" your subscription temporarily, which is different from cancelling. If you click "pause" instead of "cancel," your subscription remains active and billing resumes automatically after the pause period ends. Always select "cancel" if you want to end your subscription permanently.

Cancelling after the billing cycle has begun

If you cancel after your next billing cycle has started, you may still be charged for that cycle. To avoid an unwanted charge, cancel at least one day before your next scheduled delivery or billing date. Log into your account to confirm your next billing date before submitting your cancellation request.

Not confirming your cancellation via email

If you cancel online but do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours, contact customer support immediately to verify your cancellation was processed. Some customers report that their cancellation requests disappeared from the system without confirmation, and billing continued unchecked.

Failing to document your cancellation

If you cancel by phone and do not request a written confirmation, you have no proof the company received your request. Always save screenshots, confirmation emails, and certified mail receipts. This documentation is essential if you later need to file a complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority or pursue a chargeback with your credit card issuer.

Confusing promotional credits with refundable funds

Promotional store credits (e.g., "CAD $10 off your next order") are not refundable when you cancel. They expire. However, if you prepaid for Misfits+ membership or a multi-week bundle, you are entitled to a refund of the unused portion. Ask customer support to clarify which funds are refundable before you cancel.

Tocancel advises taking 5 minutes to confirm your cancellation details with customer support before finalising your request-it prevents costly mistakes later.

After you cancel: what to expect and how to follow up

Cancellation does not end the moment you click "confirm." You need to monitor your account and payment method to ensure the company honours your request.

Confirming no further charges appear

Check your credit card or bank account statement one week after you cancel to confirm no new charges from Misfits Market appear. Set a calendar reminder to check again at your previous billing date to catch any delayed charges.

If a charge appears after your cancellation date, contact your bank or credit card issuer immediately and report the charge as unauthorised. You have the right to dispute it via a chargeback claim if the company refuses to reverse it. Tocancel recommends keeping your cancellation confirmation and bank statements together in case you need to escalate this dispute to your provincial consumer protection authority.

Following up if you do not receive a refund

Refunds for unused Misfits+ fees or prepaid credits typically process within 5 to 10 business days. If 14 days have passed and your refund has not appeared on your statement, email customer support with your cancellation confirmation and ask for a status update.

Include in your email:

• Your cancellation confirmation email or screenshot.
• The refund amount you are expecting.
• Your original payment method (credit card last 4 digits or bank account type).
• A request for written confirmation of when your refund will be processed.

Escalating if the company ignores your cancellation

If Misfits Market continues charging your account after 7 business days past your cancellation date, or if the company does not respond to your refund request within 10 business days, file a formal complaint with your provincial consumer protection authority.

Tocancel helps thousands of Canadian consumers navigate disputes like this by providing them with a clear escalation pathway. Contact your provincial regulator with copies of your cancellation confirmation, bank statements showing unauthorised charges, and any unanswered emails to customer support. The regulator can compel the company to refund you and investigate for violations of consumer protection law.
