History Unboxed, founded around 2015, delivers hands-on history lessons in a box, which is a cool idea until the boxes start piling up in the corner. Maybe the kids got into the historical drama Bridgerton for a minute, but now they're back to their tablets. It happens. With plans ranging from $39.95 to $49.95, you could save up to $600 a year by canceling a subscription you're not using. This guide covers how to cancel on their website, since that's pretty much the only way to do it.
How to Cancel History Unboxed Subscription on Website
Canceling has to be done through your account on their website. It's not super obvious, and honestly, it feels like they hide it a little. Don't try to do it from a confirmation email, it won't work. Just log in directly on a desktop, it seems to work better than mobile.
1 Log In to Your Account
First, head over to the History Unboxed website and find the login page. It's usually in the top right corner. Enter your email and password to get in.
2 Go to 'My Account'
Once you're logged in, look for a link that says 'My Account' or something similar. This is where your subscription information lives. I had to look around for a bit, the link is kind of small.
3 Find Your Active Subscription
You should see a section detailing your current subscription plan. It will show the box type and your next renewal date. This is the part you need to pay close attention to.
4 Click to Cancel Subscription
There should be a 'Cancel' or 'Manage Subscription' button. It might not be obvious, so look carefully. One user on a forum mentioned they had to scroll way down to even see it, which is just annoying design. Click it.
5 Confirm the Cancellation
They'll probably ask you for a reason why you're leaving. You can skip this if you want. Just make sure you hit the final 'Confirm Cancellation' button. Don't close the page until you see a confirmation message on screen.
Cancel History Unboxed Subscription with email
If you're stuck or the website is acting up, you can email them at hello@historyunboxed.com. Don't expect an instant reply. It could take a couple of business days, so this is not the best option if your renewal date is tomorrow. Be very clear in your subject line, like 'Cancellation Request for Subscription'.
Before you cancel, know this: History Unboxed does not offer refunds. Once a box has been paid for or shipped, that's it. All sales are final. You also can't pause your subscription, so your only options are keeping it or canceling it completely. Your account data will likely remain unless you specifically ask them to delete it.
