Subscribe & Save and Blue Apron+ Cancellation Complaints
Blue Apron's Subscribe & Save FAQ says customers can cancel by going to Account, opening Subscribe & Save, tapping Cancel Plan, and following prompts to confirm. It says there is no cancellation fee and settings are saved if the customer re-enrolls.
Blue Apron's Blue Apron+ FAQ says customers can cancel by going to Account, opening Blue Apron+, tapping Cancel Membership, and following prompts. If the membership is canceled, benefits remain active until the end of the current billing cycle.
Use this table:
| Cancellation issue |
Complaint focus |
| Need to cancel Subscribe & Save |
Use Account -> Subscribe & Save -> Cancel Plan |
| Need to cancel Blue Apron+ |
Use Account -> Blue Apron+ -> Cancel Membership |
| Charged after cancellation |
Provide cancellation screenshot and charge date |
| Benefits still active |
Blue Apron+ continues through billing cycle |
| Subscribe & Save settings remain |
Blue Apron says settings are saved if re-enrolled |
| Multiple products active |
Review Subscribe & Save and Blue Apron+ separately |
| App or account issue |
Provide account email and screenshot |
Do not treat canceling Blue Apron+ as the same as canceling Subscribe & Save. They are different account items.
Processed Orders, Refunds, and Blue Apron+ Charges
Blue Apron's terms say Blue Apron+ subscriptions must be canceled before the scheduled billing date to stop the next monthly or annual period. The terms also state that any Autoship orders identified as Processing or Shipped on the Upcoming page cannot be canceled, and the customer is responsible for charges for those orders if they were identified as Processing or Shipped before the Autoship subscription was canceled.
Use this table:
| Billing issue |
Evidence |
| Blue Apron+ renewal |
Billing date, cancellation screenshot, membership status |
| Autoship order processing |
Upcoming page status and cancellation time |
| Shipped order |
Tracking and order status |
| Duplicate-looking charge |
Receipts and account email |
| Refund request |
Receipt, order status, issue details |
| Credit request |
Support response and order issue |
| Blue Apron+ benefits issue |
Billing cycle and membership screen |
If the order is already Processing or Shipped, frame the complaint around delivery, ingredient quality, missing item, or Freshness Guarantee rather than assuming order cancellation is still possible.
Missing Ingredients, Unusable Items, and Freshness Guarantee
Blue Apron's support article says customers should email contact@blueapron.com within 7 days of delivery if ingredients or items are missing or do not arrive ready to enjoy. It asks customers to attach a photo of affected meals or ingredients if possible. The article says Blue Apron cannot send replacement meals or ingredients, but will work with the customer to make it right.
Blue Apron's food safety page also references a Freshness Guarantee program for missing items or ingredient quality concerns.
Use this table:
| Food issue |
Evidence |
| Missing ingredient |
Meal name, missing item, delivery date |
| Unusable ingredient |
Photos and item details |
| Warm ingredient |
Delivery time, photos, temperature if measured |
| Package damaged |
Photos of package and contents |
| Wrong meal |
Order confirmation and meal received |
| Prepared meal issue |
Item, delivery date, photos |
| Quality concern |
Ingredient, meal, photos, delivery date |
A strong Freshness Guarantee request is specific: one delivery date, one meal, one ingredient or item, photos, and the requested remedy.
Delivery, Food Safety, and Storage Complaints
Blue Apron's food safety page says customers should put perishable ingredients in the refrigerator immediately upon delivery. It also says customers may need to plan to ensure ingredients are properly stored right away depending on season and temperature in the delivery area.
