Cancellation and Renewal Complaints
Bookroo's cancellation policy says recurring subscriptions can be canceled any time by emailing support with the name and/or email on the account. The policy says the request must be sent by 11:59 PM PST on the 15th of the month to not receive that month's box. If the cancellation email is sent between renewal on the 15th and 11:59 PM PST that same day, the customer is eligible for a full refund of that renewal.
Use this table:

| Need to cancel future boxes |

| Emailed before cutoff |

| Wrong account email |
Provide name, address, possible emails |
| Recurring gift subscription |

| One-time gift subscription |
Ask for written policy explanation |
Use precise wording. A request to cancel recurring renewal is different from asking for a refund for a box already in process.
Refund and Return Complaints
Bookroo's terms say refund requests must be made directly to Bookroo at support@bookroo.com. For the first subscription box, refund requests must be made within 30 days of the first shipment date. The terms say Bookroo can refund the amount paid for the first month's box, less non-refundable shipping and handling costs or fees, after return instructions are followed.
Use this table:
| Refund issue |

| First box dissatisfaction |

If Bookroo does not respond within 3 business days after a refund request, its terms say to resubmit the request.
Damaged, Wrong, or Missing Books
Bookroo's terms say if the product arrives damaged or not substantially as described, Bookroo will send a replacement if photo documentation is sent to support@bookroo.com within 48 hours of delivery based on USPS tracking data. The terms also say customers are eligible for a full refund of the product price and original shipping costs if they received the incorrect book or if it arrived damaged.

For damaged products, send photos quickly and keep the delivery timestamp.
Gifts, One-Time Terms, and School Accounts
Bookroo's cancellation help distinguishes one-time gift subscriptions from recurring gift subscriptions. It says one-time gift subscriptions for 1, 3, 6, or 12 months are not eligible for cancellation and expire after the original term. Recurring gift subscriptions renew at the selected frequency until canceled by the monthly cutoff.

Evidence |

Ask support to confirm whether the gift is one-time or recurring before disputing a renewal.
Account, Address, and Privacy Requests
Bookroo support covers account login, address changes, reading platform accounts, school accounts, and privacy questions. Address changes should be sent before a renewal or shipment is processed.
