Green Chef, founded in 2014, is a certified organic meal kit service that delivers recipes and pre-portioned ingredients to your door. Maybe you signed up after seeing a wellness influencer's glowing review, but now the weekly cost is adding up or you're just tired of cooking. It happens. With plans ranging from $75 to over $150 a week, you can save up to $4,000 a year by canceling. This guide covers how to cancel on your desktop or mobile device so you can stop the charges without the headache.
How to Cancel Green Chef on Desktop or Laptop
Canceling your Green Chef subscription is most reliable on a computer. The mobile experience can be a little clunky, so this is your best bet to get it done without any hitches.
1 Log In to Your Account
First, head over to the Green Chef website and log in. You'll need your email and password. If you've forgotten it, you'll have to go through the password reset process, which can be a bit of a pain.
2 Navigate to Your Account Settings
Once you're in, look for your name in the top right corner of the page. Click on it, and a dropdown menu will appear. Select 'Account Info' from this menu to proceed.
3 Find the Plan Settings
On the Account Info page, you'll see several tabs. You need to click on the 'Plan Settings' tab. This is where they hide all the important stuff about your subscription.
4 Deactivate Your Subscription
Scroll down to the bottom of the Plan Settings page. You should see a section for deactivating your plan. Click the 'Deactivate Your Plan' button. They don't make it super obvious, so you might have to look carefully.
5 Follow the Prompts and Confirm
Green Chef will likely ask you why you're leaving and might offer you a discount to stay. If you're sure you want to cancel, just follow the prompts until you get a final confirmation message. Make sure you see that confirmation; otherwise, it might not have gone through.
How to Cancel Green Chef on iPhone (iOS)
You won't find a Green Chef subscription under your Apple ID. The cancellation process for iOS devices is done through their mobile website, not an app.
1 Open Your Mobile Browser
Grab your iPhone and open Safari or Chrome. You can't cancel through the App Store because Green Chef manages subscriptions directly on their website. It's a common point of confusion.
2 Go to the Green Chef Website and Log In
Navigate to GreenChef.com and tap the login button. Enter your credentials to access your account dashboard.
3 Access Your Account Menu
Tap the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines) in the top corner. From there, select 'Account Info'. The layout is a bit different on mobile, so things might be in slightly different places.
4 Go to Plan Settings
Within your account area, find and tap on 'Plan Settings'. You might need to scroll a bit to find it.
5 Deactivate Your Plan
Scroll all the way to the bottom of the Plan Settings page and tap 'Deactivate Your Plan'. You'll have to go through a few confirmation screens. Keep tapping until you see a message confirming your plan is deactivated.
How to Cancel Green Chef on Android
Just like with iPhones, you have to cancel Green Chef through their website on your Android phone. Don't bother looking in the Google Play Store, it won't be there.
1 Use a Web Browser
Open Chrome or your preferred browser on your Android device. Green Chef subscriptions are not managed through the Google Play Store, so you have to do it manually on their site.
2 Log In to Your Green Chef Account
Head to the Green Chef website and log in with your email and password. This will take you to your main account page.
3 Find Your Account Information
Tap the menu icon, which is typically in the top corner of the screen. In the menu that pops up, find and select 'Account Info'.
4 Navigate to Plan Settings
Once you're in the account section, look for the 'Plan Settings' tab or link. Tap on it to manage your subscription details.
5 Confirm Deactivation
At the bottom of the page, you'll find the 'Deactivate Your Plan' option. Tap it and follow the on-screen instructions. They'll ask for feedback, but you can skip through it to finalize the cancellation.
Cancel Green Chef by Phone or Live Chat
If navigating the website feels like a chore, you can contact their customer support directly. It's sometimes faster.
- Phone Support: Call them at (888) 236-7295. Their support is available Monday to Sunday, from 6 AM to 11 PM EST. Have your account information ready before you call.
- Live Chat: You can find a live chat option on their website's help center. This is often quicker than calling, but you might have to wait a few minutes for an agent to become available.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
Before you hit that deactivate button, here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Cancellation Deadline: You must cancel or pause your account by the weekly cut-off time, which is 11:59 PM EST, 7 days before your next scheduled delivery date. If you miss it, you will be charged for and receive the next box. No exceptions.
- Deactivation vs. Deletion: Canceling (or 'deactivating') your plan doesn't delete your account. It just stops future deliveries and payments. Your information, including past recipes, will still be there if you decide to come back.
- Refunds: Green Chef generally does not offer refunds for charges that have already been processed. If you forgot to cancel before the deadline, you're likely stuck with that final box.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Green Chef Subscription?
It can be frustrating when you can't find the cancel button. Here are a few things to try:
- Check the Cut-Off Time: If your next delivery is less than 7 days away, the system might prevent you from canceling online. You'll need to contact customer support directly in this case.
- Try a Different Browser: Sometimes website glitches are browser-specific. Try canceling from a different browser (like Chrome or Firefox) or use an incognito window.
- Clear Your Cache: Old data stored in your browser can cause issues. Clear your browser's cache and cookies, then try logging in again.
- Use a Desktop Computer: The cancellation process is most reliable on a desktop or laptop. The mobile site can sometimes be buggy. Honestly, I had to try twice on my phone before it worked.
- Contact Support: When all else fails, just call them at (888) 236-7295 or use their live chat. They can cancel the subscription for you on their end.
