Bookroo, founded in 2015, delivers curated children's books to your door. It's a sweet idea, but maybe the bookshelf is overflowing or the kids are suddenly obsessed with Bluey and won't look at anything else. If you're looking to cancel, you've come to the right place. Subscriptions run from $21.95 to $24.95, and you can manage your account on their website using a desktop or mobile browser. Canceling could save you up to $300 a year, which is a lot of extra cash for other things. This guide will help you cancel without any headaches.
How to Cancel Bookroo on Desktop or Laptop
Canceling your Bookroo subscription is most straightforward on a computer. The entire process is handled through their website, as there is no dedicated desktop app.
1 Go to the Bookroo Website and Log In
Open your preferred web browser and navigate to the Bookroo website. Click the 'Log In' button, usually found in the top-right corner, and enter your account credentials.
2 Access Your Account Dashboard
Once logged in, click on the 'My Account' link. This is typically located in the header or a dropdown menu under your name.
3 Navigate to the Subscriptions Section
In your account dashboard, look for a tab or link labeled 'My Subscriptions' or simply 'Subscriptions'. Click on it to see your active subscription details.
4 View Your Subscription Details
You will see your current Bookroo box subscription listed. Find and click the 'View' button next to the subscription you wish to cancel.
5 Initiate the Cancellation
On the subscription details page, you should see a 'Cancel' button or link. Click it to start the cancellation process. Honestly, I had to look for it for a second, it wasn't as obvious as I'd hoped.
6 Confirm Your Cancellation
Bookroo will likely ask you to confirm that you want to end your subscription. Follow the final prompts to complete the cancellation. You should receive a confirmation email shortly after.
How to Cancel Bookroo on iPhone (iOS)
You cannot cancel Bookroo through the App Store since the subscription is managed directly on their website. The steps below guide you through using your phone's browser.
1 Open Your Web Browser
Bookroo does not have an iOS app for managing subscriptions. You'll need to open Safari or another web browser on your iPhone.
2 Log Into Your Bookroo Account
Navigate to the Bookroo website. Tap the login button and enter your email and password to access your account.
3 Go to 'My Account'
Once you're in, tap the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines) and find the 'My Account' link. Tap it to go to your dashboard.
4 Find Your Subscriptions
In the account section, tap on 'My Subscriptions'. This will show you the plan you are currently signed up for.
5 Select and Cancel the Subscription
Tap the 'View' button next to your active subscription. On the next screen, scroll to find and tap the 'Cancel' button. It's the same process as on desktop, just a bit smaller.
6 Confirm the Cancellation
Follow the final on-screen instructions to confirm the cancellation. Make sure you get to the final confirmation screen and check your email for a cancellation notice.
How to Cancel Bookroo on Android
Your Bookroo subscription isn't managed through the Google Play Store. You'll need to log into their website from your phone's browser to cancel.
1 Open a Web Browser
Since Bookroo doesn't use the Google Play Store for billing, you need to use a web browser like Chrome on your Android device.
2 Navigate to the Bookroo Website
Go to the Bookroo homepage and tap the 'Log In' button. Enter your account details to sign in.
3 Access Your Account Dashboard
After logging in, tap the main menu icon and select 'My Account' from the list of options.
4 Open the Subscriptions Page
Inside your account area, find and tap on the 'My Subscriptions' link to manage your plan.
5 View and Cancel Your Plan
Tap 'View' next to the subscription you want to end. Then, find and tap the 'Cancel' button. The layout can be a little clunky on a smaller screen, so you might need to zoom in.
6 Finalize the Cancellation
Confirm your choice on the following screen. The cancellation is effective immediately, preventing future charges. Keep an eye out for that confirmation email.
Cancel by Email
If you're having trouble with the website, you can try canceling by emailing customer support.
- Email Address: [email protected]
In your email, be sure to include your full name, the email address associated with your Bookroo account, and a clear statement that you wish to cancel your subscription. Response times can vary, so this method is best used a week or more before your renewal date.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
- Refund Policy: Bookroo does not offer refunds for subscription renewals. You must cancel before your renewal date (the 15th of the month) to avoid being charged for and receiving the next box.
- Pause Instead of Canceling: If you just need a break, you can choose to 'Skip a Box' from within your account settings. This pauses your subscription for a month without canceling it completely.
- Account Status: Canceling your subscription stops future charges and deliveries. Your account will remain active, so you can log in and reactivate your subscription later if you choose.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Bookroo Subscription?
Sometimes things just don't work as expected. If you're running into issues, here are a few things to try:
- Check Your Renewal Date: Make sure you are canceling before the 15th of the month. If the renewal has already processed, you won't be able to cancel until after you receive the next box.
- Use a Desktop Computer: The cancellation process is often smoother and less glitchy on a desktop or laptop browser compared to a mobile device.
- Clear Your Browser Cache: Old data stored in your browser can sometimes cause issues. Try clearing your cache and cookies, or use an incognito/private browsing window to log in and cancel.
- Contact Support Directly: If all else fails, send an email to [email protected]. Explain the problem you're having and ask them to cancel the subscription for you manually. It might take a day or two, but they should be able to resolve it.
