Cancel from your Factor account

If Factor bills you directly, deactivate the plan from Plan Settings before the cutoff for the next delivery. Factor's current guide says the cutoff is 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time, five days before delivery. Use the account tied to the email address on your Factor receipt.

  1. Sign in to your Factor account.
  2. Open Plan Settings.
  3. Scroll to Status, then choose Deactivate My Plan.
  4. Choose an option or select Cancel Anyway.
  5. Select a reason, then choose Deactivate Now.
  6. Check whether the next scheduled order is still active.
  7. Save the confirmation email or final account screen.

Meal-kit subscriptions often run on weekly ordering deadlines, so the timing matters. If a box has already processed, cancellation may affect the following week instead.

Cancel in the Factor iPhone app

Factor's current iOS instructions use account deactivation:

  1. Open Factor and sign in.
  2. Tap the three-line menu in the top-right corner.
  3. Open Settings, then Personal Information.
  4. Scroll down and choose Delete Account.
  5. Choose Continue to deactivate.
  6. Check the delivery schedule and save the final confirmation.

Factor describes deactivation as skipping deliveries indefinitely, with the option to reactivate later. Because that wording is unusual, confirm that no future delivery remains scheduled.

Pause, skip, and cancel are different

Factor may show options to skip a week, pause deliveries, change meal count, or cancel. Those are not the same.

  • Skip can stop one delivery but leave the plan active.
  • Pause can delay deliveries but keep the account ready to restart.
  • Changing the meal count can lower the order but keep billing active.
  • Canceling should stop future recurring orders after the effective date.

Read the final screen carefully and make sure it says the plan is canceled if that is your goal.

Save the weekly cutoff

After canceling, record:

  • the Factor account email
  • the cancellation date
  • the next box date
  • the 11:59 p.m. Pacific cutoff five days before that delivery
  • whether a box has already processed
  • the final charge you expect
  • any meals, credits, or discounts still in the account

That record is useful if you restart later or if another weekly charge appears.

Keep weekly food subscriptions visible

Canceling Factor handles one meal subscription. Orbit helps you keep the rest visible.

Add the food, fitness, streaming, and software subscriptions you want to keep, see what renews next, and set reminders before regular charges are due. Weekly plans are easy to miss because the next charge comes around quickly.
