Cancellation Postmates: Easy Method
What is Postmates
Postmates is a delivery platform that connects customers with local restaurants and stores to order food, groceries and other items for delivery. Originally a U.S.-based service, Postmates historically offered a subscription (Postmates Unlimited) for fee-based delivery benefits; the service and its pricing are primarily documented for the U.S. market.
In Canada, there is no localized Postmates pricing or official Canadian rollout; many Canadian users interact with Postmates features through apps or accounts that route to U.S. documentation and support channels.
How to cancel Postmates
- iPhone / Apple (iOS): If you subscribed to Postmates Unlimited via Apple, open iPhone Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Postmates Unlimited, then tap Cancel Subscription. See a step guide at blog.seesubs.com.
- Android / Google Play: If you subscribed via Google Play, open the Google Play Store → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions → Postmates Unlimited → Cancel Subscription. See instructions at blog.seesubs.com.
- Web or in-app (non-store subscriptions): Log into your Postmates (or Uber Eats, where applicable) account on the web or in the app, open Account or Subscriptions in Settings, and cancel from there. Cancel at least 24 hours before the next renewal to avoid being charged for the next period. More on account cancellation at blog.seesubs.com.
What happens when you cancel
When you cancel a subscription, your paid benefits generally continue until the end of the current billing cycle; you retain access through the period you already paid for, and the subscription will not renew after that date. Cancelling does not usually delete your Postmates account or order history - your account data and past receipts remain available unless you request account deletion via the platform's privacy settings or support.
Be aware that cancelling does not automatically trigger a refund for the remaining billing period in most cases; refunds are handled separately and are not guaranteed. If you need to preserve evidence for a claim (receipts, order IDs, screenshots), save or export those items before or immediately after cancelling.
Will I get a refund?
Postmates' official terms state that charges are final and non-refundable in many cases, but the company may provide refunds, promotional credits or courtesy adjustments at its discretion depending on the issue. For order problems (wrong or missing items) or service failures, Postmates has historically issued partial or full refunds depending on severity and verification.
Refund likelihood depends on the problem: minor errors sometimes result in partial credits, while clearly undelivered or totally incorrect orders are more likely to receive full refunds. Refund requests tied to deliveries should be submitted promptly - industry guidance and user reports indicate a 48-hour window for best eligibility. For further reading on refund practices see FairShake and ShopFood.
Postmates plans and pricing
| Plan | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Postmates Unlimited (subscription) | Varies | Not officially localized for Canada; publicly available pricing refers to U.S. rates and USD. |
| Per-order delivery fees | Varies | Fees differ by merchant, location and promotions; see app or web during checkout. |
Your consumer rights in Canada
Canadian consumers are protected by federal and provincial consumer protection laws that require honest representation and fair redress for services not delivered as promised. Even if a company’s terms state charges are “final,” Canadian statutory protections can override unfair contract terms - particularly where goods or services were not provided or were misrepresented.
If Postmates refuses a refund for undelivered or incorrect goods, you can escalate to provincial consumer protection agencies (for example, Ontario’s consumer services), file a complaint with the Competition Bureau or Better Business Bureau, or seek a chargeback through your credit card provider. These remedies are commonly used when platform claims cannot be resolved directly.
Customer experiences
Reviews are mixed. Some users praise Postmates for convenience, broad selection and helpful refunds or promotional credits when things go wrong. Platforms such as Trustpilot and Influenster contain positive notes about timeliness and customer service handling for many orders.
Negative feedback commonly concerns customer support responsiveness (difficulty reaching a live agent, repetitive bot responses), partial or denied refunds, wrong or missing items, and incorrect deliveries. Many consumers recommend saving documentation and escalating through payment disputes or consumer protection channels if standard support does not resolve the issue.
Documentation checklist
- Order ID / receipt and the date/time of delivery
- Confirmation emails, subscription receipts (App Store / Google Play receipts if applicable)
- Payment card statement or payment method proof
- Photos of wrong/missing items or delivery location
- In-app chat or support ticket transcripts and timestamps
- Screenshots of subscription status in App Store / Google Play / account settings
Common mistakes
Common mistakes include cancelling too close to the renewal time (after the 24-hour cutoff), deleting a payment method without cancelling the subscription (which can complicate disputes), and assuming cancellation in one place (app) covers a subscription billed through the app store - store-based subscriptions must be cancelled in the store. Another frequent error is not saving receipts, order IDs or photos immediately after the incident, which weakens refund or dispute claims.
Comparative recap
| Method | Refund | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Apple (App Store) subscription cancel | Possible but uncommon; refunds handled by Apple/Postmates case-by-case | Low difficulty to cancel; refund difficulty: Medium - High |
| Google Play subscription cancel | Possible but uncommon; refunds handled by Google/Postmates case-by-case | Low difficulty to cancel; refund difficulty: Medium - High |
| Web / in-app (direct) | Refunds discretionary; depends on proof and timing | Medium difficulty to cancel; refund difficulty: Medium |
After cancelling
After you cancel, keep documentation (receipts, screenshots, order IDs) until the billing period ends and for at least 60 days in case a dispute arises. If you believe you are entitled to a refund and Postmates support does not resolve it, consider contacting the App Store or Google Play refunds support pages, your bank for a chargeback, or your provincial consumer protection office. Helpful links: App Store subscriptions help at support.apple.com, Google Play subscriptions help at support.google.com, and consumer escalation via BBB.org or the Competition Bureau.
