Cancellation service #1 in Canada
Book Of The Month is a monthly book-subscription service that offers members a curated selection of new hardcover titles to choose from each month. Members can select one book per month as part of their membership, add additional books for a fee, skip months, and manage their subscription through the service’s website or the platform through which they subscribed.
When you cancel, future recurring charges should stop after your current paid period ends; you retain access to any benefits that remain valid for that billing period. Credits or selections already issued generally remain on your account, but the company’s policy and user reports indicate credits are typically non‑refundable. If you cancel during an initial promotional/commitment period, the terms of that offer may affect whether you can immediately stop shipments or charges - review your membership terms when you cancel.
Book Of The Month’s general policy is that refunds and returns are not provided, except for damaged or defective physical books. Credits issued by the service are generally non‑refundable. Some third‑party summaries suggest limited refund windows for certain circumstances (for example, eligibility tied to how many boxes shipped within a recent window), but these are not official policy statements. Anecdotal reports from users also describe difficulty obtaining refunds for accidental purchases or credits; in some cases customer service offered replacement credits instead of cash refunds. For official guidance, contact [email protected] or check the help center.

Canadian consumers are protected by provincial and federal consumer protection laws that can affect subscription terms such as cancellation rights, unfair contract terms, and cooling-off periods. These statutory rights operate alongside a merchant’s stated policy, so a blanket “no refund” policy may still be scrutinized under applicable provincial rules. If you believe your statutory rights have been violated, contact your provincial consumer protection office for guidance and keep records of communications with the company. For general background, see sources that discuss statutory rights alongside vendor policies: Book Lab - refund policy (example discussion of statutory rights).
Reviews are mixed. Many customers praise the service for curated selections, discovery of new authors, straightforward shipping, enjoyable packaging, and the convenience of skipping months or rolling credits forward. Positive reviews often mention responsive customer service and good app usability. However, negative feedback highlights perceived declines in selection quality, difficulties locating the cancellation control, delays in customer support response, and frustration over refund and credit policies. Several users report the process of cancelling can feel obstructive if they subscribed via different platforms (App Store, Google Play, web) or encountered unclear UI elements. Sources include consumer review sites and community anecdotes.
Deleting the Book Of The Month app does not cancel an App Store or Google Play subscription - cancellations must be processed through the subscription manager for the platform used. Another common mistake is assuming a single cancellation method works for all subscribers: if you subscribed through Apple or Google, you must cancel through those stores rather than the Book Of The Month website. Expect that credits are frequently non‑refundable; asking for a refund for credits or routine monthly charges often meets resistance. Also check whether you signed up under a promotional commitment - some offers prevent cancellation or skipping during the initial commitment period.

After you cancel, keep records of the cancellation confirmation (screenshots, confirmation email, or reference number). Monitor your bank or card statements for any unexpected post‑cancellation charges and contact Book Of The Month support if you see them. If you believe you were billed improperly and the company cannot resolve it, consider contacting your card issuer to dispute the charge and consult your provincial consumer protection office.
