Cancellation Gousto: Easy Method

What is Gousto

Overview

Gousto is a subscription meal-kit service that delivers fresh ingredients and recipes to customers so they can cook meals at home.

It operates on a recurring box model where customers select recipes, choose delivery slots, and receive weekly deliveries in markets where Gousto operates.

How it works

Customers sign up online, choose a plan and recipes, and manage deliveries and subscriptions from their account dashboard.

Deliveries, cut-off times and cancellation rules are set by Gousto and described in their terms and help resources.

How to cancel Gousto

Online via website

• Log into your Gousto account.
• Go to My Details → Cancel Account to submit a cancellation.
• Make sure cancellation is completed before the weekly cut-off (typically midday 3 - 5 days before delivery) to avoid being charged.
• Reference: Gousto terms & conditions.

Other methods

• Help Centre - use the site help/contact channels to request cancellation if you cannot cancel through My Details.
• Phone - contact Gousto customer service to request cancellation (example support number used in public sources: 020 3011 1002).
• Do NOT rely on cancelling through the App Store or Google Play; that does not cancel the Gousto subscription itself.
• Source overview of alternative methods: cancel guide.

What happens when you cancel

Subscription and deliveries

Cancelling stops future boxes after the cancellation has been processed and after any applicable cut-off has passed.

If an order was already processed before cancellation, that delivery will usually proceed and may be charged.

Account access and reactivation

Your account typically remains accessible so you can view past orders and reactivate the subscription if needed.

Reactivate through your account dashboard or contact customer support to restore a subscription.

Data and records

Gousto retains order and account records under its terms; keep your own confirmation emails or screenshots for proof of cancellation.

These records help if you need to dispute charges or request refunds after cancelling.

Will I get a refund?

14‑day cooling-off rule

The statutory 14-day right to cancel distance contracts exists in many jurisdictions but is generally excluded for perishable goods like meal kits.

Gousto’s terms indicate the 14-day cooling-off right is typically not available for meal-kit orders; see their terms for details: Gousto terms & conditions.

Refunds and processed orders

• No refund is usually available once an order is processed.
• If you cancel before the cut-off (for example by noon 3 days before delivery), you typically avoid being charged for that delivery.
• Processed orders may be refunded or credited at Gousto’s discretion in some cases.
• See consumer guidance on cancellation outcomes: cancellation guide.

Gousto plans and pricing

Pricing availability

No evidence was found of Gousto operating or publishing pricing in India (INR) for 2024/2025.

Pricing information publicly available from Gousto is shown in GBP for the UK market only.

Contact for pricing

If you need regional availability or pricing information, contact Gousto directly through their official channels or check their country site where available.

Your consumer rights in India

Distance selling and perishables

India’s consumer protection rules provide rights for distance selling, but exclusions apply for perishable goods in practice.

Meal-kit products that are perishable are typically excluded from the statutory cooling-off right, mirroring Gousto’s terms.

Unauthorized or wrongful charges

• If you cancelled correctly before the cut-off and were still charged, keep proof of cancellation and contact your bank to dispute the charge or request a chargeback.
• Maintain records such as cancellation confirmations, timestamps, screenshots and bank statements when lodging complaints.
• Third‑party guides note chargeback and complaint options for wrongful charges: consumer steps.

Customer experiences

How to present your case

Common mistakes

Cancelling via App Store or Google Play only

Many users mistakenly cancel the app subscription through the App Store or Google Play thinking it cancels Gousto.

App Store/Play cancellations do not cancel the Gousto subscription; you must cancel through the Gousto website or customer support.

Missing the cut-off and losing proof

Waiting until after the weekly cut-off to cancel often results in charges for the next box.

Failing to save a cancellation confirmation makes refunds or disputes harder; always capture and retain confirmation evidence.

After cancelling

If you are charged after cancelling

• Check the cancellation confirmation and the cut-off timing.
• Contact Gousto support with your cancellation proof and request a refund or credit.
• If unresolved, contact your bank to dispute the charge with supporting documents.
