Cancel Bistromd: Simple Process
What is Bistromd
Service overview
BistroMD is a US-based meal-delivery service that provides pre-prepared, dietitian-designed meals on a subscription basis.
The company operates delivery within the continental United States and manages subscriptions via an online member portal and mobile app stores.
Availability note for New Zealand
BistroMD does not ship to New Zealand and accepts US-issued payment cards only.
Because the service is limited to the US, many aspects of its policies and remedies are governed by US terms rather than NZ consumer law.
How to cancel Bistromd
Cancel via the web member portal (recommended)
- Log into your mybistroMD account at the BistroMD website.
- Go to Manage Plan → Update Plan → click "Cancel Program" before your weekly cutoff.
- Weekly cutoff is usually a few days before the next delivery and follows the site's deadline (commonly by 11:59 PM ET).
- After cancelling you should receive a confirmation email and see the cancellation status on your dashboard (My Menu/Weekly Menu).
Cancel via mobile app stores (iOS / Android)
- iOS: Open Settings → tap your name → Subscriptions → select BistroMD → Cancel Subscription.
- Android: Open Google Play Store → Menu → Subscriptions → select BistroMD → Cancel Subscription.
- If you subscribed through an app store, cancellation must be managed through that store rather than the BistroMD website.
Phone or email cancellations
- Changes made by email or phone must be submitted at least 24 hours before the weekly customization deadline.
- Keep copies of any confirmation messages from customer service when cancelling by phone or email.
What happens when you cancel
Access and upcoming deliveries
Cancellation stops future scheduled deliveries after the current billing cycle or as indicated on your account.
Check your dashboard (My Menu/Weekly Menu) for the exact status of scheduled deliveries and any final shipments.
Billing and renewals
Cancellation prevents automatic renewal of the subscription; charges already processed are typically not reversed automatically.
If you are charged after cancellation, collect evidence (screenshots, confirmation emails) before contacting support or your card issuer.
Account and data
Your account remains accessible for past order history and to reactivate the service if needed.
Personal data will be retained according to BistroMD’s privacy and account policies as stated on their website.
Will I get a refund?
Standard refund policy
BistroMD offers a satisfaction approach rather than blanket refunds: there are no long-term contracts and remedies are handled case-by-case.
For issues with delivery or damaged packaging, BistroMD may provide a bill credit or replacement meals on a case-by-case basis.
Exceptions and taste complaints
- Refunds for personal taste preferences are generally not offered.
- Requests related to delivery errors, thawed or missing meals may be eligible for credit or replacement - document the problem with photos and timestamps.
New Zealand legal cooling-off rights
BistroMD’s public policy does not include a 14-day “change-of-mind” refund right applicable under NZ consumer law.
Because BistroMD limits service to the continental US, NZ statutory cooling-off protections are unlikely to apply to purchases from BistroMD.
Bistromd plans and pricing
Overview
BistroMD lists plans and pricing in US dollars for US delivery only; there is no public listing in New Zealand dollars.
If you are viewing pricing from outside the US, expect variations due to currency conversion and shipping rules.
Pricing table
| Plan / Item | Price (USD or local) |
|---|---|
| Meal plans and subscriptions | Varies |
| Delivery / shipping | Varies |
| App store subscriptions | Varies |
Your consumer rights in New Zealand
General NZ consumer protections
Under New Zealand law, consumers normally have rights such as acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and remedies for major failures.
These protections include a 14-day change-of-mind right only in some cases of remote selling by NZ suppliers; they are not universal for overseas sellers.
Limitations for BistroMD customers in NZ
BistroMD explicitly limits its service to the continental US and accepts US-issued cards only, so NZ statutory protections are likely not available.
If you ordered through an intermediary or local reseller, different rules may apply - check the seller’s terms and NZ law for that arrangement.
Practical steps for NZ residents
- Confirm whether the seller explicitly offers service to NZ before relying on NZ consumer rights.
- Keep records of communications and transactions in case you need to dispute charges with your bank or card issuer.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Some users - particularly on diabetic or structured plans - found the meals convenient and helpful for weight-management goals.
Regular deliveries and dietitian-designed menus were highlighted positively in several reviews.
Negative feedback
Common complaints include delivery problems (late, missing, thawed, or substituted meals) and poor food quality for some customers.
Users have also reported difficulties cancelling subscriptions and slow or unresponsive customer service in some cases.
Takeaway
- Expect mixed experiences; document any problems promptly to support refund or replacement requests.
- If you are outside the US, confirm service eligibility before ordering to avoid disputes you cannot resolve locally.
Documentation checklist
Essential account information
- Account email and username used for BistroMD.
- Order numbers and dates for the deliveries in question.
Proof of issues
- Photographs of damaged, thawed or incorrect meals with timestamps.
- Screenshots of cancellation attempts, confirmation screens and dashboard status.
Payment and communication records
- Bank/credit card statements showing charges.
- Emails, chat transcripts or phone call notes with customer service (include dates and names).
Common mistakes
Missing cutoff times
One frequent mistake is waiting until after the weekly cutoff to cancel; cancellations must be completed before the deadline (commonly by 11:59 PM ET a few days before delivery).
If you miss the cutoff, you may be charged for the next delivery even if you cancel immediately afterward.
Cancelling in the wrong place
Subscribers who signed up through an app store must cancel via that app store; cancelling on the website alone may not stop app-store billing.
Conversely, cancelling in the app store does not always update the BistroMD website immediately - keep confirmation from both sources.
Assuming NZ consumer protections apply
Some customers assume a NZ 14-day cooling-off right applies; because BistroMD limits service to the US, this assumption can lead to surprise when refunds are denied.
Always verify the seller’s jurisdiction and terms before relying on local consumer laws.
Comparative recap
Quick comparison
| Topic | BistroMD (US service) | Implication for NZ customers |
|---|---|---|
| How to cancel | Member portal (Manage Plan → Update Plan → Cancel Program) or app store | May be difficult to enforce from NZ; use portal/app store and keep confirmations |
| Refunds | Case-by-case credits or replacements for delivery/packaging issues; no taste refunds | NZ 14-day change-of-mind right unlikely to apply; document problems carefully |
| Delivery area | Continental United States only | Service not available to NZ addresses; do not expect NZ consumer protections |
After cancelling
What to check immediately
- Confirm you receive a cancellation email and that your dashboard shows cancelled status.
- Monitor your card or bank for any post-cancellation charges and save statements.
If you need further help
- Contact BistroMD customer support and attach documentation (photos, screenshots, order numbers).
- If unauthorised charges occur, consider disputing with your card issuer as an expedient remedy.
