Cancel Gousto: Easy Method
What is Gousto
Service overview
Gousto is a subscription meal-kit service that delivers recipe boxes with measured ingredients and cooking instructions. It is primarily known for offering a rotating menu of recipes, ingredient sourcing, and scheduled deliveries.
Availability note
Gousto operates in the UK market and publishes pricing in GBP; there is no clear NZ-specific pricing or confirmed local operation. Customers in New Zealand should check availability before attempting to subscribe.
How to cancel Gousto
Cancel via website (recommended)
- Log into your Gousto account on Gousto’s website.
- Go to "My Account" or "My Details".
- Navigate to "Subscription Settings" or "Pause or Cancel Subscription".
- Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm cancellation.
- Expect a cancellation confirmation email after you complete the process.
Cancel by contacting customer care
If you prefer, you can contact Gousto customer support for help cancelling your subscription.
- Use the Help Centre or live chat on Gousto’s website.
- Contact by email or phone where provided by Gousto (note: UK phone numbers are often listed for support).
- Keep chat or email transcripts and note the staff member’s name and time of contact.
Important limitation
You cannot cancel a Gousto subscription via the App Store or Google Play because these platforms do not manage Gousto subscriptions.
All cancellations must be completed on Gousto’s website or through Gousto customer support.
What happens when you cancel
Access and upcoming deliveries
When you cancel, future deliveries are stopped after the current billing cycle or cut-off. If you cancel before the next billing cut-off you will usually avoid being charged for the next box.
If an order has already been processed for dispatch, that order will normally still be sent unless Gousto agrees otherwise.
Account status and data
Your account remains accessible for order history and any retained credits or vouchers until you choose to delete it (where available). You should receive an email confirmation of cancellation.
Keep screenshots or copies of confirmation emails and any communication with customer service in case of disputes.
Will I get a refund?
General policy
If you cancel before the next billing cut-off you generally avoid the next charge and no refund is needed. If an order has already been processed for dispatch, Gousto typically does not offer a refund for that box.
Perishable goods such as meal kits are commonly excluded from statutory cooling-off rights, so refunds for change-of-mind are limited.
Exceptions and practical notes
- If goods arrive damaged, spoiled or not as described you may be entitled to a remedy under New Zealand consumer law (repair, replacement or refund).
- Some user reports suggest a short deadline (for example, three days before delivery noon) may affect refunds, but this conflicts with official terms and appears to be user-reported and not guaranteed.
- Keep evidence - photos, delivery time, and communications - if you seek a refund or credit for damaged or missing items.
Gousto plans and pricing
Overview
Gousto’s product offering is primarily meal-kit subscription boxes with choices of recipes and box sizes. Specific NZ pricing is not published by Gousto.
Below is a simple table reflecting available plan types; prices are not available for New Zealand and are shown as "Varies".
Table of plans
| Plan | Price (NZD) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Meal-kit subscription (weekly) | Varies | Typical subscription boxes of multiple recipes and servings. |
| One-off box | Varies | Occasional or trial boxes where offered. |
| Special add-ons / upgrades | Varies | Extras such as premium recipes or additional servings. |
Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Consumer Guarantees Act (CGA)
Under New Zealand law, the Consumer Guarantees Act requires goods to be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and as described.
If a meal kit is spoiled, damaged, or not as described you may be entitled to repair, replacement or refund under the CGA.
Cooling-off rules and perishables
There is generally no automatic right to cancel online purchases simply because you changed your mind, especially for perishable goods like meal kits.
“No refunds” signs are not legal - sellers cannot contract out of consumer guarantees - but cooling-off periods typically do not apply to food items.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
Many customers praise Gousto for convenience, recipe variety, and easy-to-follow instructions.
Users also report good ingredient quality and portion sizes that support improved cooking confidence.
Negative feedback
Common complaints include missing or damaged ingredients, occasional spoiled produce, and delivery reliability problems.
Customers report that refunds or credits can be offered but sometimes are slow or difficult to obtain, and pricing or extra charges are a recurring concern.
Documentation checklist
Before you cancel
- Account email and password (to log in to the Gousto website).
- Order number(s) for any boxes you want to discuss.
- Payment method details if you need to verify charges.
If you claim missing/damaged goods or seek a refund
- Photos of damaged or spoiled items with timestamps.
- Delivery notes and tracking information.
- Screenshots or copies of any chat or email conversations with Gousto support.
Common mistakes
Missing the cut-off deadline
Customers often assume they can cancel at any time; missing the billing or order cut-off means the next box may still be charged and dispatched.
Always check the specific cut-off time for changing or cancelling recipes and deliveries to avoid unexpected charges.
Trying to cancel via app stores or not keeping records
Attempting to cancel via the App Store or Google Play will not work because these platforms do not manage Gousto subscriptions.
Failing to save cancellation confirmation or support chat logs makes disputes harder to resolve - always keep copies.
