Automatic renewals stop once cancellation is confirmed for that billing cycle.
No additional subscription fees should be charged after cancellation takes effect.

Your Postmates account data (order history, receipts) typically remains available unless you request deletion.
To remove account data, follow the app or web privacy/account deletion options where available.

Your consumer rights in New Zealand
Legal framework
In New Zealand, the Consumer Guarantees Act and related consumer protections apply to digital services and goods.
Services must be of acceptable quality, fit for purpose, and as described.
Remedies available
- If Postmates fails to deliver items or charges incorrectly, you may be entitled to remedies such as repair, replacement, or refund.
- Remedies must be reasonable and responsive to the issue under NZ law, even if the provider's policies are limited.
Enforcement and complaints
If a provider refuses proper remedies, consumers can escalate complaints to consumer protection agencies or seek dispute resolution.
Keep records of communication and evidence to support any complaint under NZ consumer protection rules.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Users praise convenience, wide restaurant selection, real-time tracking, and generally fast deliveries where service is available.
- Some reviews note easy app navigation and prompt refunds when major issues occur.
Negative feedback
- Common complaints include promo codes failing, unresponsive customer support, and unclear or hidden fees.
- Customers also report late deliveries, cold or missing items, and repetitive or automated support responses.
Context for New Zealand readers
Many reviews reflect experience in markets where Postmates actively operates (mainly the US).
Because Postmates is not operating in New Zealand, NZ-specific experiences are limited and may reflect third-party reports.
Documentation checklist
Essential account information
- Account email used for the Postmates account.
- Subscription details or receipt showing the plan and billing date.
Order-level evidence
- Order number and timestamp for any disputed orders.
- Photos of wrong/missing items and screenshots of order/charge details.
Communication records
- Copies of any messages or support tickets with Postmates or the app store.
- Confirmation emails for cancellations or refunds.
Common mistakes
Cancelling in the wrong place
Many users cancel subscriptions in the app when they actually subscribed through Apple or Google Play.
This can leave the subscription active and incur further charges; always cancel via the store used for purchase.
Expecting immediate refunds
Assuming an immediate refund for partial billing periods is a frequent error.
Subscriptions often remain active until the billing cycle ends and refunds are typically not given for used periods.
Insufficient evidence for disputes
Failing to keep order numbers, timestamps, or photos weakens refund requests or formal complaints.
Collect clear documentation before escalating to consumer protection agencies.

| Customer support quality | Mixed reviews; complaints about responsiveness and automated replies | Expect variable support; keep documentation for escalation |
After cancelling
