Postclic: Mel Science cancellation guide
Note that refunds for in-app purchases must be requested from Apple or Google according to their refund rules.
Cancellation stops future shipments and renewals after the current billing period ends, unless you paused instead of cancelling. You will not receive further boxes once cancellation takes effect.
Payments already debited before cancellation are normally processed and are not automatically refunded unless specific conditions are met.
Your account details and digital access may remain available for a short period or be removed depending on Mel Science policies.
Keep copies of confirmations, receipts and any digital purchase receipts in case you need to dispute charges or request support.
Refunds for non in-app purchases are limited. Mel Science explicitly allows refunds for defective or damaged kits when reported promptly.
See the vendor terms for detail.
Mel Science terms (refunds & returns)
Refunds for in-app purchases or subscriptions purchased through Apple or Google are governed solely by those platforms. Mel Science cannot authorize or process refunds for App Store or Google Play purchases.
Request refunds directly from the store that processed your payment.

Under Singapore law, consumers have protections against defective goods and unfair trading practices. Statutory rights apply even when a vendor’s own policy is restrictive.
Digital purchases and in-app platform purchases may be subject to the platform’s own rules, which can limit remedies available directly from the vendor.
If you consider a vendor’s handling unfair or you have a defective product, you can escalate via local consumer bodies or dispute forums in Singapore.
Options include filing complaints with consumer advisory organisations or pursuing claims through small claims channels when appropriate.
Many customers praise Mel Science for high-quality, lab-style science kits and engaging hands-on learning for children.
Some reviews note responsive customer service that replaced lost starter boxes.

Common complaints include unexpected kit themes, continued billing after attempted cancellation, app crashes, confusing UI and instruction mismatches.
There are isolated reports of serious safety issues and dissatisfaction with refund responses for such incidents.
Many users delete the Mel Science app thinking it will stop billing. This does not cancel subscriptions billed through Apple or Google Play.
Always cancel inside the store subscription settings to stop future charges.
Cancelling does not automatically trigger a refund for charges already processed. Refunds for web purchases are limited and typically only given for defective kits or if cancellation occurred before the charge.
For in-app purchases, refunds must be requested from Apple or Google per their policies.
