These steps will help you cancel Blue Apron:
- Call Blue Apron customer service at 888-278-4349.
- Ensure that all your account details are available so you can give them to the representative.
- Ask the representative from Blue Apron to cancel your subscription. Then, simply follow the instructions they offer.
Cancel Your Blue Apron Membership Via Email
Canceling via email is also possible. Anyone choosing this method must ensure that they use the same email address they used when setting up the account. If they use a different one, they should add the right address in the cancellation email’s text.
Requesting the cancellation via email is a piece of cake. Here are the steps you will have to go through:

How to Cancel Your Own Blue Apron Free Trial
The Blue Apron free trial is ideal for people who want to give the service a try and see if they want to enjoy their meals for an extended period. While many are convinced to keep paying for Blue Apron, others are not too impressed and would like to cancel the service before they are charged.
You should know that if you cancel your Blue Apron subscription before the free trial ends, you may end up not getting all the meals that were promised. But if you know that canceling is the right thing to do, this should not be an issue. It is best to rush and do it before you are charged for the next month.
The Terms of Use of Blue Apron say “Please note that you will not receive a notice from us that your free trial has ended or that the paid portion of your subscription has begun.”
Just like with the membership cancellation, you can do the trial cancellation in several ways. That being said, you will be able to pick the best one depending on your circumstances and preferences. Customers can cancel by email, online, or by phone.
If you didn’t enjoy the service despite the benefits of the free trial, here are the steps you can take to cancel it:
Cancel Your Blue Apron Free Trial Online
You can cancel the free trial by going to the official Blue Apron Website. There, log into your account, then click “Manage”. Next, you simply have to select “Cancel Meal or Wine Deliveries”.
Bear in mind that even after canceling your account, you may still receive emails from the company. You have the option to ask for the correspondence to stop, though.
Cancel Your Blue Apron Free Trial Over the Phone
In order to cancel the free trial by phone, all you have to do is call 888-278-4349. Then, you can ask the Blue Apron representative to cancel your account, and you are done.
Cancel Your Blue Apron Free Trial Via Email
Lastly, you can also cancel your Blue Apron free trial via email. You have to send an email to cancellations@blueapron.com and ask them to cancel the trial. Then, they will send you an email back offering instructions on how to go on with the cancellation process.
How to Cancel a Blue Apron Order
If you want to cancel particular orders, Blue Apron also offers you a way to do it. Orders can be skipped up to 5 weeks in advance. This is great if you are traveling somewhere and you don’t want to pay for something you are not going to be able to enjoy anyways.
All you have to do to skip an order is log into your Blue Apron account, then go to the “Upcoming” page. Once you are there, you should select the order that you want to skip. After choosing your order, select “Manage Delivery”. Next, click on “Skip This Delivery”.
Bear in mind that orders can only be canceled if they haven’t been shipped yet. If they are marked as processed and shipped already, it’s not possible to cancel them. As such, it will be necessary to pay for those meals.
Blue Apron Cancelation FAQ
Here are a few questions and useful answers regarding Blue Apron cancellations:
Can I get a refund after I cancel my Blue Apron account?
Usually, it’s not possible to get a refund from Blue Apron after canceling your account. Of course, you could always try talking to customer service for a refund. If some orders are marked as “processing” or “shipped” in your account, you will be charged for them even after your account was canceled.
Can I pause my Blue Apron subscription instead of canceling it?
Blue Apron does now allow customers to pause their subscription instead of canceling it. However, you can skip specific orders if you cannot receive them for a while. This can be done from the “Manage Delivery” section.
Final Thoughts
Many people decide to cancel Blue Apron or cancel Home Chef, as they decide they do not need the services any longer. In order to do this, you must know what options you have available. Blue Apron allows you to cancel via email, phone, and online.
So, if you don’t want to pay for the meals anymore, you can simply request a cancellation and you will no longer be charged for the service.
