A fan of subscription boxes? Then you might also be subscribed to Birchbox – one of the fastest growing and most popular monthly subscriptions in America. But seeing as though you’re cancelling Dollar Shave Club, you might want to know how to cancel your Birchbox subscription as well.

Why do people cancel Dollar Shave Club?

Millions of people have signed up to Dollar Shave Club, and probably hundreds of thousands have cancelled as well. Despite being a pioneer in the subscription-based business model and growing one of the smallest companies (in terms of employee size) into a billion-dollar company, there are plenty of customers who’ve already said goodbye and moved on from being a subscriber.

One of the most popular reasons to cancel a Dollar Shave Club subscription is because someone’s simply gotten over the novelty and/or found a different way to shave that is more convenient for them. The big one, of course, is the electric shaver. Some men simply grow tired of spending the time and effort shaving with a razor every morning and have grown to prefer the ease of an electric shave. It may not be perfect for them, but it gets the job done much faster.

The second most popular reason people opt to cancel their Dollar Shave Club subscription, is because they’ve made a change in their life and decided it’s time to grow a beard. The one thing you can’t do when growing a beard is to shave it. As no more shaving is required, no more razors are required either – and so, the cut is giving to Dollar Shave Club.

That reason is also up there when people are asked why they ended up cancelling their Shopify account. They’ve simply moved on from the website builder or no longer need the service.

Talk to staff

If you’ve encountered an error when trying to cancel through the steps above, you’ll want to talk to someone at Dollar Shave Club as soon as possible before you get charged again. Send them a message on social media here:
