How to cancel vedix and get your money back: a step-by-step guide for new zealand customers

What is vedix and why you might want to cancel

Vedix is a personalised haircare service that blends customised three-product kits based on your online hair assessment. You complete a detailed questionnaire about your hair type, concerns, and preferences, and Vedix then creates and ships a bespoke kit matched to your results. The service operates on both one-time purchase and subscription models in New Zealand, with subscriptions offering free shipping on every delivery.

You might decide to cancel Vedix for several reasons: the products didn't work as expected, the cost doesn't fit your budget, you prefer to shop elsewhere, or you simply want to pause deliveries. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to walk you through the cancellation process with clarity and confidence, ensuring you understand your rights and get the refund you deserve.

Vedix's business model in new zealand

Vedix operates on a subscription-first model. You pay NZ$89 monthly for a customised kit with free shipping, or NZ$109 plus NZ$14 shipping for a one-time purchase. The company markets a 100% satisfaction guarantee and a 30-day money-back promise, which is more generous than New Zealand's standard cooling-off period. However, understanding the fine print around assessments and shipping costs is crucial before you cancel.

When cancellation makes sense

Cancel Vedix if the products don't suit your hair, if recurring charges are unexpected, or if you're unhappy with quality or results. You should also cancel immediately if you notice unauthorised charges or if Vedix continues billing after you've already requested a stop. Stopee recommends cancelling before your next billing cycle to avoid unnecessary charges.

Your consumer rights in new zealand and how they protect you

New Zealand consumer law gives you significant protections when buying goods and services online, even when dealing with overseas companies like Vedix.

The consumer guarantees act and cooling-off periods

Under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993, you have a statutory 14-day cooling-off right for most online purchases, though customised goods are sometimes exempt. Vedix's 30-day money-back guarantee is more generous and should be your first lever. This guarantee applies to the customised products themselves within 30 days of receiving them-no questions asked. However, assessment fees may fall outside this protection under Vedix's Terms of Service.

If Vedix refuses to honour the 30-day guarantee or disputes your claim, you can escalate to the Commerce Commission or your local Citizens Advice Bureau. Stopee advises documenting all communication to support your case.

Faulty goods and misrepresentation

If your Vedix products are faulty, not of acceptable quality, or don't match what was promised, the Consumer Guarantees Act entitles you to repair, replacement, or refund. Persistent issues with recurring charges, non-delivery, or misleading marketing fall under the Fair Trading Act 1986, which you can report to the Commerce Commission.

How to cancel vedix: step-by-step methods

Vedix does not offer a self-service cancellation button on its website, so you must contact support directly. Here is the most reliable path to cancel your subscription or request a refund.

Cancel via email (recommended method)

Email is your best documented route to cancellation with Vedix. Stopee recommends this method because you retain a written record of your request and any response.

1. Locate your Vedix order number and the email address associated with your account.
   • Check your confirmation email or account dashboard for the order number.
   • Use the same email address you signed up with.
2. Compose an email to support@nz.vedix.com with the subject line "Cancellation Request" or "Refund Request".
   • Include your full name, order number, and account email.
   • State clearly whether you want to cancel your subscription (stop future deliveries) or request a full refund (if within 30 days).
   • If applicable, mention the reason for cancellation-this helps Vedix improve but is not required.
3. Send the email and immediately save a copy to your device or cloud storage.
   • Do not delete the email thread.
   • Screenshot the "sent" confirmation for your records.
4. Wait for a response from Vedix support.
   • Expect a reply within 2-5 business days.
   • If you do not hear back within 5 business days, resend your request or consider escalating (see section below).
5. Confirm cancellation once you receive Vedix's reply.
   • Vedix should confirm the cancellation date and any refund details in writing.
   • Keep this confirmation email indefinitely.

Contact support via the vedix NZ website

If email feels risky, you can also submit a cancellation request through Vedix's online contact form on checkout.nz.vedix.com. However, email is preferable because the FAQs page does not guarantee a direct phone line for New Zealand customers.

1. Visit checkout.nz.vedix.com/pages/faqs and look for a "Contact Us" link.
2. Fill in the contact form with your name, email, order number, and cancellation reason.
3. Send and save the confirmation page or screenshot as evidence you submitted the request.
4. Follow up via email to support@nz.vedix.com if you do not receive a response within 5 days.

Will you get a refund from vedix?

Refunds from Vedix depend on the timing of your request and what you purchased. Stopee breaks down the rules so you know exactly where you stand.

The 30-day money-back guarantee

Vedix advertises a 100% money-back guarantee within 30 days of receiving your customised products. This is Vedix's cornerstone refund promise and applies to the products themselves. To qualify:

• You must submit your refund request within 30 calendar days from the date you received your order.
• The products must be in their original, unused condition (or minimally used).
• You do not need to provide a reason for the refund, though Vedix may ask.

Refund exceptions and limitations

Warning: Several categories of charges fall outside the 30-day guarantee:

• Assessment fees: If you paid separately for the hair assessment, Vedix's Terms of Service state that assessment charges may not be refundable in some cases. Clarify this with support before requesting your refund.
• First month of subscriptions: After 30 days, the first month is commonly non-refundable under Vedix's fair-use policy. Only unused future months may be eligible for refund.
• Shipping and handling: If your order has already shipped and you cancel after delivery, Vedix regional policies indicate shipping or handling fees may apply. These are not fully detailed on the NZ site, so ask support directly.
• Return shipping: Vedix does not always cover return postage, especially for international returns to the USA (where refunds are processed).

How refunds are processed

Vedix processes refunds to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal). Allow 5-10 business days for the refund to appear in your account after Vedix approves it. If 10 days pass with no refund, contact your bank or payment provider to confirm the transaction is in progress.

Vedix pricing and subscription plans

Understanding what you're paying for helps you decide whether cancellation is right for you and what refund to expect.

Available plans in new zealand

If you're on the monthly subscription at NZ$89, cancelling now saves you NZ$89 for each month you pause. Stopee recommends cancelling before your renewal date to avoid the next charge.

What happens after you cancel vedix

Cancellation has immediate and long-term effects on your account, charges, and data. Understanding these helps you plan your next steps.

Subscription access and future deliveries

Once you cancel your subscription, Vedix stops all future deliveries and recurring charges. Your next monthly renewal will not be charged. If you requested cancellation mid-cycle, your access to that month's shipment depends on whether it has already been dispatched. Contact Vedix to clarify the exact cancellation date and any partial refunds.

Your account and personal data

Your Vedix account and profile remain active unless you explicitly request deletion. Your hair assessment results, order history, and payment details stay on file. You can log in anytime to review past orders or request a full account deletion. Stopee suggests keeping your account open for at least 30 days after cancellation to track refund status and resolve any disputes.

Refund timeline and confirmation

Expect the following timeline after you request cancellation:

• Day 1: You email support@nz.vedix.com with your cancellation request.
• Days 2-5: Vedix reviews your request and responds (usually within 2-3 business days).
• Days 5-10: If eligible, Vedix processes the refund to your original payment method.
• Days 10-15: Your bank or payment provider credits the refund to your account.

If you do not see the refund after 15 days, contact Vedix again with your cancellation confirmation email and ask for a refund status update.

Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling vedix

Cancellations can go wrong if you miss a deadline or overlook a key step. Stopee has helped thousands of customers avoid costly errors, and these pitfalls are the most common.

Mistake 1: not requesting cancellation before your renewal date

Vedix auto-renews on your renewal date. If you cancel after the charge has posted, you must request a refund separately. Missing the renewal date means you pay an extra NZ$89 you did not intend to spend. Pro tip: set a phone reminder 3 days before your renewal date to cancel in time.

Mistake 2: confusing cancellation with refund

Cancelling your subscription and requesting a refund are two separate actions. Cancelling stops future charges; a refund reclaims what you already paid. If you want both, state this clearly in your email to Vedix. Do not assume one action covers the other.

Mistake 3: not keeping proof of your request

Without a saved email or screenshot, you have no evidence you asked for cancellation or a refund. Vedix may claim they never received your request. Always save sent emails, confirmation pages, and Vedix's replies. Stopee recommends storing these in a dedicated folder or cloud backup.

Mistake 4: waiting too long to request a refund

Vedix's 30-day guarantee has a hard deadline. If you wait 31 days, you forfeit the money-back promise and must pursue other remedies (like the Commerce Commission). Count 30 days from the delivery date shown on your receipt, not from the order date.

Mistake 5: ignoring assessment fee exclusions

If your Vedix bill includes a separate assessment fee and Vedix refuses to refund it, you may have limited recourse. Read Vedix's Terms of Service carefully before disputing, or ask Stopee for guidance on escalation to the Commerce Commission.

Escalation and dispute resolution

If Vedix refuses to honour the 30-day guarantee, ignores your emails, or disputes your refund claim, you have legal remedies in New Zealand.

Step 1: escalate within vedix

Reply to Vedix's last support email asking to speak with a manager or escalate your case. Keep the tone professional and reference your original cancellation request and the 30-day guarantee policy. Give Vedix 5 more business days to respond.

Step 2: file a complaint with the commerce commission

If Vedix still refuses, lodge a formal complaint with the New Zealand Commerce Commission. You can file online at beehive.govt.nz or contact your local Citizens Advice Bureau for guidance. Complaints often succeed if Vedix violates the Fair Trading Act or Consumer Guarantees Act.

Step 3: chargeback with your bank or card issuer

If your refund does not arrive and Vedix is unresponsive, contact your bank or credit card company and request a chargeback. This asks your financial institution to reverse the charge due to a dispute with the merchant. Provide copies of your cancellation emails and Vedix's refusal to refund as evidence.

Stopee recommends starting with Vedix support first, because most disputes are resolved faster with direct communication than through chargebacks or Commerce Commission complaints.
