How to cancel mel science and claim your refund: your step-by-step guide for singapore

What mel science is and why you might want to cancel

Mel Science delivers hands-on STEM learning kits to your home, each packed with materials and instructions for chemistry, physics and interactive experiments. Parents and educators in Singapore subscribe to give children experiential learning beyond the classroom, often paired with digital lesson packs and VR content.

You may decide to cancel for many reasons: your child lost interest, the kits no longer fit your budget, you prefer a different learning approach, or you simply want to pause the subscription temporarily. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to walk you through the cancellation process with clarity and confidence.

Who mel science serves

Mel Science targets parents, educators and students aged 4-18 who want hands-on STEM experiences at home. Subscriptions typically renew monthly or annually, with shipments arriving at regular intervals. If you fit this description and have decided to step away, you have every right to cancel without guilt or confusion.

Why cancelling early matters

Monthly subscriptions renew automatically on your billing date. If you delay cancellation, you risk being charged for the next cycle, especially if your payment method remains active on your account. Stopee recommends acting immediately: cancellation takes effect only after you confirm it, so hesitation can cost you money.

Consumer protection rights in singapore

Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you when you buy goods or services, including subscriptions. Understanding your rights empowers you to cancel confidently and dispute unfair charges.

What the law guarantees you

Under Singapore law, you have the right to cancel a subscription and request a refund if the service fails to match its description, arrives damaged, or is defective. You also have the right to receive clear, honest terms and conditions before you commit to payment. If Mel Science misleads you about pricing, shipping dates or kit contents, you can escalate your complaint to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS).

Most importantly, you must receive a cancellation confirmation. If Mel Science refuses to cancel your account or delays your cancellation, this breach of fair trading may entitle you to lodge a formal complaint with the relevant authority.

When to escalate your cancellation

If Mel Science ignores your cancellation request, continues to bill you after you cancel, or disputes a legitimate refund claim, contact the Consumers Association of Singapore. Stopee advises documenting every step: screenshots of your cancellation request, confirmation emails, bank statements showing charges, and any response (or silence) from Mel Science. This paper trail is your evidence.

How to cancel mel science: step-by-step by platform

Your cancellation method depends on where you bought your subscription. Each platform handles cancellation differently, and the steps are straightforward once you know them.

Cancelling via the mel science website

If you subscribed directly through melscience.com using your credit card, bank transfer or PayPal, follow these steps to cancel from your account dashboard.

1. Open your web browser and visit the Mel Science website (melscience.com).
2. Click Sign In or Log In at the top right of the page.
3. Enter your email address and password, then click Sign In.
4. Navigate to My Account or Subscriptions (the exact label varies by region).
   • Look for a settings icon or account menu in the top right corner.
   • Select Manage Subscription or Billing Settings.
5. Find your active Mel Science subscription and click Cancel Subscription or Pause Subscription.
   • Warning: "Pause" temporarily stops shipments but keeps your account active and may resume billing. "Cancel" is permanent unless you reactivate later.
   • Choose Cancel if you want to end the subscription entirely.
6. Mel Science may ask why you are cancelling (optional feedback) and confirm your choice.
7. Click Confirm Cancellation and wait for the on-screen confirmation message.
8. Screenshot or save the confirmation page, then check your email for a cancellation confirmation email within 10 minutes.
   • If no email arrives, refresh your inbox (including spam) or log back into your account to verify cancellation.

Pro tip: Stopee recommends cancelling at least 5-7 days before your next billing date. Check your account to see when you are next charged, then cancel well in advance to avoid a surprise payment.

Cancelling an apple app store subscription (iOS)

If you bought your Mel Science subscription through the Apple App Store on an iPhone, iPad or Mac, Apple controls your subscription, not Mel Science. You must cancel inside your Apple ID settings.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
2. Tap or click your Apple ID profile picture at the top (iPhone/iPad) or top left corner (Mac).
3. Select Subscriptions.
4. Find Mel Science in the list of active subscriptions and tap or click it.
5. Tap or click Cancel Subscription or Edit Subscription, then select Cancel.
   • Apple will ask you to confirm and may offer a retention discount. You can ignore this and proceed with cancellation.
6. Confirm your choice by tapping or clicking Confirm Cancellation.
7. Apple sends a confirmation email to your Apple ID email address within minutes.

Warning: Deleting the Mel Science app from your device does NOT cancel your subscription. You must follow the steps above to stop billing.

Cancelling a google play subscription (Android)

If you subscribed to Mel Science through the Google Play Store on an Android phone or tablet, Google processes your subscription. Cancel inside your Google Play settings, not inside the Mel Science app.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2. Tap the profile icon in the top right corner.
3. Select Manage subscriptions or Payments and subscriptions.
4. Tap Subscriptions (if the menu appears).
5. Find and tap Mel Science.
6. Tap Cancel subscription at the bottom of the screen.
7. Select your reason for cancellation (optional), then confirm by tapping Cancel subscription again.
8. Google sends a cancellation confirmation email to your Google account email address.

Pro tip: Google Play offers a 48-hour window to restore your subscription after cancellation if you change your mind. Stopee advises taking a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation in case you need to prove you cancelled for a refund dispute later.

Pricing and subscription plans in singapore

Mel Science offers several subscription tiers, and pricing in Singapore is displayed in SGD. Understanding what you pay helps you weigh the cost against the benefits before you cancel or commit to another month.

Prices vary by region and are subject to change. Shipping costs to Singapore are typically added at checkout. Stopee recommends reviewing your latest invoice before cancelling to confirm your exact subscription tier and next billing date.

What happens after you cancel

Cancellation marks the end of your relationship with Mel Science, but several things still matter: future shipments, your account access, and your data.

When your cancellation takes effect

Cancellation stops future shipments and recurring charges immediately after you confirm it. You will not receive any more Mel Science kits once the cancellation is processed. If you cancel mid-billing cycle, you retain access to any kits already shipped; you simply will not be charged again and no further boxes will arrive.

Your current billing cycle continues until its end date. For example, if you have a monthly subscription and cancel on day 10 of a 30-day cycle, you may still be charged on day 30 for that month. Your cancellation prevents the charge that would occur on day 30 of the next month.

Your account, digital content and data

Mel Science may keep your account active for 30-90 days after cancellation, allowing you to download or view any digital lesson packs or VR content you purchased. After this grace period, your account may be archived or deleted, and access to digital content may be revoked. Stopee advises downloading or saving any digital materials you wish to keep before cancellation takes full effect.

Your personal data (email, billing address, phone number) is retained by Mel Science under its privacy policy. You may request deletion of your data by contacting Mel Science directly or filing a data deletion request with the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) in Singapore if you believe your data is being held without consent.

Refunds and your right to compensation

Refunds are not automatic when you cancel. However, you may be entitled to a refund under specific conditions, and Stopee is here to explain your options clearly.

Defective or damaged kits

If you receive a kit that is damaged, incomplete, or does not work as described, Mel Science offers refunds or replacements. You must act quickly.

1. Inspect every kit on the day you receive it.
2. If you find damage, missing components, or defects, photograph the kit and packaging immediately.
3. Email Mel Science (support email from your confirmation) within 24-48 hours with photos and a description of the fault.
4. Mel Science responds with instructions: return the kit for a refund (including delivery fee) or accept a replacement.
5. Return unused, defective kits within 14 days of notification in original packaging if requested.
6. Once Mel Science receives and inspects the returned kit, a refund is processed within 5-7 business days.

Pro tip: Stopee recommends keeping all packaging and receipts until you have inspected the kit and confirmed it works. Take photos or videos of unboxing in case you later discover defects and need to claim a refund.

Charges applied before cancellation

If Mel Science debits your payment method before you cancel, that charge is usually final and non-refundable unless you cancelled before the payment was processed. The key is timing: cancellation works only if you act before your billing date.

For example, if your monthly subscription renews on the 15th of every month and you cancel on the 10th, the 15th charge will not occur. If you cancel on the 16th, the 15th charge has already gone through and you cannot reverse it through Mel Science alone.

Refunds for in-app purchases (Apple app store and google play)

If you bought your Mel Science subscription through Apple or Google, those platforms control refunds, not Mel Science. Request refunds directly from Apple or Google using their own processes.

Apple App Store refunds: Go to appleid.apple.com, select Purchase History, find the Mel Science charge, click Report a Problem, select I would like a refund for this purchase, and submit your reason. Apple responds within 48 hours.

Google Play refunds: Open the Google Play Store app, go to Account, select Purchase History, find Mel Science, tap the three-dot menu, select Request a refund, and explain your reason. Google processes the refund within 48 hours if approved.

Stopee advises requesting refunds within 48 hours of purchase for the fastest approval. Apple and Google are more likely to approve refunds within this window.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them

Even with the best intentions, many people stumble during cancellation. We understand how frustrating this feels, and Stopee is here to help you sidestep these traps.

Mistake 1: pausing instead of cancelling

The pause button is tempting. It feels gentler than cancellation, and it is: paused subscriptions resume automatically after 1-3 months and restart billing. If you delete your account email or lose track of the pause date, you may forget and be charged unexpectedly.

Solution: Cancel outright if you do not plan to resume within 30 days. If you genuinely might come back, set a calendar reminder to either resume or formally cancel before the pause expires.

Mistake 2: deleting the app and expecting cancellation

Your app is just an interface. Uninstalling it changes nothing about your subscription. Mel Science continues to bill your payment method even if the app no longer appears on your phone. Stopee has seen hundreds of customers discover surprise charges months later because they assumed deletion meant cancellation.

Solution: Always cancel inside your account settings (Apple, Google, or Mel Science website) before you delete the app. Deletion is the final step, not the first.

Mistake 3: not saving your cancellation confirmation

Email confirmations get buried in inboxes, and Mel Science's website records sometimes get deleted after 60-90 days. If you ever need to dispute a charge or prove you cancelled, you will have no evidence.

Solution: Screenshot your cancellation confirmation on the Mel Science website immediately, then take another screenshot of the confirmation email when it arrives. Store both in a folder labeled "Subscription Cancellations" on your phone or computer. Stopee recommends keeping these records for at least one year.

Mistake 4: forgetting to check your next billing date

If you cancel after your billing date has passed but before it occurs again, you are safe. If you cancel after the billing date has already happened that month, you have already been charged and cancellation only prevents the next month's charge.

Solution: Log into your account right now and note your next billing date. If it is within 7 days, cancel immediately. Stopee recommends setting a phone alarm for two days before that date as a backup reminder.

How to contact mel science if you have issues

If Mel Science ignores your cancellation request, continues to charge you after you cancel, or disputes a legitimate refund claim, document everything and contact them formally.

Mel science contact details

Send cancellation disputes via email with screenshots of your cancellation request and any charges that occurred after you cancelled. Request a response within 7 days.
