Trying to cancel Dell? Avoid the runaround.
Can you cancel your Dell subscription? Check eligibility and conditions
Dell Australia allows cancellations for product orders only before they enter production or shipping. If your order status is still “Processing” or not yet in “Production,” cancellation may be possible. Once marked as “In Production” or “Shipped,” cancellation is no longer available - you’ll need to return the product after delivery.
For monthly services, cancellation is allowed anytime. For annual subscriptions, a 30-day full-refund window applies. Delayed orders beyond reasonable delivery timelines may also qualify for cancellation, even if production has started.
How to cancel a Dell subscription, service or order
To cancel a Dell product order:
- Check your order status via Dell’s Order Support portal.
- If eligible, click “Request Cancellation” in your order menu.
- If no option is shown, contact Dell Customer Care via phone or live chat.
- You’ll receive confirmation if the cancellation is successful.
To cancel a service or subscription:
- For monthly plans, log into Dell Digital Locker or contact support to stop future billing.
- For annual plans, cancel within 30 days for a full refund by contacting Dell’s support or your sales rep.
- Always confirm via email and save your cancellation reference.
How long does a Dell cancellation take?
Product orders must be cancelled before production or shipment - ideally within 24 hours of purchase. Dell does not provide an exact time limit due to variable production speeds. For delayed orders, cancellation is permitted if delivery exceeds a “reasonable period.” If you miss the window, Dell offers a 15-day return policy from invoice date.
Service deadlines include:
- Monthly subscriptions: cancel before the next billing cycle.
- Annual subscriptions: cancel within 30 days for a refund.
Dell cancellation fees and final charges – what to expect
Dell does not charge cancellation fees for orders cancelled before shipping. If already charged, a full refund is issued. For returns after shipment, there may be:
- Shipping fee deductions (if originally paid).
- A restocking fee up to 15%, but this is usually waived for personal-use customers.
- Subscription cancellations also carry no penalties. Dell allows monthly plans to end at any time and annual plans to be fully refunded within 30 days.
