How to cancel PBS by mail

  1. Note your account details

    You will need the email address on the account, the plan name and, if you can find it, the billing partner shown on your latest statement. Use exactly the details PBS holds, so the request can be matched to your account.

  2. Draft the request

    The letter asks PBS to end the account, stop every future charge and confirm it in writing, under the subject line “Subject: Subscription termination – PBS”. Postbye fills it in from our English template.

  3. Send the letter by certified mail

    Send the letter to the Arlington mailing address shown below by certified mail. Keep the tracking number safe.

  4. File the delivery record

    File the receipt with the letter. A PBS charge dated after delivery is the one to dispute, and these two documents are what you quote.

With Postbye, steps 2 to 4 take about two minutes of your time.

Cancel PBS

Cancelling a streaming or entertainment subscription

Streaming plans renew silently each month, and many are billed by a partner such as an app store or a TV provider rather than the service itself, so the request has to reach whoever actually bills you.

A letter is the formal route: it states the request in writing, carries a date and, sent by certified mail, comes with proof of delivery.

PBS lets you cancel directly (email or call your local PBS station; memberships are held by the station, not PBS). A letter is the fallback that leaves a dated record when the direct route fails.

PBS cancellation questions

Where do I send my PBS cancellation letter?

Address the letter to PBS, 1225 S Clark St, Arlington, VA 22202.

How long does a cancellation letter to PBS take?

PBS's address is in Virginia. USPS states that First-Class Mail is delivered in 1 to 5 days. The delivery receipt records the day your letter actually arrived, and that is the date to quote. USPS: First-Class Mail

What should I check before I cancel PBS?

For a streaming or entertainment subscription: access normally runs to the end of the period you paid for, so a cancellation does not shorten what you already bought.

What do I need to cancel PBS?

Have the email address on the account, the plan name and, if you can find it, the billing partner shown on your latest statement to hand. The details in the letter need to match what PBS has on file.

Will PBS confirm my cancellation?

The letter asks PBS to end the account, stop further charges and confirm in writing, but a reply is not guaranteed. What you can rely on is the delivery receipt: it shows the date PBS received the request. If a charge posts after that date, quote the receipt with your copy of the letter.
