How to cancel The Washington Post by mail

  1. Gather your account details

    Put the email on the account, the delivery address for print copies and the subscription or reference number from your latest invoice in front of you before you write: the request to The Washington Post is only as good as the details it quotes.

  2. Write your request

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

  3. Send it by certified mail

    Take the letter to the post office and ask for certified delivery to 20071 Washington. Keep the tracking number it gives you.

  4. Keep proof the letter arrived

    Delivery confirmation is your evidence that The Washington Post was asked. Watch the next statement or two for any further The Washington Post charge.

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

Cancel The Washington Post

Cancelling a news or magazine subscription

Publishers often move you from an introductory price to the standard rate and can steer cancellations towards phone or chat, so a written request is the record that you asked.

If a charge shows up after you cancelled, the letter and its receipt are what you put in front of the company or your bank.

The Washington Post lets you cancel directly (online (My Post > Manage subscription)). A letter is the fallback that leaves a dated record when the direct route fails.
