Great coffee, but the "Roach Motel" cancellation process is a huge red flag
Cometeer's coffee quality is great. Subscription cancelation process is very bad though. The cancellation process on the Cometeer website is intentionally difficult and uses a "dark pattern" or "roach motel" design. Subscribing was easy, but canceling was deceptively difficult. The process involves multiple steps with hard to spot buttons and misleading language designed to discourage cancellation. Users must navigate multiple pages and click hard to spot "Cancel Subscription" buttons. This can create the false impression that the process is complete. This whole process left me unsure whether the cancellation was successful and I had to go through the process multiple times to make sure. It is completely unnecessary. Make it simple to cancel. Is it your goal to collect extra revenue from customers who are confused by your unnecessarily difficult cancellation process? Is it worth the long-term cost of losing a customer's trust and damaging brand reputation?
